The lawyer’s team of Gurgen Khachatryan, the son of the former SRC Chairman Gagik Khachatryan, issued a statement refuting rumors that the defendant had been charged with money laundering.

Today’s Zhoghovurd daily wrote that documents have occurred in the hands of the preliminary investigation body informing that Gurgen Khachatryan has transferred cash to the accounts of offshore companies abroad through various individuals. According to the newspaper, he was charged under Article 190 of the RA Criminal Code.

“The information contained in the material is completely fictitious and untrue. Gagik Khachatryan’s son has not been charged with money laundering, he has not been arrested,” the statement said.

Advocates urge to refrain from violating the good reputation of the person and the presumption of innocence.
