On the basis of the RA Prosecutor General’s request, the extradition process of Narek Sargsyan continues in compliance with the legal regulations and procedures of the Czech Republic.

Adviser to the Prosecutor General Gor Abrahamyan told Iravaban.net about it. According to him, the request is still under discussion. There is no problem with the timing of the extradition process.

As we have previously reported, the Czech Republic may extradite Narek Sargsyan, the nephew of the 3rd RA President. The Prague City Court has made such a decision. Court spokeswoman Marketa Puci told the reporters on June 3, as Visegradgroup.eu reported.

The final decision on extradition will be made by the Minister of Justice of the Czech Republic Marie Benešová.

It should be reminded that different police divisions, as the National Central Bureau of Interpol in Armenia, cooperated with law enforcement agencies and Interpol in a number of European countries, and as a result of extensive operative-intelligence measures, detected Narek Sargsyan on 6 December in Prague. The latter was internationally wanted by Armenian law enforcement agencies. At the moment of detection, he presented a fake passport of a citizen of Guatemala, Franklin Gonzalez.

Notably, on 26 June, a criminal case was instituted against him according to the Criminal Code for the illegal acquisition, sale, transfer, transportation or possession of weapons, ammunition, explosive devices or explosives, and illegal sale of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors.

Narek Sargsyan was wanted since 6 July, and was in international search since 24 July.

Note: A person that is suspected or accused of an alleged crime is considered innocent until his/her guilt is proved by a court judgment that has come into legal effect pursuant to the procedure determined by RA Criminal Procedure Code.
