An Armenian has been sentenced for 16 years of imprisonment in Britain for carrying out  a series of robberies. 43 -year-old former karate coach Haik Madoyan illegally arrived to Great Britain in 2001 and asked for a political asylum. Although he was twice caught in theft in stores during that period, he managed to stay in Britain , where he was committing robberies for two years , reports  thenorthernecho.co.uk.

In 2008, Madoyan fled to Switzerland , but he was extradited from there in September of 2015 . The witnesses immediately recognized Madoian, because he lost his eye during his service in the army.
