Samvel Aleksanyan's son-in-law to be harassed, or Jhangiryan revenges the prosecutor?

By an amazing coincidence, as soon as Samvel Aleksanyan is away, Koryun Nahapetyan is being suppresses in NA. Aleksanian has long passed the ranks of "exelenc pupils" of parliament. He appears in the National Assembly in good faith, votes by pressing a button, and there has not been a case that he left the room without pressing a button.

So it was during the regular fourt-day session. On Monday, the oligarch MP was in Parliament. On Tuesday, he was not there, they siad that he left Dubai to relax for at least two days. The next day Koryun Nahapetyan was "attacked." This time the striker was not the assistant of general, and the general himself, former military prosecutor Gagik Jhangiryan.

The occasion was the bill on amendments and additions to the law "On the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing." In this regard some amendments will also be in the Penal Code. The former military prosecutor, feeling like a fish in water, found some vulnerable points, and began his attack.

The keynote speaker, however, was the chairman of the Central Bank, but the comments were sent to the head of Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs of the Armenian parliament Koryun Nahapetyan.

"The next task is to accompany the crime. Now you say that for this article on money laundering, all criminal offenses are accompanying. This means that the usual pickpocket or a bully can be accused of money laundering. Unfortunately, our case law is precisely that way. If you want to provide statistics with such ridiculous methods, it does not do you honor, it's a shame.

After his speech, the former prosecutor victoriously left the meeting room. When journalists tried to get clarification on some professional nuances, he hurried away, in all probability, presenting himself already in place of Prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepian.

In contrast to smug Jhangirian, Koryun Nahapetyan himself gave some explanation.

"My colleague is concerned that the recovery of the property as a means of criminal law remains as a kind of property confiscation. However, the concept of confiscation of property has a completely different content, recovery of property in criminal law can be used not only in relation to condemn, but also towards third parties. Consequently, the recovery of the property must be overlooking the confiscation of property and means of criminal law. I think that the observations of Mr. Jhangiryan, as a former prosecutor, are basically unfair and unfounded."
