The businessman's lawyer Karapetyan called the criminal case a political revenge.
The court applies illegal actions against businessman Samvel Karapetyan, which are political revenge. This was announced on January 16 by the businessman's lawyer Aram Vardevanyan.
He said that the judge intends to consider the issue of applying a preventive measure in the form of house arrest in relation to Karapetyan.
"This decision may partially have an impact, since restrictions on appeals or public statements cannot be applied to Samvel Karapetyan," the lawyer said.
He stressed that despite the "malicious intent" of the accusation, the defense has "significant objections."
Karapetyan's detention became known on June 18 last year. He was charged with calling for the seizure of power in Armenia, after which he was arrested.
On July 3, the Armenian parliament adopted in the final reading laws allowing the nationalization of the company "Electric Networks of Armenia", which belonged to Karapetyan. The opposition expressed disagreement, considering the process illegal. On July 15, the opposition political parties of the Armenian parliament appealed to the Constitutional Court (CC) demanding that the law on the nationalization of Karapetyan's Electric Grids be declared unconstitutional.
On July 23, Karapetyan defeated the Armenian government in the International Arbitration Court in the case of the nationalization of the "Electric Grids of Armenia", which belonged to him. Later, on November 6, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan linked the order of nationalization of the "Electric Grids of Armenia" with their cost.
Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) On November 17, Armenia signed a document on revoking the license of the Electric Networks of Armenia Company (ENA), which is owned by Karapetyan. Four out of five members of the commission voted for the relevant decision.
