A while ago, Russian Armenian businessman and philanthropist Samvel Karapetyan was taken from the Investigative Committee of Armenia to court to consider his preventive measure.

Those gathered in the courtyard of the Investigative Committee greeted Karapetyan with applause, and then they marched to the courthouse.

A criminal case has been launched against him.

At around 3am Wednesday, Karapetyan had come out of his mansion in Yerevan and left with law enforcement officers.
