ArmInfo. The citizen who had  testified against Gagik Tsarukyan withdrew his/her testimony during  his confrontation. Lawyer of the head of the Prosperous Armenia  Party, oligarch Gagik Tsarukyan, Yerem Sargsyan, announced this on  July 2.

He noted that this is a case related to the 2017 election bribes. <At  the same time, I would like to emphasize that there is no factual  evidence to attract Tsarukyan as an accused. The court decision also  notes that there is no evidence of Tsarukyan's guilt. Therefore,  where is the evidence that he ordered someone to bribe voters. The  prosecution has no such data, "Sargsyan emphasized.

The lawyer also emphasized that there is no more evidence against  Tsarukyan. But it is precisely the testimony of this citizen that was  the basis for the prosecution.

It should be noted that the court session in the case of  head of the  PAP Gagik Tsarukyan was postponed until July 7. Tsarukyan is charged  with 3 criminal cases. So, according to the investigation, the  leadership and other members of the Prosperous Armenia party  distributed hundreds of millions of drams of election bribes in 2017  in accordance with well-developed schemes, and this was done under  the pretext of charity.  In another case, Tsarukyan's companies were  involved in the organization of the casino's illegal activities,  resulting in damage to the state of $ 60 million. Another criminal  case concerns a company associated with Tsarukyan, which illegally  appropriated land, and the state suffered damage of 342 million drams  (about 685 thousand dollars). The politician himself believes that  criminal prosecution is being carried out against him.
