L. Hayrapetyan's lawyers to appeal court decision on arrest extension
The lawyers of businessman and public figure Levon Hayrapetyan, one of
the wealthiest Armenian businessmen in the world, will appeal against
the decision of Moscow's Basmanny court to extend his detention until
December 15, 2014, Hayrapetyan's lawyer Igor Komarov said.
The lawyers will ask the court to replace the businessman's
imprisonment with house arrest. "Hayrapetyan's health may considerably
deteriorate if he is held in custody," Komarov explained.
RIA Novosti reported on September 12 that Basmanny court extended
Levon Hayrapetyan's arrest. The court made such a decision despite his
lawyers' statement that L. Hayrapetyan suffers from several serious
diseases and may not survive in prison conditions. A bail of 30
million rubles and guarantees of authoritative persons were offered.
It also became known at the court sitting yesterday that a second
criminal case was opened against Levon Hayrapetyan.
Russia's Federal Security Service detained Levon Hayrapetyan, 65, on
July 15, 2014 after his plane from Nice landed at Domodedovo Airport
of Moscow. The businessman is now held in custody. He denies the
charges brought against him.
