Resort Director Charged with Military Draft Fraud

During the preliminary investigation of a criminal proceeding being examined in the General Military Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the RA, it was revealed that in 2020, S.A. approached the director of a resort area, S.P., to exempt his wife's brother from mobilization.

Specifically, during martial law, S.P. offered to exempt A.M. from mobilization in exchange for 1,000 USD, but S.A. did not agree to the offer.

Additionally, S.P., during a conversation with Sh.M., learned that his acquaintance G.G., residing abroad, had concerns about receiving his legally due military booklet without appearing in person. Again, through deception, with the intent to commit embezzlement and incite bribery, during martial law, S.P. offered to arrange for the provision of the military booklet in exchange for 1,800 USD. However, G.G. did not carry out any illegal actions to obtain the military booklet.

Public criminal prosecution has been initiated against S.P. under Article 44-255, Part 1 and Part 2, Point 3 (attempted fraud), and Article 46-44-436, Part 1 (inciting attempted bribery) (2 episodes) of the Criminal Code.

The criminal case, along with the indictment, has been sent to the supervising prosecutor with a motion to confirm it and send it to court for substantive examination.
