The European Union Delegation in Armenia has informed the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) about potential irregularities in relation to projects in Armenia funded by the European Union. OLAF investigated and informed the Armenian authorities, which, at the former’s recommendation, have been conducting their own investigation. One member of staff of the European Union Delegation in Armenia has been detained in connection with this ongoing investigation.
The European Union is fully committed to combating corruption and organised crime and will continue to support a full, effective and transparent investigation of any suspected irregularities.
The Delegation of the European Union in Armenia recalls that the presumption of innocence applies.
