YEREVAN, JULY 26, NOYAN TAPAN. The petition of Hovik Arsenian,
the defender of Aleksandre Arzumanian, the RA former Minister of
Foreign Affairs, was disregarded during the examination of the
application submitted against the July 21 decision of the Court
of First Instance concerning the fact of prolonging the detention
of Aleksandre Arzumanian set as a preventive measure for two more
months. As the defender of the former RA Minister of Foreign Affairs
mentioned during his conversation with a Noyan Tapan coresspondent,
he had made a petition in order to claim at least one document from
the preliminary body with which they could prove that the sum sent
to Aleksandre Arzumanian is "dirty", that is to say, it has been
obtained in an illegal way.
According to the defender, the RA Court of Appeal on Criminal Cases,
which rejected his petition on July 24, did not refer to the letter of
recomendation of the 19 MPs of the RA National Assembly with regard
to changing the preventive measure of Aleksandre Arzumanian either,
nor grounded the fact of how A. Arzumanian can hinder the investigation
of the case if he is set free.
It should be mentioned that Aleksandre Arzumanian was charged with
"money laundering" on May 10 and a decision was made to put him under
arrest as a preventive measure.
