In July 2024, the defendant A.H. approached us to take over the protection of his interests within the framework of the criminal case being investigated against him.
In the mentioned criminal case, the accused was charged in 2003 under Article 178, Part 3, Clause 1 and Article 179, Part 3, Clause 1 of the RA Criminal Code adopted in 2003, that is, for fraudulently embezzling pipes worth around 55 million AMD and embezzling tower cranes worth around 50 million AMD using misappropriation, which is considered especially large amounts.
A.H. had been wanted since 2015, and detention was chosen as a preventive measure. In February 2024, the defendant was taken into arrest, and the detention imposed on him as a preventive measure was reaffirmed.
Just 15 days after the lawyers of our Office, Andranik Mnatsakanyan and Arsen Sardaryan, took over the defense of A.H. in the criminal case, as a result of motions and procedural actions aimed at protecting A. H.'s interests, the detention imposed on the defendant as a preventive measure was replaced with a combination of alternative preventive measures.
