YEREVAN, DECEMBER 6, NOYAN TAPAN. Arrest chosen as a preventive
punishment towards Gurgen Virabian, defendant on the case of murder
of Shahen Hovasapian, Head of the Investigation Department of State
Tax Service, was changed to signature on not leaving the country. As
Noyan Tapan correspondent was informed from RA Prosecutor General’s
Office, this decision was made in consideration of the defendant’s
health condition and the circumstance that his being in freedom cannot
hamper objective examination of the criminal case any longer.
At the same time, it was mentioned that the volume of the accusation
brought to G.Virabian has remained unchanged.
