On February 16, 2026, Armenia's Prosecutor General's Office announced that the Anti-Corruption Court has upheld a verdict ordering the confiscation of assets totaling approximately $1.6 million from individuals A.H., G.M., and B.A. This decision follows a series of legal proceedings aimed at recovering damages caused to the state through corrupt practices.
The initial verdict, issued on February 26, 2025, mandated the recovery of AMD 629,610,000 (equivalent to $1.6 million) in favor of the Republic of Armenia. The defendants appealed the decision, but the Appellate Anti-Corruption Court rejected their appeal on March 28, 2025. A subsequent cassation appeal was also denied by the Court of Cassation on February 11, 2026, rendering the original verdict final and enforceable.
This case underscores the Armenian government's commitment to combating corruption and recovering state assets obtained through illicit means. The successful enforcement of the court's decision serves as a deterrent to corrupt practices and reinforces the rule of law within the country.
The outcome of this case may set a precedent for similar legal actions aimed at asset recovery in corruption cases. It also highlights the effectiveness of Armenia's judicial system in addressing complex financial crimes and holding individuals accountable for their actions.
