In December 2025, the accused D.V. applied to our office, requesting legal representation and protection of his interests within the framework of a criminal proceeding investigated by the Anti-Corruption Committee of the Republic of Armenia.
Prior to applying to our office, D.V. had been charged under Points 2 and 3 of Part 2 of Article 435, Point 4 of Part 2 of Article 441, Part 1 of Article 46-445, and Point 2 of Part 2 of Article 435 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia, namely for allegedly demanding a bribe in large amounts for an unlawful act, abuse of official authority by a group of officials, incitement to official forgery, and receiving a bribe for an unlawful act. By a decision of the Anti-Corruption Court of the Republic of Armenia, detention for a period of two months had been imposed on him as a preventive measure.
After the defense of the accused in the criminal proceedings was undertaken by attorney Andranik Mnatsakanyan of our firm, due to a properly chosen defense strategy, as well as the court’s objective approach, in February 2026 the investigator’s motion to extend the detention period was dismissed. Instead, a combination of alternative preventive measures (house arrest, bail, and a travel ban) was applied to our client, who is accused of serious crimes.
We express our gratitude to Judge Sargis Petrosyan of the Anti-Corruption Court of the Republic of Armenia for issuing a fair judicial decision.
