The Prosecutor General’s Office of Armenia has filed an appeal against the decision of Yerevan first instance court of general jurisdiction to deny the petition to apply arrest as a pre-trial measure against Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan. This is what Advisor to the Prosecutor General of Armenia Gor Abrahamyan said in response to a question from Armenian News-NEWS.am.
On June 21, the first instance court denied the petition to select arrest as a pre-trial measure against Tsarukyan.
Tsarukyan is charged with obstructing the will of voters through electoral fraud, but doesn’t accept the charge and views the case against him as unlawful.
