Former security official Vachagan Ghazaryan, the head of ex-President Serzh Sargsyan’s security detail, has been released from pre-trial detention on a 1,000,000,000 dram (roughly 2,1 million dollars) bail, the Special Investigative Service told ARMENPRESS.
Ghazaryan was placed under pre-trial detention for two-months. But the former security official appealed the verdict to a higher court, which in turn granted bail.
The court had set the bail for his release earlier on July 20.
