The investigation into the trafficking case involving a helpless victim has been completed.

The preliminary investigation of the criminal proceedings initiated in connection with the incident of trafficking a helpless person by a person in the Lori Marz Investigation Department of the RA Investigative Committee has been completed. During the preliminary investigation, it was found that GH, being aware of L.Sh's helpless state, that is, having problems related to mental health, continuously exploited him for a long time, during the last 10 years. In particular, GH took L.S. out of the latter's apartment and placed him in an adjoining building with worse living conditions, providing minimal living conditions, and converted and used the same apartment as a home and a storage room for his personal belongings, putting a separate lock on the entrance and keeping the key with him. In addition, GH made L.Sh work for free in cultivating the land and garden near his house, taking care of the chickens kept in the victim's apartment, took from him the pension and disability allowance provided by the relevant state support programs, and the victim had to engage in begging and collect garbage in order to heat the residence in order to secure his livelihood. A public criminal prosecution was initiated against G.H. under Article 189, Part 1 of the Criminal Code (trafficking or exploitation of a child or a helpless person). The criminal proceedings were sent with the indictment to the supervising prosecutor, with a request to confirm it and send it to the court for examination on the merits.
