    ArmInfo. Big thefts have been detected in 'Artik' and 'Akhuryan'
    branches of 'VTB Bank (Armenia)'. As ArmInfo was informed from Armenian
    Prosecutor General's Office, as a result of special investigation
    activities it became clear that the head of service department of
    'Artik' branch A.Garoyan, having the key of the pay office stole
    the sum equivalent to 15.7 mln drams. A charge was brought against
    Garoyan by the article 179 (part 3, point 1) of Armenian Criminal
    Code and he was taken into custody.

    Another big theft happened at 'Akhuryan' regional branch of 'VTB Bank
    (Armenia)', where Gyumri resident K.Varosyan made credits contracts at
    his name and at the name of 10 other persons under the gold loan. But
    he deceived the jeweler of the branch O.Bagdasaryan and loaned items
    made of yellow metal instead of gold. As a result Varosyan illegally
    got 14.151 mln drams. On the basis of proofs a charge was brought
    against Varosyan by the article 178 (part 3, point 1) of Armenian
    Criminal Code and he was taken into custody.

    VTB Bank (Armenia) disseminated a statement wherein it mentions that
    the planned inspections of the activity of the above branches revealed
    the violations of the law. The head office immediately submitte d
    the materials necessary for launching investigation and initiating
    criminal cases to the territorial agencies of the Police and the
    Prosecutor's Office and temporarily dismissed the employees suspected
    in the given crimes. The given branches of the bank are charged to
    study the situation, provide the investigation with necessary data and
    cooperate to reveal such facts in future. The statements says that all
    the operational risks of the banks are insured (Banker's Blanket Bond
    (BBB) - insurance protecting banks from criminal acts).

    VTB Bank (Armenia) deeply concerned about the existence of such people
    in the staff and urges all the citizens not to conceal the criminals
    and immediately informed the head office of the bank of any illegal
    actions by the staff. VTB Bank (Armenia) is ready to permanent and
    effective cooperation with the law-enforcement to stop and prevent
    any attempts of violation of the law by its staff. The moral and
    material damage caused to the bank will be restored and those found
