A criminal case was initiated on the basis of the publication of demanding money from suspended Chief of State Supervision Service David Sanasaryan on the basis of Article 182 (1) of the Criminal Code.

The Iravaban.net learned this informed from the Head of Public Relations Department of the Prosecutor General’s Office Arevik Khachatryan.

“The Prosecutor’s Office has sent to the Yerevan City Police Department the publication in press entitled “Sanasaryan accuses Parents of Child in Blackmail,” for the purpose of criminal prosecution and settlement of the case. Taking into account that the prepared materials seem to contain evidence of the characteristics of the crime, a criminal case was opened at the Erebuni Police Department under Article 182, Part 1 of the RA Criminal Code,” Khachatryan said.
