A court has approved pre-trial detention in absentia for another candidate who ran on the Strong Armenia ticket in the June 7 parliamentary election, as part of an ongoing vote-buying investigation.
The Investigative Committee said in a statement that the court granted the investigators’ motion to remand Artur Abrahamyan in custody with no bail. The individual remains at large and is wanted.
This marks the latest in a series of similar rulings in the same case. Earlier the same day, a court ordered pre-trial detention in absentia for another Strong Armenia candidate.
