The Central Electoral Commission of Armenia has granted the motions of the Prosecutor General’s Office to launch criminal prosecution against a candidate for MP accused of giving prima facie electoral bribe and giving consent to deprivation of liberty of the particular candidate. This is what Advisor to the Prosecutor General of Armenia Gor Abrahamyan wrote on his Facebook page.

Abrahamyan added that the Prosecutor General’s Office calls on all the forces running in the elections to refrain from committing illegal acts related to the elections, entering into criminal relations and taking actions aimed at impacting the free election of citizens.
