Harutyunyan’s father-in-law, Viktor Martirosyan, told about the aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Martirosyan also noted that there is no answer yet to the respective letter sent to the Russian Minister of Justice, soon it will be six months since his petition to the ministry, they are unable to speak with Harutyunyan, and the attorney is not answering the phone calls.      

We asked for information also from the Ministry of Justice, which promised to provide additional explanations.

As reported earlier, Armenian citizen Hrachya Harutyunyan had pleaded guilty to causing a major traffic accident in Russia. The truck he was driving had crashed into a passenger bus on July 13, 2013 outside Moscow. The impact of the crash was so powerful that the bus had split in two. The accident had claimed eighteen lives and injured more than forty others.

On August 4, 2014, a Moscow district court had sentenced Harutyunyan to six years and nine months in prison on charges of “violating traffic and vehicle operation rules, which has unwittingly led to the death of two or more persons.” And the Moscow Municipal Court had upheld this verdict.
