ArmInfo. As a result of extensive investigative and procedural actions conducted by the RA Investigative Committee, it was established and substantiated that Z.Kh., a prisoner arrested at a penal institution, created and managed a criminal organization, including numerous individuals and clearly defining the roles of each.
Specifically, as reported by the Investigative Committee's press service, Z.Kh. created user accounts for the telecommunications app "Telegram" under various names, through which, between July 2024 and July 2025, various individuals illegally sold methamphetamine and marijuana in particularly large quantities. The preliminary investigation revealed that members of the criminal organization regularly purchased various types of drugs in particularly large quantities, which they then sold to other individuals. To conceal the criminal origin of particularly large sums obtained from drug trafficking, namely at least 24,016,284 Armenian drams, Z.Kh. provided e-wallets, bank card details, and account information to both individuals wishing to purchase drugs and members of a criminal organization. The members of the criminal organization, in turn, having received their shares of the funds, transferred the remaining amount to the bank cards provided by Z.Kh. through cash withdrawals, transfers, and currency conversions.
During the preliminary investigation, a public criminal case was opened against Z.Kh. under various articles of the Criminal Code. Three individuals were sentenced to pretrial detention, three to house arrest, and one to administrative supervision.
The criminal case against eight individuals has been sent to the supervising prosecutor with an indictment.
