Aghvan Hovsepyan, a former prosecutor general and chairman of the Investigative Committee has been detained for two months by a decision of a Yerevan court.
His attorney, Sasun Rafaelyan, told Factor.am that they would appeal the decision in the Criminal Court of Appeal.
“The court has published only the final part of the decision, we don’t know the grounds yet, but I can clearly say that it is subject to appeal,” Rafaelyan said.
Hovsepyan is accused of multiple crimes, including bribery, embezzlement and money laundering during his service as prosecutor general between March 18, 2004 and September 13, 2013, then Chairman of the Investigative Committee between July 18, 2014 and June 11, 2018.
Hovsepyan denies any wrongdoing.
