The son-in-law of the leader of "Prosperous Armenia" Gagik Tsarukyan, Argam Abramyan, did not admit guilt in the case of a contract murder, his lawyer reported.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", law enforcement officers detained former parliament deputy Argam Abramyan - the son of ex-Prime Minister Ovik Abramyan and the son-in-law of the leader of "Prosperous Armenia" Gagik Tsarukyan. Abramyan is suspected of organizing a murder. On August 9, he was arrested for two months.

Argam Abramyan does not admit guilt in organizing the murder and considers the accusation unfounded, said Abramyan's lawyer Emin Khachatryan on August 10 to "News of Armenia".

According to the lawyer, Abramyan "has nothing to do with the charges brought against him." At the same time, he refused to answer the question of whether the accusation could be related to the ongoing processes against Gagik Tsarukyan. "Let me not comment, you understand everything perfectly yourself," Khachatryan said.

The lawyer also noted that Abramyan has not made any statements regarding the political context of the case. "He said that he considers this accusation extremely unfounded and absurd, so he does not even want to comment," the lawyer added.

Recall that on July 7, the court arrested billionaire Gagik Tsarukyan for two months, accused of fraud and tax evasion. The defense stated that there are documents proving that Tsarukyan is a victim in this case, and appealed his arrest. On July 24, law enforcement officers detained Arman Davtyan, the director of the "Ararat" plant owned by Tsarukyan, on charges of tax evasion. Tsarukyan was suspected of tax evasion by the "Ararat" brandy factory. The defense called the case absurd, as Tsarukyan transferred all his businesses to management back in 2003 when he was elected to the National Assembly. On August 6, new charges were brought against Tsarukyan under articles on extortion and legalization of property obtained by criminal means. Two managers of Tsarukyan's enterprises have been arrested for two months.
