168: “If you don’t deny it, I will demand 10 million dollars in compensation.” Amsterdam d

Robert Amsterdam, an international human rights defender and a member of the legal team of the leader of the “Strong Armenia” party Samvel Karapetyan, will file a lawsuit against the NA Vice Speaker Ruben Rubinyan if he does not deny what he said. The human rights defender wrote about it on his Facebook page.

CP member Rubinyan stated earlier that Robert Amsterdam had contact with financier Jeffrey Epstein and provided him with legal services.
“Ruben Rubinyan, you are a liar who has lost his human form. I never worked with Epstein and I never gave him any advice. If you do not immediately and publicly deny this blatant lie, I will file a lawsuit against you demanding $10 million in damages,” Amsterdam wrote.
To remind, financier Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2006 on suspicion of involving minors in prostitution. In 2019, he was charged with criminal conspiracy to traffic and sexually exploit minors, which carries a sentence of up to 45 years in prison. Prosecutors allege that between 2002 and 2005, Epstein had sex with dozens of underage girls at his residences in New York and Florida, paid them money, and recruited some of them to recruit new victims. Some of the victims were younger than 14 years old.

In August 2019, Epstein’s body was found in the prison cell where he was awaiting trial. Epstein’s death was officially ruled a suicide, but conspiracy theories continue to circulate in the media, including because of gaps in released body camera footage.
In January 2026, the US Department of Justice released the files of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal case (about 3 million pages), after which there was a great uproar, because the names of a number of famous people were touched in them.
