Investigation is conducted in Shirak Regional Investigative Department of the RA Investigative Committee to find out all circumstances of swindling in particularly large amount committed by the former head of Lanjik community.

Through materials prepared in Ani Police Division data were obtained on the allegation that the former head of Lanjik community of Shirak province holding the mentioned position from 2013 to 2017 withdrew 4.200.000 AMD, pursuant to initial data, from the community budget in numerous people’s names to give it to socially vulnerable families, lonely elders, one parent children and large families. However, he did not give it to the mentioned people swindling it.
