Spartak Ghukasyan, son of Vardan Ghukasyan, Mayor of Gyumri city in Armenia, was detained on the morning of September 11. Modern.az reports, citing Armenian media, that this was stated by the Press Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The mayor's son was detained based on the investigator's decision.
In turn, the Investigative Committee of Armenia announced the initiation of public criminal prosecution against an individual under Article 258, Part 1, Point 4 of the Criminal Code.
Spartak Ghukasyan was detained in the morning at the entrance of the kindergarten where he picked up his one-and-a-half-year-old child. Ghukasyan's second child was also in the car.
It is believed that this is a method of pressuring his father, the opposition mayor.
It is also assumed that this is directly related to Spartak Ghukasyan's participation in the court hearing on the case of Archbishop Mikael Ajapahyan, head of the Shirak Diocese.
