As a result of operative-search measures carried out on the basis of operational data obtained from the Main Directorate of Counterintelligence of the RA National Security Service and interaction with employees of the RA Investigative Committee, another case of organizing illegal migration was detected.

In particular, it was established that A.H. by prior agreement with an as yet unidentified person, as part of a group, for mercenary motives for 22.000 USD, during 2024-2025 organized the illegal migration of V.Q., namely: in order to obtain the proper permission to enter and stay in the "Schengen Agreement Countries" for the purpose of implementation under as yet unclear circumstances, by prior agreement with another person, as part of a group, produced forged documents confirming facts of legal significance and granting the right that the latter was an employee of DANI GROUP LLC and had a bank account in Armeconombank OJSC, and transferred them to V.Q., who presented them, among other documents, to the Embassy of the Hellenic Republic, on the basis of which the latter was issued an entry visa for the "Schengen Agreement Countries" No. 010618353, and on December 25, 2024, using the aforementioned false permit, without the required documents and proper permission, crossed the state border of the Republic of Armenia and left the Republic of Armenia with the purpose of using it later to enter the United States.

Based on the report submitted by the National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia on the apparent crime and the attached materials confirming the relevant fact, a criminal proceeding was initiated in the RA Investigative Committee, within the framework of which investigative and other procedural actions were carried out.

Based on the factual data obtained, the supervising prosecutor, upon the investigator's request, made a decision to initiate public criminal prosecution against A.H. under the relevant article of the RA Criminal Code, and house arrest, a bail of 2.000.000 AMD, and a ban on absence were applied to the latter as a measure of restraint.

The preliminary investigation of the criminal proceeding continues in the Main Directorate of the RA Investigative Committee for the investigation of crimes against the state, the foundations of the constitutional order and public security. The necessary investigative actions and operative-search measures are being carried out to clarify all the circumstances of the case, identify the full circle of persons involved in the criminal group, and apply criminal-legal measures against them.

The RA National Security Service urges the RA citizens to refrain from participating in illegal migration processes when leaving for a foreign country and returning from a foreign country, to exclude the use of forged documents and the provision of large sums of money to persons organizing the aforementioned processes illegally.

Note: anyone charged with a crime is considered innocent as long as his/her guilt is not proven in a manner prescribed by the Code of Criminal Procedure of RA - by the court decision entered into legal force.
