The Criminal Court of Yerevan, presided over by Judge David Balayan, has just announced its verdict in the case of David Sanasaryan, the former head of the State Control Service, declaring and recognizing Sanasaryan’s innocence.

Sanasaryan was accused of abusing his official powers while serving as the head of the State Control Service.

The complaint against Sanasaryan was lodged at the National Security Service by Hrant Pivazyan, the director of “Fresenius” LLC, the Armenian partner of the German company “Fresenius Medical Care,” which had lost in purchase tenders.
