YEREVAN, June 21. /ARKA/. Armenia’s Special Investigation Agency issued today morning a new report about the General Manvel criminal case.
General Manvel Grigoryan, who is a member of the National Assembly and the head of Yerkrapa (the Union of Karabakh War Veterans), established the benevolent fund ‘General Manvel Grigoryan’, to which individuals and organizations transferred money.
Some donations came also in cash.
The Special Investigation Agency’s press office said Thursday that there is suspicion that these financial resources were not put into the fund and spent improperly.
The agency asks all the individuals and organizations which donated money to this fund to contact their officers. The agency’s address is 13a V. Vagharshyan Street and phone number is (+374) 11 900 008.
The investigation is under way now.
The National Assembly of Armenia, responding to the Armenian prosecutor general’s motion, voted Tuesday to strip MP Manvel Grigoryan of immunity from prosecution.
The national security service officers searched Saturday the territories owned by Manvel Grigoryan and found guns and armament there.
They also found a collection of expensive cars and a private zoo here.
One finding aroused a strong public outcry – there was also the aid raised yet in 2016 for soldiers of the four-day April war in Artsakh.
Later, the prosecutor general’s office filed a motion to court asking it to authorize his pretrial detention.
According to the office, there is enough evidence for charging Manvel Grigoryan with illegal purchasing, selling and keeping guns and armament, including explosives and with gross embezzlement.
The suspect will remain in detention pending trial. -0---
