The lawyer of Armenian driver involved in a fatal car crash in Russia has filed complaints against the actions of escort officers and doctors who brought Hrachya Harutyunyan to a courtroom dressed in a women’s robe.

Talking to the Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent, Alexander Maltsev said he had filed two complaints. According to Russian legislation, the response must be sent within 10 days. If the checkup is necessary, the term will be extended to 30 days.

As informed earlier, a truck crashed into a passenger bus on July 13 outside Moscow, and it was found out that the truck driver was an Armenian citizen by the name of Hrachya Harutyunyan. The impact of the crash was so powerful that the bus had split in two. The accident claimed 18 lives and about 50 others were hospitalized. The court had Harutyunyan arrested on Monday. To note, he was brought to the courtroom with slippers and a women’s robe. This fact caused widespread discontent among the Armenian public, and protests were staged across the Russian Embassy in Armenia.
