Yerevan court rules to end prosecution of Serzh Sargsyan’s nephew
Judge Anna Danibekyan of the Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction on Tuesday ruled to end the criminal prosecution of Hayk Sargsyan, a nephew of Armenia’s second President Serzh Sargsyan.
He was acquitted of illegal arms possession, while the charge of attempted murder under Article 235 of Armenia’s Criminal Code was replaced with a charge under Article 120 – negligently causing serious bodily injury.
However, the statute of limitations was applied in that case, in fact leading to the end of the prosecution against Hayk Sargsyan.
