YEREVAN, June 28. /ARKA/. Nazik Amiryan, the wife of General Manvel, was taken in the police custody on Wednesday in suspicion of possession and movement of illegal guns, armament and explosives, the press office of the Armenian Special Investigation Service reports.
She was detained as part of her husband Manvel Grigoryan’s criminal case.
Mavel Grigoryan, a former member of the National Assembly and former head of Yerkrapa (the Union of Karabakh War Veterans), was arrested about two weeks earlier.
He had established the benevolent fund ‘General Manvel Grigoryan’, to which individuals and organizations transferred money. Some donations came also in cash.
The national security service officers searched 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 National Assembly of Armenia, responding to the Armenian prosecutor general’s motion, striped MP Manvel Grigoryan of immunity from prosecution.
The suspect will remain in detention pending trial.
The investigation is under way. -0---
