Yet another election fraud case involving Samo’s party.

Summery:
The Anti-Corruption Committee has released an official briefing regarding an active criminal investigation into a coordinated election bribery operation. Authorities uncovered evidence indicating that an individual representing the “Strong Armenia” political party conspired with an Armenian national residing in the Russian Federation to unlawfully manipulate voter behavior during an election.

The investigation revealed a transactional agreement between the two parties designed to exchange electoral influence for financial and professional favors. The Russia-based citizen committed to utilizing local connections within Armenia to guarantee specific voting outcomes for the political party. In return for securing these votes, the party representative promised to facilitate a loan under highly favorable conditions from a Russian bank owned by the Tashir Group, alongside negotiations for post-election political appointments and employment opportunities.

During the wiretapped call, the individuals explicitly discussed the mobilization of dozens of families and estimated they could secure between one thousand and fifteen hundred votes specifically within the Ararat region. The audio demonstrates the suspects expressing absolute confidence in their local influence, likening their ability to dictate election results to controlling the weather.
