Speaking about the civil case being heard in the anti-corruption court, Vahagn Vermishyan’s attorney Armen Melkumyan told Iravaban.net that this case stands out from others because their client had been outside of Armenia, conducting his entire professional activities abroad for about 30 years. According to the attorney, the property acquired by Vahagn Vermishyan in Armenia could not have given rise to suspicions.

“The prosecuting body, while fully aware that Mr. Vermishyan has not been in Armenia since the 1990s and has conducted his business activities outside its borders, and despite having the tools defined by the ‘Law on Confiscation of Illegally Obtained Property’ to make interstate or intergovernmental inquiries to foreign counterparts, has not done so, and the investigation has been severely limited,” said Armen Melkumyan.

The attorney notes that the responding party itself has tried to carry out these inquiries, obtain documents containing banking information, and present them to the court to confirm the legitimacy of their client’s income.
