Armenia’s Anti-Corruption Committee announced on Thursday that it had obtained evidence during an investigation suggesting that the ‘Strong Armenia’ party allegedly provided cash to voters in Alaverdi, Lori Province, in exchange for support in the parliamentary elections.
The law enforcement agency said the alleged bribes were distributed by the head of the ‘Strong Armenia’ party offices in Alaverdi, Lori Province, along with other individuals. Authorities also released audio recordings obtained during surveillance, which reportedly support the investigation’s findings.
Investigators stated that the payments were falsely presented as salaries for nonexistent jobs, and several individuals have been arrested as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
