Armenia's Court of Cassation today decided to detain, yet again, Vachagan Ghazaryan, Serzh Sargsyan’s former security staff chief, who had been charged with “illegal enrichment” earlier this year.

Ghazaryan was released from pretrial detention after paying one billion drams ($2.079 million) bail in July.

Ghazaryan, who also served as Deputy Chief of the State Protection Service, was charged with illegal enrichment on June 27, one week after a police raid of his Yerevan apartment netted AMD 35 million, $1.1 million and €230,500 in cash.

He was taken into custody on June 25, after withdrawing $170,000 and AMD 436 million from the bank.

His financial disclosures submitted to the government did not reflect the true amount of his assets.
