  Armenia's former traffic police case to be filed to court December 6, 2011 - 10:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The criminal case of Armenia’s former chief of traffic police Margar Ohanyan will be filed to the court in the coming days, said an official in charge of the investigation. Margar Ohanyan was detained for alleged appropriation of petrol prescribed to the police. He is accused under article 308.2 and article 179.2.1 of Armenian Criminal Code (power abuse and embezzlement of large scale public property). According to Haykakan Zhamanak (Armenian Time) newspaper, former employees of traffic police Stepan Kharakhanyan, Ara Levonyan and Samvel Makhmuryan are accused similar crimes. Ohanyan’s lawyer said his client transferred AMD 57 million to the state budget, which, however, "does not mean he admitted his guilt." “This is a matter of honor, the incident occurred in an agency he once headed,” the lawyer said.
