In a news conference on February 12 Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan
denied rumors on charges against Member of Parliament Hakob Hakobyan
(Lady) who is the founder of a union of Yerkrapah volunteers and stated
February 9 he supports Levon Ter-Petrosyan and took part in the rally.
However, although he denied that charges were brought against Hakob
Hakobyan, Aghvan Hovsepyan told about a case which relates to Hakob
Hakobyan but not directly. The point is that the Office of Prosecutor
General states to have revealed a brothel, a motel located in the
Anush clothes factory on one of the outskirts of Yerevan which is
not registered anywhere and pays no taxes. On December 9, 2007 the
administrator of the motel reported to the Office of Prosecutor
General that someone had extorted 50 thousand drams from him. The
Office of Prosecutor General exposed the extorter who explained
his action. It turned out that a customer had caught syphilis,
is now getting treatment and has therefore extorted money from the
administrator. Eight prostitutes were exposed, who told the brothel had
existed for a long time and has some tens of thousands of dollars of
profit a month, the prostitutes give the money to the administrator,
the administrator gives the money to the worker of the buffet, and
the latter hands out the money to the so-called director of the model
a certain Galstyan, who is Hakob Hakobyan's friend and neighbor, and
according to Aghvan Hovsepyan, has signed an agreement with Hakobyan
to occupy part of the factory for the motel, without any charge and
time limit.
Aghvan Hovsepyan says charges were brought for pimping and tax
avoidance, three have been arrested, investigation continues. The
reporters tried to find out when charges had been brought, considering
that the report came on December 9, whereas the case was revealed
after Hakob Hakobyan has endorsed Levon Ter-Petrosyan. The Prosecutor
General said the report on extortion took time to reveal the extorter,
the circumstances, to interrogate the prostitutes, as well as other
procedures. As to detention, Aghvan Hovsepyan says the three people
were arrested on February 11.
