In December 2024, our office was approached by the defendant Sh.S., seeking legal representation in a criminal case being investigated by the Anti-Corruption Committee of the Republic of Armenia.
Before contacting our office, Sh.S. had been charged with a serious crime under Article 435, Part 2, Clauses 1 and 3 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia, namely, receiving a bribe for an unlawful act by a group of officials.

We express our gratitude to Judge Ani Martirosyan of the Anti-Corruption Court of Appeals for delivering a fair judicial act.
