A charge has been brought against Levon Sargsyan (brother of third President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan) within the scope of the criminal case in the proceedings of the Investigative Committee of Armenia in relation to the prima facie abuse committed during construction of the country’s North-South Road Corridor.

Based on sufficient evidence obtained during the preliminary investigation, a decision has been rendered to involve Levon Sargsyan as an accused-on-trial. The Investigative Committee has declared a search and has filed a motion with the court to select detention as a preventive measure.

Sargsyan is also charged with illicit enrichment and concealment of property subject to declaration. Sargsyan’s son and daughter — Narek and Ani — are also accused-on-trial within the scope of this case.
