Criminal case

In the criminal proceedings that have been under investigation for a long period of time by the Main Department for the Investigation of Economic Crimes and Smuggling of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Armenia, public criminal prosecution was initiated in July 2025 against R.N., a client of our firm’s attorney Andranik Mnatsakanyan, under Article 296, Part 3, Point 3 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia, for the alleged commission of a particularly serious crime (money laundering on an especially large scale). In addition, detention was applied to him as a preventive measure.

In December 2025, in the criminal case being investigated by the Arabkir Division of the Yerevan City Investigative Department of the RA Investigative Committee, our law firm’s lawyer, Andranik Mnatsakanyan, represented the interests of D.E., who had been charged with a serious crime under Article 166, Part 2, Points 5 and 10 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia—namely, causing serious bodily harm to another person through hooliganism by a group of persons. A motion was also submitted to the Yerevan City Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction regarding the application of pretrial detention as a preventive measure against D.E.

On May 24, 2024, we reported the termination of the criminal prosecution against our client A.Gh. on the basis of acquittal.

On November 27, 2025, during the preliminary hearing, the Criminal Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan examined the issue of the preventive measure applied to A.V., the client of our office’s attorneys Arsen Sardaryan and Edgar Ayvazyan, who is accused of committing serious and medium-gravity crimes. The court decided to lift the detention and to apply bail and a restriction on leaving as preventive measures.

During the criminal proceedings conducted at the Investigative Division of Erebuni and Nubarashen administrative districts, a charge had been brought against our law office’s client, D.A., represented by attorney Edgar Ayvazyan, for the illegal sale of narcotics (under Article 393, Part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia). A preventive measure of house arrest had been applied to him.

In October 2025, a foreign citizen, Y.C., applied to our law office to represent his interests in a criminal case that had been investigated by the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Armenia and submitted to the court with an indictment.
