Hovhannes Tamamyan, a high ranking RA Police official, was sentenced
to 4 years imprisonment yesterday for covering up a murder in 2010.
General Tamamyan, who headed the Department of General Criminal
Investigations, was charged with abuse of power because he failed to
prosecute the actual murderer at the request of MP and businessman
Levon Sargsyan.
Suspended sentences of 2.5 years were handed down by the court to
two other high ranking police officials implicated in the same case.
Tamamyan's lawyer Vaghinak Gevorgyan says he'll consult with his
client regarding a possible appeal.
