The charges against Samvel Karapetyan, founder of the “Tashir” Group of Companies, have been modified, the Spokesperson for the Investigative Committee of Armenia, Kima Avdalyan, told Armenpress.

“The charges have been changed to include additional counts under Article 296, Part 3, Clauses 2 and 3 of the Criminal Code of Armenia — money laundering in especially large amounts using official powers or influence derived from them,” Avdalyan said.

Karapetyan was arrested on June 18. He was initially charged with making public calls for the usurpation of power and overthrow of the constitutional order. The businessman denies all charges brought against him.
