Former, current Yerevan Municipality officials detained
The former secretary of the Yerevan Municipality staff, Seyran Mejlumyan, and the acting head of the Architecture and Urban Planning Department, David Dallakyan, have been detained as part of a criminal probe carried out by the Anti-Corruption Committee, its spokeswoman Marina Ohanjanyan confirmed to Panorama.am on Tuesday.
She promised to provide details later.
Mejlumyan stepped down as staff secretary on March 17 after the resignation of Yerevan Mayor Hrachya Sargsyan.
Earlier on 12 March, Gevorg Simonyan, a former deputy health minister currently serving as vice-mayor of Yerevan, was arrested on charges stemming from what Armenia's law enforcement authorities called misuse of government funds provided for the fight against Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021.
