On March 28, 2025, the respondents filed an appeal against the verdict, which was rejected by the decision of the Appellate Anti-Corruption Court.

 

The respondents filed a cassation appeal against the decision of the Appellate Anti-Corruption Court, however, by the decision of the Court of Cassation of the Republic of Armenia dated February 11, 2026, the appeal was refused admission to proceedings.
