WHO EMBEZZLED $2.7 MILLION? ACCUSED WANTS PROOF
http://www.epress.am/en/2011/07/12/who-embezzled-2-7-million-accused-wants-proof.html
The trial in the criminal case against Hayincassatsia CJSC employees
Anahit Grigoryan, Satenik Sargsyan, Aghavni Khachatryan, Armine and
Arman Grigoryan, and Sargis Danielyan continued in the Court of First
Instance of Arabkir and Qanaqer-Zeytoun Administrative Districts of
Yerevan on Monday.
Note, it's been over a year that Anahit Grigoryan and Satenik Sargsyan
have been in the Abovyan penitentiary. During one of the previous
lawsuits, the representatives of the accused motioned to change the
precautionary measure since both have serious health issues; the court,
however, did not sustain the motion.
Grigoryan's attorney Varduhi Elbakyan, speaking to Epress.am Monday,
said this criminal case is launched on an opinion of Armenia's
Central Bank.
"The Central Bank came to the opinion that Anahit Grigoryan embezzled
around one billion drams [around $2.7 million USD] between 2003 and
2009. Let me say, that during that entire time, inspections were
carried out and at no time was a breach uncovered by either the
auditors or the tax inspectorate," she said.
Only the plaintiff's representative, Hayincassatsia CJSC lawyer
Liana Mkhitaryan, was examined during Monday's trial. The defense
asked Mkhitaryan where she got the information that she gave at her
pre-trial testimony that Anahit Grigoryan stole that money.
Mkitaryan said that was how it was written in the investigator's
decision. Asked whether anyone guided her while writing her testimony
and who was present at the time, Mkhitaryan said accused Armen
Grigoryan and an additional 4 people were present while she was writing
her testimony, while the investigator showed her how to write it.
Anahit Grigoryan also directed several questions to the witness,
who promised a comprehensive response at the next court hearing.
In addition, Grigoryan made a statement in court which she noted,
"Absent in the investigation materials are inspection acts invoked
in the work of any Central Bank working group and written findings
based on expert justifications by any inspection organization, the
finance ministry, the tax inspectorate, the labor inspectorate, the
pension fund, the state registry and other state bodies, as well as
any auditing organization regarding the veracity of the embezzlement
of one billion drams. I hope that until I give my testimony in court,
a written document by any substantiated inspection organization
testifying to the embezzlement of one billion drams will be finally
shown to me."
At the end of the trial, Grigoryan's attorney said that no
substantiated motion put forth by the defense has been sustained by
Judge Levon Avetisyan and the entire trial process is dictated from
orders above.
