Former Defense Minister of Armenia Davit Tonoyan will not be released since the Criminal Court of Appeal rejected the defense’s appeal for his release a little while ago, defense attorney Avetik Karapetyan said during a conversation with Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The advocate informed that even though he and the other attorneys aren’t familiar with the court decision yet, they will most probably appeal the decision.

Tonoyan is charged under a criminal case regarding misuse of supply of ammunition and is particularly charged with plundering AMD 2,277,323,840.
