In the criminal proceedings being investigated by the Main Department of Investigation for Cases of Special Importance of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Armenia, factual data has been obtained that in July-August 2022, a criminal organization was created and led by a group of individuals, which, using false powers of attorney, committed 18 thefts of real estate in the city of Yerevan.
In order to obtain information about the owners of real estate who were absent from the Republic of Armenia, H.M. involved T.V., a real estate agent in Yerevan, in a criminal organization. T.V. provided H.M. with information about the land plot owned by S.A., including a copy of the latter’s passport.
Then, H.M. informed his friend, attorney A.Gh., about the elaborate criminal scheme, and offered him to complete the aforementioned real estate transaction with a notary he knew in exchange for a certain share, to which the latter agreed.
As a result, on September 1, 2022, under a contract signed on the basis of a false power of attorney, a particularly large amount of real estate belonging to S.A. was donated to H.M. The latter sold the said real estate to A.D. for 384 million 655 thousand AMD, and gave A.Gh. 40 thousand USD as a share.
In addition to the above-mentioned case, A.Kh. also offered H.M. to prepare and alienate a false power of attorney for another apartment in Yerevan, the owner of which is deceased, as a result of which, under a contract signed on September 1, 2022, a particularly large amount of real estate belonging to R.K. was fraudulently stolen, which H.M. alienated to A.A. for 40 million 450 thousand AMD on September 13. After the transaction, 31 thousand USD of the amount received was transferred to A.Kh. as a share in person.
On December 4, 2024, the supervising prosecutor initiated public criminal prosecution against A.Gh. under Article 255, Part 3, Items 1 and 3 (fraud), Article 319, Part 1 (participation in a criminal organization), and Article 457, Part 2 (forgery of documents, stamps, seals, forms or sale, preparation or use of false documents, stamps, seals, forms) of the Criminal Code.
On December 18, 2024, house arrest, bail, and a ban on absence were imposed on A.Gh. as preventive measures.
Criminal prosecutions were also initiated against the leader of the criminal organization, under Article 255, Part 3, Items 1 and 3 (fraud), Article 318, Part 1 (creating or leading a criminal organization) and Article 457, Part 2 (forgery of documents, stamps, seals, forms or sale, preparation or use of false documents, stamps, seals, forms) and participants of the Criminal Code.
Notice: A person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty in accordance with the procedure established by the Criminal Procedure Code, by a court verdict that has entered into legal force.
