    Dec 1, 2008

    YEREVAN, December 1. /ARKA/. Two hundred and fourteen corruption
    crimes had been detected in Armenia by November 26, 2008, - a 2.7-fold
    increase as compared with the corresponding period last year (79).

    Speaking at a conference on the prevention, detection and investigation
    of corruption crimes, Vice-Chief of the RA Police, Chief of the
    Head Investigation Department, Gagik Hambartsumyan reported that 115
    (55.6%) of the crimes were detected by the police, with 37 of them
    by the Head Department for Organized Crime Control.

    Hambartsumyan reported that 40 cases of bribery were detected this
    January-November against three cases in the corresponding period
    last year.

    Eight of the 40 cases involved commercial bribery.

    Nineteen cases of misappropriation and embezzlement, 15 cases of
    abuse of office, and 45 other corruption crimes were registered this
    January-November.

    Despite considerable progress, the battle against corruption is far
    from being satisfactory, Hambartsumyan said.

    "It is no secret that they are latent crimes, and the battle
    against them requirement of involvement of health forces both of
    the law-enforcement and government agencies and of the public,"
    he said.
