Today, on September 17, the anti-corruption court, chaired by judge Levon Petrosyan, decided to extend the detention period of former NA deputy Martun Grigoryan by 3 months. Before that, public prosecutor Milena Arustamyan petitioned to extend Martun Grigoryan's detention period by 3 months. "I find that the reasons expressed in the decision made by the court continue to be relevant even at this stage of the trial. In particular, the Anti-Corruption Court based its decision on the fear and possibility that Matun Grigoryan, being free, may not fulfill both the criminal procedure code and the court's decision. � duties, in particular, may demonstrate improper behavior, which may be expressed by having a certain illegal influence on witnesses. Research of evidence has not been carried out yet, in particular, the subpoenaed witnesses in this criminal case have not been questioned. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the accused Martun Grigoryan was a member of the National Assembly for different years, he had other social connections and this is due to the position he held. in addition, the fact that the latter, in addition to political activity, also carried out extensive political activity in Shirak marz, particularly in Gyumri city, and in addition to political activity also He has also carried out practical activities", he said. Defense attorney Varazdat Harutyunyan claimed that Martun Grigoryan's arrest was illegal. Let's remind that Martun Grigoryan was arrested and then detained on August 13, as part of the criminal proceedings being investigated by the Anti-Corruption Committee. The criminal prosecution against him was initiated under the features of Article 221 of the RA Criminal Code, that is, the violation of the ban on charity during elections. Martun Grigoryan does not accept the accusation. Moreover, the defense side drew attention to the fact that the criminal prosecution, arrest and detention of Martun Grigoryan are illegal also due to the fact that it was bypassed by the Constitution and the Code of Criminal Procedure. Mandatory condition to overcome parliamentary immunity defined by the code. In particular, eavesdropping and internal observations were carried out on Martun Grigoryan, on May 24 the investigative body published the eavesdropping, thus making Grigoryan aware of it as well. In addition, on May 22, searches were carried out in the MP's house, office and car, thus Grigoryan actually acquired the status of a suspect, an actual criminal prosecution began, without overcoming immunity. It is noteworthy that on the very night of Martun Grigoryan's arrest, the investigator announced that he was going to announce the end of the preliminary investigation, although the investigator insisted at the court session that an active preliminary investigation should still be carried out.
