The Arrest Warrant for Vahagn Harutyunyan Remains in Effect

The arrest warrant for Vahagn Harutyunyan, the former head of the investigative group for March 1, has not been revoked. This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General of Armenia.

It is noteworthy that on December 12, the Court of Appeals overturned a first-instance decision and canceled the arrest order against Vahagn Harutyunyan.

Harutyunyan is accused of organizing the fabrication of evidence in relation to a particularly serious crime.

According to the National Security Service's statement, it was determined during the pre-investigation of the criminal case concerning the events that took place in Yerevan from March 1 to 2, 2008, that Vahagn Harutyunyan, while holding the position of a senior investigator in the Special Investigation Service of Armenia from 2007 to 2011, organized the fabrication of evidence with the involvement of individual investigators from the investigative group and police officers, including expert A. H.

It should be reminded that Vahagn Harutyunyan was dismissed from the position of Deputy Head of the Investigative Committee and Head of the Division for Particularly Important Cases in July of this year.
