The case against former Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan has been transferred from a general jurisdiction court to the Anti-Corruption Court, according to Armenia’s Judicial Department, Radar Armenia reports.
Sargsyan is charged with money laundering.
According to the indictment, Sargsyan allegedly obtained an illegal income of AMD 99,414,079 (approximately $255,000) through criminal activities. He then used this money to purchase real estate, thereby concealing its illicit origin and giving it the appearance of legitimacy—actions qualifying as money laundering.
