Former financier of “Sevan clinic” CJSCG.B referred to HCA Vanadzor to protect his rights. G.B.’s issue turned out to have much deeper roots than imagined. The basis of the dismissal of the Chief Financial officer of “Sevan Policlinic” CJSC were the violations identified by Gegharkunik region inspections performed by Sonya Simonyan.
As it turned out in the future process of the criminal case the financial officer had not violated anything. Justice was restored from this point of view but within the same criminal case a number of valuations had been identified.
Thus, according to the working plan in the first quarter of 2013, Sevan Investigation unit of Ghegharkunik region’s Investigation Department of RA Police General Investigation Department examined the lawsuit started against “Sevan policlinic” CJSC.
A criminal proceeding was started during which several cases were examined including the aforementioned case about which investigator V. Shahbazyan made a decision to quash the case and not implement criminal prosecution based on lack of corpus delicti.
Another 2 cases of violation were discussed during the proceeding of the criminal case those were performed by “Sevan Policlinic” CJSC Executive Hasmik Ghazaryan and Chief Acocuntant of the same facility Z. Alaverdyan. Thus, on June 23, 2011 Hasmik Ghazaryan was charged with administrative penalty of 161 100 AMD under Article 169.8 of RA Code on “Administrative offenses.”
On December 26, 2012, based on RA Code on “Administrative Offenses” Article 236 Hasmik Ghazaryan was charged with 60.000 AMD. In both the first and second cases Hasmik Ghazaryan abused her authoritative powers ordering the Chief Accountant to pay the fines from “Sevan Policlinic” CSJC budget i.e. with public money.
Most impressive part of the story is that the criminal case on the mentioned aspects was also dismissed with an amnesty for the accountant and on the ground of changes of situation for the executive.
How the situation has changed and for what reasons Sevan investigation department investigator D. Shahbazyan’s made such decision remains unclear.
It will be hard to find an identical case in the Court practice when such criminal case is dismissed in pre-examination stage without a solution based on court orders. In this case, the agreement between the executive with criminal charges and the investigator is obvious.
