The defendants of Mataghis case acquitted

On 29 May 2013 Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal of the Military Prosecutor’s Office against the decision of the Appeals Court which had earlier acquitted Razmik Sargsyan, Musa Seroyan and Arayik Chalyan. They were accused of the famous case of Mataghis involving death of people. The Court considered the arguments of the prosecutor's office unreasonable and insufficient.

Razmik Sargsyan, Musa Serobyan and Ara Zalyan were accused on the grounds of an offense under 1, 6 and 14 of Part 2 of Art. 112 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia, "intentional infliction of serious bodily injury of two or more persons causing death by negligence."

To note that on March 26 the Court of Appeals acquitted the three convicts who had served in jail 9 years.

Those who killed two servicemen have not been identified yet, as well as those who helped them to avoid responsibility and contributed to unlawful charges against the three men.
