Armenia’s Investigative Committee said it had terminated criminal proceedings against a number of persons accused of committing abuses in the process of issuing permits for exploitation of Amulsar gold-bearing deposit by Lydian Armenia company.
“The decision to terminate the proceedings was made after a string of interviews, seizure and analysis of documents from public and private organizations and a comprehensive examination conducted by the experts of Elars and T.C. companies. All necessary and possible investigative and procedural actions were taken during the investigation, but no factual data was obtained to prove that criminal actions had been committed while preparing the environmental impact assessment of the Amulsar mine. In this connection, on December 21 on the basis of absence of corpus delicti a decision was made to terminate the proceedings," Investigative Committee says in its press release.
