REJECTION TO JUDGE
Support A1+!Today Gagik Hakobian, the shareholder of Royal Armenia Company appeared in the courtroom handcuffed and escorted by policemen.
The court rejected advocate Ashot Sargsian’s petition to change the preventive punishment.
To remind: Gagik Hakobian was detained at Zvartnots airport the moment he returned from Spain. He had left Armenia to undergo medical treatment in Spain and failed to attend the Appellate Court hearings. The Court of Appeals ordered law-enforcement authorities to locate and again arrest the businessman, dismissing his assurances that he will return to the country after completing the treatment.
According to Ashot Sargsian, the court convened a sitting on October 8 and decided to engage Gagik Hakobian into the legal proceedings.
Ashot Sargsian presented rejection to Judge Suren Ghazarian and accused him of unbiased and objective treatment. The judge retired to the consultation room.
