Arman Sahakyan, son of former parliamentary speaker Galust Sahakyan, is charged with abuse of official powers that has caused grave consequences. This is what acting Head of the Department of Information and Public Relations of the Investigative Committee of Armenia Rima Yeganyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am, adding that a pledge of AMD 5,000,000 has been applied as a pre-trial measure for him.

As reported the news service of the Investigative Committee, Arman Sahakyan has been engaged as an accused-on-trial within the scope of a criminal case related to the alienation of a plot of land adjacent to a school in Yerevan along with several other persons.

Sahakyan’s attorney declared that bringing a charge against Sahakyan has a political subtext and that the charge is overtly groundless and is based on the assumptions of the body implementing proceedings.
