25/06/2025

Under one of the proceedings investigated at the Investigative Committee under the supervision of the Department for Combatting Economic Crimes of the Prosecutor General’s Office it was found out that M.Gh. being the director and founder of an LL Company engaged in the import and sale of goods, food production, wholesale and retail sale of food products, for the purpose of evading payment of taxes in especially large amounts (AMD 400 million) involved false data in the calculations submitted to the tax authority.

 

In particular, M.Gh., violating the requirements of part 22 of the Tax Code and RA Law “On Profit Tax” (in the edition in force at the time of formation of legal relations), from 2013-2016, without invoices regarding the transactions made, transferred to the account of another company about 2 billion, as a result whereof involved false data into the annual reports of 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 submitted to the tax authority and reduced taxable profit in order to pay less profit tax (AMD 400 million).

 

Taking into consideration the fact that there are sufficient facts proving the commission of the crime on June 23, 2024, the supervising prosecutor, on its own initiative, initiated a public criminal prosecution against M.Gh. under part 2 of article 205 of the Criminal Code adopted on 18.04.2003 (maliciously evading payment of taxes on a particularly large-scale).

  

During the preliminary investigation stage M. Gh. completely restored the damage caused to the state in the amount of AMD 400 million.

 

On June 23, 2025, the prosecutor, on its own initiative, decided to terminate the public criminal prosecution against M.Gh. on a non-acquittal ground.
