YEREVAN. - Russian citizen Sergey Mironov will leave for Moscow on Wednesday, Radio Liberty reports.

Mironov was detained on Saturday in Yerevan’s Zvartnots Airport on suspicion of money laundering and arms trafficking and later set free upon the decision of Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan’s Kentron and Nork-Marash Administrative Districts.

“My client had a two-way ticket  from Moscow to Armenia and back. He was to return to Moscow on August 31. Under the decision of the court, the motion on his arrest was denied. We found no ban in the court decision, which would prevent my client to leave Armenia. There has been no ban from the side of the Prosecutor’s Office either. At least so far, while we are talking with you, we have no information on that someone has forced us to stay in Armenia and wait to see what will happen. I suppose that since there is no ban we are free people,” Mironov’s attorney, Karen Nersisyan, told Radio Liberty.

To the question as to whether Mironov will try to leave Armenia on August 31, the attorney said: “He will certainly leave -without trying - if there is no ban, an official ban saying that we have no right to leave Armenia.”

To the remark that Nersisyan himself earlier announced that the court had to rule on Sergey Mironov’s extradition during 40 days and before that the Russian citizen had to stay in Armenia, the attorney responded: “If the court decided that choosing arrest as a precautionary measure against him was senseless and chose another measure, for instance release on signature bond or bail or something else, then this would be a 40-day procedure. Now that the court has denied this request of the prosecutor’s office and we have no obligations, there is no hindrance in the decision.”
