ArmInfo. Godson of head of the Constitutional Court, Hrayr Tovmasyan, Norayr Panosyan, has been charged again. The Special Investigation Service confirms this information.
In the framework of the criminal case under investigation, Panosyan was charged with a new charge under Article 308 (2) of the Criminal Code of Armenia (abuse of power, which entailed serious consequences by negligence). The court submitted a motion for to choose of an arrest in respect of him in the form of a preventive measure.
Earlier, the investigation had established that former employee of the Ministry of Justice of Armenia Norayr Panosyan, holding the post of head of the Legislation Inspection Inspectorate in the Ministry of Justice in 2011-2014, together with a number of other officials, deprived two notaries of the opportunity to register their work premises for free use. Panosyan wanting to buy these premises himself, agreed with the employees of the Ministry of Justice and Yerevan Municipality, who organized fictitious auctions for the sale of these premises, at prices significantly lower than market prices.
In particular, the territory in the 1st dead end of Baghramyan Avenue, with a market value of 63.4 million drams (about 133 thousand dollars), was sold for 47.5 million, and the teritory on Bagratunyats Street, worth 33.5 million (70 thousand dollars) - for 3.8 million.
These territories belonged to the Municipality of Yerevan, which as a result received less income, and notaries lost their free territory for work. Also detained was an employee of "Land and Real Estate Operations" CJSC Tigran Ter-Harutyunov, who gave an underestimated assessment of real estate.
Norayr Panosyan was previously arrested, but subsequently, by decision of the Court of Appeal, he was released.
