HOVIK ABRAHAMYAN SLIPPED OFF
The Hraparak Daily reminds that Tigran Virabyan, head of agricultural
department of Ararat's governor's office, was arrested for breaches
of diesel fuel subsidy program. And since he gave subsidized fuel to
Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan's relatives, the high-ranking beneficiaries
were expected to help Virabyan, especially that he threatened to
mention a lot of people in his testimony. Later Virabyan was remanded
in custody, and his term was prolonged. It seemed that the ex-official
would be judged.
According to the message of the Special Investigative Service, Virabyan
was charged with embezzlement of 2012-2013 government assistance to
subsidize the price of diesel fuel for farmers.
The head of the information service of the SIS Michael Aharonyan
informed that Virabyan did not utter any high-ranking official's name,
pleaded guilty and even regretted for his actions. "We have also
learned that Virabyan has return the greater part of about 14 million
drams of damage. Hence, Virabyan is loyal to the government and he may
be acquitted or sentence to a light punishment," the newspaper wrote.
