Izvestia · 12:52 AM — Former Armenian President Robert Kocharyan, his son, and four other individuals have been detained, according to the Anti-Corruption Committee of Armenia. The committee alleges that Kocharyan, as the leader of the opposition bloc "Armenia," misused his official position to illegally appropriate state property under various pretexts, acquiring valuable assets at below market prices. To conceal the true ownership and criminal origins of these assets, they were registered under affiliated companies, which were then used for construction, sale, transfer to third parties, and also for transferring shares in ownership companies, including through gifting. The Investigative Committee has stated that searches were conducted at two companies linked to the former president's family, specifically a fitness club and an entertainment center. The previous day, Kocharyan's son, Levon, accused Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of being a liar and a traitor, to which Pashinyan responded by threatening to confiscate property from Kocharyan's family.
