“The Department for Confiscation of Property of Illicit Origin of the Prosecutor General’s Office initiated 157 examinations in 2025 and submitted 42 claims to court, whereof 38 currently under examination demand the confiscation of 230 real estate properties, 68 movable properties, and participations in 76 legal entities in favor of the Republic of Armenia. The monetary claims in these 38 claims amount to AMD 31 billion 540 million, while the total value of the claims is AMD 35 billion 993 million”, Prosecutor General of the RA Anna Vardapetyan stated today at the National Assembly.  

Let us recall that Prosecutor General Anna Vardapetyan, in accordance with the constitutional law “Rules of Procedure of the National Assembly,” today presented to the Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs of the National Assembly of the RA the report on the activities of the Prosecutor’s Office of the RA for 2025, which was submitted to the National Assembly on March 31, 2026 and published on the official website of the Prosecutor’s Office.

In 2025, one settlement agreement was concluded, as a result whereof property of illicit origin in the amount of AMD 87 million 622 thousand is subject to confiscation in favor of the Republic of Armenia (AMD 68 million 811 thousand of the AMD 87 million 622 thousand have already been confiscated).

Let us recall that from the date of establishment of the Department for Confiscation of Property of Illicit Origin of the Prosecutor General’s Office (September 3, 2020) to December 31, 2025, a total of 758 examinations were initiated.

According to Anna Vardapetyan, as of March 1, 2026, the total number of claims under examination in the courts is 166, with an overall claim value of AMD 612 billion 592 million 172 thousand. Through these claims, the Prosecutor’s Office demands the confiscation of 1,568 real estate properties, 356 movable properties and participations in 467 legal entities in favor of the Republic of Armenia. The monetary claim amounts to AMD 530 billion 697 million 870 thousand. This figure shows an upward trend, due to the fact that the market value of all properties has not yet been determined, and the value of participations in legal entities is also not known.

Summarizing the work of the Department for 2020–2025, I would note that within the framework of the authority to confiscate property of illicit origin, on the basis of 1 judgment that has entered into legal force and 9 settlement agreements, at this moment the following have been confiscated in favor of the Republic of Armenia: 9 real estate properties, with an average market value of AMD 4 billion 411 million 112 thousand 500, 2 movable properties, with an average market value of AMD 26 million 100 thousand and AMD 1 billion 13 million 281 thousand in monetary funds. Thus, solely within the authority of the Prosecutor’s Office to confiscate property of illicit origin, property and funds worth AMD 5 billion 450 million 494 thousand 148 have been confiscated in favor of the Republic of Armenia, which is equivalent to approximately USD 14 million 464 thousand.
