    A1+
    [06:41 pm] 14 September, 2006

    Twelve people were arrested in connection with criminal case against
    registration of real estate right via using false receipts. There
    are high-rank officials among them who pocketed 1, 5 milliard AMD
    from ordinary citizens.

    Eight more citizens are under search, among them representatives of
    state establishments. Sona Truzyan, press secretary of RA General
    Prosecutor's Office, affirmed this information. She said preliminary
    investigation revealed 200 cases. As a result of the investigation
    they learned that 1, 5 milliard AMD taken by citizens wasn't entered
    the state budget.

    According to our refined data, a group of sly officials including
    the names of ordinary workers, chief specialist and even the heads of
    Cadastre sub-departments, came to an agreement to fraud certificates
    and embezzle great sums of money in this way. As a result of it,
    citizens or legal figures who tried to register their property in the
    Cadastre were cheated by the crafty officials who suggested making
    bank payment for them. Thus, only 1/3 taken from the citizens was
    entered into state budget. The rest of the money the officials put
    in their pockets. By the way, the receipts of "Areksinbank" and
    "Armkhnaybank" were falsified.

    R. Eghiazaryan, head of the Davitashen Cadastre department,
    A. Sargsyan, chief specialist of the Erebuni registration department,
    A. Khachatryan, chief specialist of legal department of the Ministry
    of Energy, H. Ghambaryan, operator of "ArmPost" LTD delivery service
    as well as Armen Zakaryan, head of the coordinating department of
    Cadastre State Committee are among the crafty officials.

    The investigation is under way. The above-mentioned people are accused
    according to the 1st provision of Article 178 of the RA Criminal Code
    and 1st provision of Article 203 for the embezzlement of great sums
    of money and forgery of documents. They will probably be sentenced
    to 9-year imprisonment.
