"Zhoghovurd" daily writes: "Yesterday, ArmLur.am reported that the ex-wife of businessman and politician Tigran Arzakantsyan, Natalya Rotenberg, filed a complaint with the law enforcement authorities, claiming that she was regularly abused by Tigran Arzakantsyan during their marriage. In a conversation with ArmLur.am, Tigran Arzakantsyan denied the information about any procedure by the law enforcement officers, noting that the application submitted to the Zeytun Police Department was not processed due to the lack of evidence and the subject, according to its closed. Moreover, he urged not to get involved in his family matters. However, sources close to the law enforcement system of "Zhoghovurd" daily report that in reality the situation took a completely different course. According to our information, on the basis of the submitted report, the RA Investigative Committee initiated criminal proceedings a few days ago and started the investigation of the circumstances.
In other words, the law enforcement officers did not ignore the submitted report, on the contrary, they considered it a sufficient basis to start a preliminary investigation. According to the sources of "Zhoghovurd" daily, Tigran Arzakantsyan should be invited to an investigative body in the near future to provide clarifications. The investigation should find out whether the allegations of violence presented by the ex-wife are true, or whether Rotenberg wants something from the ex-husband in that way. However, according to "Zhoghovurd" sources, this process of clarification may take some time, because Arzakantsyan is currently outside Armenia.
Let's note that both Tigran Arzakantsyan and Natalya Rotenberg are known to the public, which is why the events developing around them have become a subject of public interest. But at the same time the state bodies. The RA Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Investigative Committee refuse to publish any details about this case, referring to the requirements of personal data protection and the confidentiality of the preliminary investigation. It should be noted that the published information is based on the statements of the parties and the data reported by the sources of the "Zhoghovurd" daily. The guilt of any person in the scope of the case has not been confirmed, and the presumption of innocence is valid until the presence of a legal act of the court that has come into force. Maybe they are trying to silence politician Tigran Arzakantsyan with a new scandal and proceedings?
