July 13, 2026

Today, the Anti-Corruption Court, under the leadership of judge Sargis Dadoyan, is holding another court session with joint criminal proceedings.

Let’s remind that the powers of judge Givi Hovhannisyan in this case have been suspended, and now Sargis Dadoyan will continue the trial.

The case of the so-called “Diesel”, the resurrected fake, by which President Serzh Sargsyan was already acquitted once, is being investigated.

It should be reminded that the authority of Vahe Misakyan, the judge who acquitted Serzh Sargsyan in this case, has already been terminated under another pretext.
