Criminalization of illicit enrichment can’t be effective in Armenia without adoption of some related laws - minister

YEREVAN, December 23. /ARKA/. Criminalization of illicit enrichment can’t be effective in Armenia without adoption of some related laws, Arpine Hovhannisyan, Armenian justice minister, said Thursday at a regular cabinet session.

The law implying criminal prosecution of illegally enriched officials will come into force on July 1, 2017 and it empowered law enforcement agencies to prosecute officials whose declared wealth doesn’t correspond to their legal income.

However, this doesn’t apply to those officials who have managed to pocket money before. --0---
