Court of Appeals to examine appeal for Gagik Tsarukyan’s preventive measure
The Court of Appeals will hear the prosecutors appeal on the court ruling denying request for Gagik Tsarukyan’s arrest tomorrow. As Gagik Tsarukyan’s lawyer Yerem Sargsyan informed, the hearing will start at 12.00.
To remind, on June 23 the Prosecutor General’s Office of Armenia appealed to a higher court the ruling of the Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction to deny a motion for the arrest of the opposition Prosperous Armenia Party leader, lawmaker Gagik Tsarukyan.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Prosecutor General’s Office said the appeal had already been filed to the Criminal Court of Appeals.
Judge Robert Papoyan on Sunday ruled against the arrest of Gagik Tsarukyan facing vote buying, tax evasion and illegal land appropriation charges.
