ArmInfo. The General Prosecutor's Office of Armenia reports that the former deputy of the Armenian parliament Artur Gevorkian has been detained in the US in connection with the violation of the country's legislation.
According to the source, the Prosecutor General's Office is preparing documents to apply to the relevant US structures in connection with the issue of transferring Gevrokyan to the Armenian authorities within the framework of his search.
"At the same time, it should be noted that the absence of a bilateral international treaty on extradition between Armenia and the United States in the field of transfer of persons in criminal cases may lead to some difficulties in the extradition process," the structure's statement underlines. It should be noted that former RPA deputy Artur Gevorgyan was charged under Article 314.3 (concealment of data on an especially large scale subject to declaration - Ed.) And 310.1 (Illegal enrichment - Ed.) Of the RA Criminal Code. Arrest was chosen as a preventive measure.
