Justice Index – Episode 2
The lawyers of LSA present the legislative and practical issues of the Republic of Armenia relating to extradition, in particular the apparent violations of the principle of reciprocity in connection with extradition, as well as the systemic problem of the mechanical application of detention as a preventive measure in extradition cases.
Our client, unjustly accused of a particularly serious crime, has been released from prolonged detention
In the criminal proceedings that have been under investigation for a long period of time by the Main Department for the Investigation of Economic Crimes and Smuggling of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Armenia, public criminal prosecution was initiated in July 2025 against R.N., a client of our firm’s attorney Andranik Mnatsakanyan, under Article 296, Part 3, Point 3 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia, for the alleged commission of a particularly serious crime (money laundering on an especially large scale). In addition, detention was applied to him as a preventive measure.

In civil case No. ED/57083/02/21, examined by the Court of General Jurisdiction of First Instance of Yerevan, the court of first instance had upheld the claim filed against our client and recognized the claimant as an heir who had accepted the inheritance on the basis of factual possession, thereby declaring invalid the state registration of ¾ of our client A.B.’s ownership right. The court had also dismissed our counterclaim seeking the eviction of the unlawful possessor(s) of the apartment.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions Explained
The common property between the participants of shared property can be divided by agreement between the shareholders on the means and conditions for separating the share, or in the absence of an agreement - by court order. The separating owner can demand that the other participants of the shared property pay the value of his share. Instead of separating the participant's share in shared ownership in-kind, the other owners can pay compensation to that participant with the consent of that participant. In case of the obvious inexpediency of dividing the common property or separating a share from it, the court may rule on selling the property at public auction and subsequently distributing the proceeds among the participants of common ownership in proportion to their shares. The joint property can be divided between co-owners by their agreement, or in the absence of an agreement - by court order.
The property acquired by the spouses during a marriage is their joint property unless otherwise provided by law or by an agreement signed between them. The property of each spouse before marriage, as well as the property received by one of the spouses as a gift or inheritance during the marriage, is their property. The property of each spouse may be recognized as their joint property if it is found that investments were made during the marriage from the common property of the spouses or the personal property of the other spouse, which significantly increased the value of that property (major repairs, reconstruction, re-equipment, etc.) unless otherwise provided by an agreement signed between the spouses. The obligations of one of the spouses may be subject to seizure of the property owned by them, as well as his/her share in the common property of the spouses. In case of divorce, only joint property is subject to division between the spouses.
An acquitted defendant has the right to demand compensation for damage caused by illegal criminal prosecution, application of coercive measures, conviction, as well as other illegal restrictions on rights or freedoms. As compensation, the acquitted defendant has the right to receive: 1. The salary, pension, allowance, or other income he was deprived of. 2. The damage caused by seizure, arrest, confiscation, or other disposal of property. 3. The expenses incurred as a result of being in custody. 4. The fee paid to a lawyer. 5. The paid procedural costs. At the request of the acquitted defendant, the body that initiated the criminal prosecution must present public apologies to him/her. Non-pecuniary damage is also subject to compensation, regardless of the pecuniary damage subject to compensation and regardless of the guilt of an official in causing the damage.
The rights of both the employer and the employee are protected in the Republic of Armenia. If you have been notified of dismissal from work on the employer’s initiative, first demand an individual act on termination of the employment relationship. The employment relationship is not considered terminated until the individual act on your dismissal is provided to you in the prescribed manner. Labor legislation and other normative legal acts regulating labor relations establish a special procedure for terminating employment relations, non-compliance with which or violations committed by the employer during the process may serve as grounds for declaring the termination of the employment relationship illegal. To protect your labor rights in such situations, consult with a labor relations lawyer. Remember, the legislation establishes deadlines for administrative and judicial protection of labor rights, failure to meet them without a valid reason may deprive you of the opportunity to protect your rights.
The common property between participants of joint ownership is divided or one's share is separated from it after determining each participant's share in the right to the common property. When dividing the common property and separating a share from it, the shares of the participants in joint ownership are considered equal, unless otherwise provided by law or agreement of the participants. The joint property between co-owners can be divided by their agreement, or in the absence of an agreement - by court order.
Fraud is the theft of someone's property by deception or abuse of trust. Nowadays, cases of fraud using computer technologies are particularly widespread in the world. In such situations, it is necessary to immediately start preserving the communication carried out through means of contact with the offender and transfer them to electronic media. If the transactions offered by the offender seem suspicious, it is necessary to refrain from transferring any data to them, including photos of a bank card or providing bank account details. If the offender has managed to steal money, it is necessary to contact law enforcement agencies as soon as possible, providing them with all means of contact with the offender and the entire content of the communication.
