Avet Konjoryan, the brother of Hayk Konjoryan, leader of the Civil Contract faction, was deprived of his driving license for one year in July 2025. However, three months later, Konjoryan was again behind the wheel of a car, was discovered by patrol officers, and a criminal case was opened under the article “Driving a vehicle while deprived of the right to transport.”
During the subsequent criminal proceedings, it was decided to fine Konjoryan by mutual agreement. The “fine by mutual agreement” provision allows for a fine to be imposed on the accused in the case of a minor, first-time offense, avoiding other penalties. Avet Kondzhoryan was convicted in 2010 by a final court decision, but this didn’t stop the police from including a certificate of no criminal record in the criminal case file for driving without a license, and Kondzhoryan was given the opportunity to settle the case by agreeing to pay a fine.
How did such a certificate end up in the criminal case file and help Kondzhoryan avoid a harsher sentence if he already had a criminal record? The police explained to Radio Liberty that they did not provide such a certificate to the Investigative Committee. The investigative side also claims to have received the corresponding certificate from the police.
