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 civil case No. ED/57083/02/21, examined by the Court of General Jurisdiction of First Instance of Yerevan, the court of first instance had upheld the claim filed against our client and recognized the claimant as an heir who had accepted the inheritance on the basis of factual possession, thereby declaring invalid the state registration of ¾ of our client A.B.’s ownership right. The court had also dismissed our counterclaim seeking the eviction of the unlawful possessor(s) of the apartment.
