Court cancels arrest of Armenia TV channel owner’s property

The Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan, chaired by Judge Karen Farhoyan, partially satisfied the petition to cancel the arrest of the property of the owner of Channel 5 TV company Armen Tavadyan.

“The arrest for funds in the amount of 1 million 512 thousand drams remains, the arrest for movable and immovable property is removed,” the judge said.

Tavadyan’s lawyer submitted a motion to cancel the arrest of the client’s property.

In one criminal case, Tavadyan is accused of bribing a victim of the March 2008 case in order to give false testimony in court. The other two relate to the incident on May 13, 2019, in the courtyard of the court, when the issue of a preventive measure against Robert Kocharyan was considered.
