The decision of the Anti-Corruption Court of Appeal is legal, reasoned and justified. Vahagn Vermishyan’s lawyer Alexander Kochubaev mentioned this in a conversation with Iravaban.net, talking about the cassation appeal filed against the measure of restraint of his client, but not accepted for proceedings.

To remind, on 4 March, the court published the decision on the motion submitted to change Vermishyan’s measure of restraint. The court decided to partially satisfy the petition submitted regarding the change of detention as a preventive measure applied to the defendant Vahagn Vermishyan. The arrest was replaced by house arrest for a period of 3 months. A bail in the amount of AMD 25 million, as well as a ban on leaving the country, was also applied.

On the same day, on 4 March, a cassation appeal was sent on behalf of Prosecutor General Anna Vardapetyan against the decision of the Anti-Corruption Court of Appeal, which was not even accepted by the Court of Cassation.

Kochubaev emphasizes that the decision to change the measure of retstraint is still event late.

It should be noted that the Court of First Instance found Vahagn Vermishyan guilty of this episode as well and sentenced him to a total of 8 years in prison.

Despite the accusations, the lawyers claim that Vahagn Vermishyan is innocent and they expect an acquittal decision on all counts from the Anti-Corruption Court Appeals.
