Judges Refuse to Make Rulings on Confiscation of Illegal Assets: 'Zhoghovurd'

'Zhoghovurd' newspaper reports that during internal discussions among judges, the issue of confiscating illegal assets has been raised, leading to expressed concerns. Judges have particularly voiced their worries and stated that they are not prepared to confiscate anyone's property as illegal assets, providing their reasoning for this stance.

Judges believe that the law is poorly formulated and lacks clarity. The outcome of these internal discussions remains unclear. This comes as the first lawsuit regarding the confiscation of illegally acquired assets has been submitted to the court, specifically concerning Serob Harutyunyan, the former head of the 'Nubarashen' penitentiary.
