The anti-corruption court satisfied the prosecutor's claim for the seizure of almost 77 million drams from the former mayor of Yerevan, Gagik Beglaryan, in favor of the city community.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on April 17, 2025, it became known that the materials of the case against Gagik Beglaryan were submitted to the court, who was charged with the illegal acquisition of 27 real estate properties during his tenure as mayor of Yerevan and head of one of the city districts. On June 5, Beglaryan was arrested.

The anti-corruption court of Armenia fully satisfied the prosecutor's claim for the recovery of 76.8 million drams (almost 210 thousand dollars) from the former mayor of Yerevan, Gagik Beglaryan, reported "News-Armenia" on July 13.

The prosecutor filed a claim against Beglaryan in September of last year. At that time, the court imposed a lien on his property up to the amount of the claims. The basis for the claim was the circumstances established during the investigation of one of the criminal cases initiated against the former mayor of Yerevan.

The funds will be recovered from Beglaryan in favor of the city community after the decision comes into legal force.

Recall that from 2012 to 2016, Gagik Beglaryan was the Minister of Transport of Armenia. In March 2020, he was declared wanted in a criminal case regarding the embezzlement of state property. In May 2021, Beglaryan was arrested at Yerevan's Zvartnots airport, where he arrived on a flight from Moscow, but was released on bail the next day.
