Russian-Armenian businessman Levon Hayrapetyan, who is under house arrest in Moscow, was taken to hospital, where he underwent medical treatment for one week.   

The businessman’s personal physician, neurologist Henri Bakunts told Armenian News-NEWS.am that even though Hayrapetyan has been discharged from hospital, he still needs to go through a daily course of treatment.

“The [health] situation has improved, it has stabilized, but we cannot assess in normal fashion, since a hospital regime is required for such patients. I’ve made an arrangement with the local physicians that they repeat this [medical treatment] course some time thereafter,” he said.       

Levon Hayrapetyan suffers from diabetes, and he also has cancer.  

Bakunts added that Hayrapetyan’s current health condition is unstable due to the stroke which he had suffered.   

Levon Hayrapetyan was detained in a Moscow airport on July 15 and subsequently arrested. On July 24, the Russian Federation Investigation Committee brought two criminal charges against him: embezzlement or misuse, and money laundering. On September 12, the Russian-Armenian businessman was charged with fraud, too. On October 3, however, a Moscow district court ruled in favor of releasing Hayrapetyan from prison and placing him under house arrest. 

Even though Levon Hayrapetyan has health problems, he was kept in prison for a long time. Hayrapetyan’s detention will terminate on December 15.
