"According to the exclusive information of "Zhoghovurd" daily, Vardan Harutyunyan, former chairman of SRC, under house arrest, was released on bail of 300 million drams. Administrative control and the ban on absenteeism were chosen as a preventive measure against the latter. Vardan Harutyunyan was detained on August 8, 2025, and in October the detention was extended for one month.
On November 7, it became known that he was transferred from prison to his house and is under house arrest. As a result, he was released from house arrest. Vardan Harutyunyan is accused of illegal participation in business activities, anti-competitive activities and money laundering, while an investigation into the circumstances underlying the accusation was already conducted seven years ago and was denied.
In particular, the criminal case refers to the "Norfolk Consulting" company, but in 2018, an investigation was conducted in the criminal case related to this company, and the proceedings were terminated. Vardan Harutyunyan's defense team announced that the complaint addressed to the European Court of Human Rights regarding the apparently disproportionate and illegal use of detention has already been processed and will be submitted to the European Court in the next few days. And in fact, all this was made up, because he is Samvel Karapetyan's friend, and politically it is already dangerous."
