The prosecutor is dissatisfied with the court ruling regarding Kuwaiti citizen Mahdi, who was sentenced to three months in prison and fined 250,000 drams (about US$512) for illegally crossing the state border of Armenia.
Tavush Province prosecutor Manukyan has petitioned to the Court of Appeal with a request to reverse the said ruling and forward this criminal case to the Tavush District Court of First Instance for a new trial.
According to the indictment, on May 27, Mahdi had illegally crossed the state border of Armenia from Georgia with a fake Italian passport.
The Tavush General Jurisdiction Court had found the Kuwaiti citizen guilty, sentenced him to three months in prison, and fined him 250,000 drams.
But considering that the defendant was in custody for more than three months, he was released immediately from the courtroom.
