Prosecutors seek seizure of former Stepanavan mayor's assets

The Armenian Prosecutor General's Office seeks to confiscate expensive property and other assets of former Stepanavan Mayor Sargis Gharakeshishyan.

Prosecutors have asked the Anti-Corruption Court to allow the forfeiture of a house in Yerevan, four properties in Stepanavan, four vehicles, shares in a company, two deposits worth 7 million drams and 215.5 million drams from the ex-mayor and his associates, accusing him of illicit enrichment.

Gharakeshishyan served as Stepanavan mayor from 2004 to 2012.
