On August 10, law enforcement agencies carried out a special operation in the center of the capital, named 'Koko Jambo', as reported by shamshyan-com.

The main department of criminal police received operational information that Konstantin Hunanian, a 31-year-old resident of Yerevan, who has been wanted since 2020 for particularly serious crimes and is known by the nickname 'Koko', was at an apartment in one of the buildings in the Central administrative district of Yerevan.

He was arrested on suspicion of murder and illegal possession and use of weapons, and was subsequently transferred to the police station, where he was presented to the Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Armenia for especially important cases concerning crimes against a person.

According to the source, during the neutralization of 'Koko', he could not use the pistol and the homemade submachine gun, as he was asleep in bed with the weapons.
