Hearing in the criminal case of the ex-respondent began

The Moscow City Court began output meetings in the Lefortovo pre -trial detention center in the case of the former Senator Levon Chakhmmayan. The newspaper "Kommersant" writes about this on Friday.

In addition to the former senator, in an attempt to fraudulently abduct from the head of the board of directors of Transaero Airlines Alexander Pleshakov, 300 thousand dollars are accused by the former assistant to the auditor of the Accounts Chamber Armen Hovhanesyan and chief accountant of the Association of Russian-Armenian business cooperation Igor Arushanov.

The prosecution asks Levon Chakhmovyan to be sentenced to 9.5 years in prison, Armen Hopances to 8 years old, and Igor Aruushanov to 7 years in prison. The defendants deny their guilt.

The lawsuit begun in the fall of last year was originally held closed, and in the pre -trial detention center he was transferred at the request of the state prosecutor. The prosecutor suspected that Chakhmmayan intends to break the meetings, simulating a deterioration in well -being and demanding to call a doctor.

The Prosecutor General’s Office claims that the Chakhmokhan created an organized criminal group in order to deceive the management of Transaero. The former senator allegedly wanted to receive 1.5 million dollars of remuneration for a positive solution to the issue of underpaying by the company of 300 million dollars of customs payments. "
