The nearly $20,000,000 that former President Serzh Sargsyan’s brother Alexander Sargsyan donated to the state will be used for acquiring armaments for the military.
The National Security Service has disclosed details from the criminal case around Sargsyan in a response to an inquiry from RFE/RL’s Armenian service Azatutyun.
According to the report, Alexander Sargsyan has paid more than 3 billion drams in taxes as result of tax inspections amid the investigation, and has also voluntarily donated 19,600,000 dollars with the purpose of buying weaponry for the armed forces.
Alexander Sargsyan, a former lawmaker, is charged with fraud. He has been confined to the country limits with a signature bond, the National Security Service told Azatutyun.
According to the same source, Alexander Sargsyan’s other assets are frozen. These include nearly 4 million dollars.
