BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 18. The arrest period
has been extended for Ruben Vardanyan, who held the“position” of
the so-called“state minister” of the separatist Regime in
Azerbaijan's Karabakh, Trend reports.
The decision on the ongoing criminal case initiated by the State
Security Service of Azerbaijan against Vardanyan was issued by the
Sabail District Court of Baku.
To note, significant suspicions have been revealed that
Vardanyan, who is currently a citizen of Armenia, has committed
criminal acts under Articles 214-1 (financing of terrorism), 279.3
(participation in the organization and activities of armed
formations or groups not stipulated by law), and 318.1 (illegal
crossing of the state border of Azerbaijan) of the Criminal Code of
Azerbaijan.
During the past period, several international organizations and
foreign media outlets have released extensive investigative
materials exposing money laundering mechanisms in various countries
and other actions of Ruben Vardanyan. He is recognized as the only
billionaire with Armenian citizenship who, after renouncing his
Russian citizenship and acquiring Armenian citizenship, became the
so-called "state minister" of the separatist regime in
Karabakh.
