The Supreme Judicial Council Rejected the Motion to Initiate Disciplinary Proceedings Against Judge Napoleon Ohanyan

Our office has won another victory thanks to the efforts of Arsen Sardaryan and Tatevik Malkhasyan. The Court rejected the claim of the RA General Prosecutor against our principal, Gagik Sahakyan, for recovery of damages caused to the state, having found that there was insufficient evidence of guilt in causing damage in the specified amount.

In the judicial practice of the Republic of Armenia, a stable practice of providing compensation to persons acquitted in criminal proceedings has gradually formed. About two years ago, our client R.P., who was acquitted in a criminal case, had been in custody for about 40 days, and for several months, a preventive measure of a ban on absences was applied. In addition, a search was conducted in his home, thereby restricting his right to inviolability of the home.
