The citizen rejected the offer. Additionally, K.Kh. had also offered a bribe to A.V.'s two daughters. One of them agreed to the offer and received a bribe of AMD 30,000.

By the judgment of the Court of First Instance of Yerevan dated July 2, 2021, detention was chosen as a measure of restraint against him.

By the decision of the Anti-Corruption Court dated March 6, 2024, combined alternative measures of restraint were applied to the defendant K.Kh., including house arrest for 2 months, a bail of AMD 1 million, and a ban on absence.

An appeal was filed by the Prosecutor General's Office against the non-application of the conditional sentence for K.Kh., but it was rejected by the decision of the Anti-Corruption Court of Appeals dated July 15, 2024.

A cassation appeal was then submitted by the Prosecutor General of the RA against the aforementioned decision of the Court of Appeals, which was granted.
