Today, the Anti-Corruption Court, under the leadership of Judge Givi Hovhannisyan, is conducting another court session with joint criminal proceedings.
The case of the so-called “Diesel”, the resurrected fake, by which President Serzh Sargsyan was already acquitted once, is being investigated.
Let’s remind that the powers of judge Vahe Misakyan in that case have already been terminated under another pretext.
At the beginning of the previous court session, procedural issues were examined: objections, objections, and then the issue of property liability was discussed. The public prosecutor presented the content of the claim.
Expressing his position, Serzh Sargsyan’s defense attorney Amram Makinyan said that the Appellate Court did not doubt the innocence of President Serzh Sargsyan, and the materials of this case were collected in violation of criminal law.
Judge Givi Hovhannisyan recognized Serzh Sargsyan and the other two defendants as property managers.
At the beginning of today’s court session, defense attorney Amram Makinyan reminded the court again that during the preparation of materials, the deadlines for initiating the case were violated, and this was recorded by the Court of Appeal.
“During the new examination of the case, the Anti-corruption Court should examine whether the 2013 Sergo Karapetyan acted according to the relevant decision of the government. This needs to be cleared up no matter what. The appeals court did not doubt the innocence of President Serzh Sargsyan in any way. And this circumstance does not give Mr. President the opportunity to submit a property claim,” said Amram Makinyan.
After listening to the parties, the court decided to give the final solution to the property claim with a final judicial act.
Next, the court moved to the stage of examination of the evidence, the order and order of their examination.
The public prosecutors presented their order of sifting the evidence. Expressing his position, Amram Makinyan said that there were no proofs in what was listed, they were data on the economic activities of various companies, various banking secrets.
Next, the accused were asked if they confirmed their intention to be questioned.
“I can’t say. rather, no, but according to the situation, I will understand,” said Serzh Sargsyan.
The answer of Barsegh Beglaryan, the owner of “Flash” company, was similar.
The court session was postponed. The next court session will take place in 2026. May 12 at 3:30 p.m.
