Armenia’s former Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan, who is currently under arrest, has been taken to Izmirlian Medical Center in Yerevan, the secretary said at a court hearing in his trial on Thursday.
"In the absence of the defendant, the hearing must be postponed, but some motions have been filed by the defense lawyers, which can be heard in his absence," said presiding judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan.
In late June, the court denied a defense motion to release the former official on bail.
Aghvan Hovsepyan was arrested in September 2021 on charges of bribery, money laundering and illegal entrepreneurial activity denied by him.
Hovsepyan also ran the Investigative Committee from 2014 to 2018.
