The Anti-Corruption Committee has concluded the investigation into former Yerevan Mayor Gagik Beglaryan, who is accused of abusing his official position and laundering money.

The case, accompanied by an indictment, has been submitted to the court, as announced by Committee Chairman Artur Nahapetyan in the National Assembly, reports Pastinfo.

The investigation revealed that during his tenure as head of the Kentron district and later as mayor of Yerevan (2002–2010), Beglaryan illegally acquired 27 properties in Yerevan and other locations, causing damage to the state and community amounting to 2.327 billion drams. The properties were allegedly legalized through sales, donations, or formal auctions.

Between 2004 and 2017, Beglaryan is reported to have laundered assets obtained through criminal means. In 2022, the prosecutor overseeing the case initiated public criminal prosecution against Beglaryan for 27 instances of property misappropriation. During the investigation, approximately 210 million drams were recovered, and the 27 properties in question were seized to cover the damages.
