In December 2025, in the criminal case being investigated by the Arabkir Division of the Yerevan City Investigative Department of the RA Investigative Committee, our law firm’s lawyer, Andranik Mnatsakanyan, represented the interests of D.E., who had been charged with a serious crime under Article 166, Part 2, Points 5 and 10 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia—namely, causing serious bodily harm to another person through hooliganism by a group of persons. A motion was also submitted to the Yerevan City Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction regarding the application of pretrial detention as a preventive measure against D.E.
Thanks to a correctly chosen defense strategy, as well as the objective approach shown by the court, the investigator’s motion to apply pretrial detention was rejected, and administrative supervision was imposed on D.E. as an alternative preventive measure.
We thank Judge Vardan Grigoryan of the Yerevan City Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction for issuing a fair judicial act.
