The Prosperous Armenia Party leader remains in pretrial detention after the prosecutor asked for an extension in a fraud and money-laundering case.
A court has extended Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan’s pretrial detention by 3 months, following an initial 2-month detention order.
Tsarukyan was arrested on charges of large-scale fraud and money laundering. The detention ruling is not a determination of guilt.
The ruling followed a request for the extension from the prosecutor in his case, Public Radio of Armenia said.
The amendments raise fines and allow arrests and trials in absentia for offenses under the law, following weeks of haze from forest fires in Indonesia.
