Earlier it was reported that by order of the Prosecutor's Office of Lori region, on the basis of materials prepared by cases initiated on grounds of abuse in the process of leasing real estate that is state and public property and on the basis of evidence obtained during the preliminary investigation of the criminal case under investigation in the Investigative Department of Lori Region of the RA IC a charge was brought against the head of the Jrashen community of Lori region.

 

In the course of further preliminary investigation of the criminal case, on August 12, 2021, the charge brought against the head of the community V.U. was changed and the latter was charged with a new charge on the basis of Part 2 of Art. 308 of the Criminal Code of the RA for the fact that he, due to his position, having learned about the intention of the telecom operator to install and operate an antenna station on the territory of a public land plot, proceeding from motives to provide additional income to his family, violating the requirements of point 231 of Resolution No. 286 of the RA Government of 12.04.2001 , without placing an advertisement for the sale of a land plot, organized a public auction in violation of the requirements of the legislation on public auction, according to which people affiliated with the auctioneer cannot participate in the auction.

 

Thus, the head of the community held an auction for the alienation of the community's land plot, during which his son was recognized as the winner, and on October 2, 2006, a 0.1 hectare land plot belonging to Jrashen rural community was sold at an auction for 76.590 AMD. On October 7 of the same year, a contract for the sale and purchase of a land plot was signed with the latter, according to which the said land plot was transferred to his son on the basis of ownership. After that, the latter leased the same land plot to a mobile operator for a monthly rent of 100.000 AMD until June 30, 2021. The total rental income amounted to 17.259.996 AMD, as a result of which the community lost the opportunity to receive income in the indicated amount.

 

Due to selfish motives V.U. further did not take measures to stop the inappropriate use of the land plot and bring it in line with the requirements of land legislation.

 

To restore the damage caused to the community by the mentioned criminal case, the preliminary investigation body made a decision on the attaching arrest on 5 land plots, and the corresponding letters were addressed to organizations that entered into lease agreements for the installation of antennas on the above land plot in order to suspend the payment of rent until the final process of the criminal case.

 

The preliminary investigation of the criminal case has been completed. On August 18, 2021 the prosecutor made a decision on approving the indictment and forwarding the indictment together with the criminal case to the Court of General Jurisdiction of Lori region to consider the case on the merits.
