ArmInfo.The head of Stepanavan community Mikael Gharakeshishyan, was convicted of embezzlement on an especially large scale.
According to the Police, facts have been studied confirming that Mikael Gharakeshishyan, being also the chairman of the board of trustees of the Stepanavan charity fund, committed illegal actions. Thus, the Bavarian Red Cross organization, as humanitarian aid to unsecured families, from 2013 to 2019 allocated various goods, including household goods, to the charity fund totaling more than 316 thousand euros and 32 million drams. Meanwhile, the head of the community, having drawn up fictitious documentation, appropriated part of the goods for a total value of more than 89 million drams.
In addition, through falsifications and formal auctions, Gharakeshishyan alienated the community lands to his son. It was also established that he, knowing that on a plot of land owned by his son, one of the senior officials was building a mansion without proper permission, not only did not stop the illegal construction, but also falsified official documents, on the basis of which in the Stepanavan office of the State Committee of the Cadastre in 2015, state registration of ownership was carried out.
A criminal case has been opened in the police regarding the incident, which was sent to the Investigative Committee
