Some 15,766 crimes were committed in Armenia in 2012 – 796 fewer than
in 2011, Deputy Prosecutor General of Armenia Mnatsakan Sargsyan said
on Tuesday.
He said that the declining crime rate proves the efficiency of the
police. “In 2012 we continue efforts to improve our combat against
trafficking. We investigated 24 cases against 27 people, with 10
people convicted as a result,” Sargsyan said.
The economic crime rate is also on the decline: in 2012 there were
770 such cases – 342 fewer than in 2011.
“In 2012 we investigated 17 money laundering cases, whose total damage
was 1.2bln AMD, with 1bln AMD already repaired,” Sargsyan said.
