Former police chief's trial adjourned
A court in Yerevan today adjourned the trial in the case of Armenia's former Road Police Chief Margar Ohanyan.
The Court of General Jurisdiction of Kentron and Nork-Marash administrative districts had to adjourn the sitting as Ohanyan's Defense Attorney Mkrtich Vasakyan did not turn up in court.
The next sitting is set for May 30.
Margar Ohanyan, who was detained in August, 2011, is accused of abusing power while in office and of large-scale embezzlement of state funds. Particularly, he is charged with misappropriation of more than 150 tons of fuel (designated for traffic police vehicles) and costing $571,000 in damage to the state.
