But the attempt of contraband was disclosed, and on March 17, 2010 criminal action has been brought against him on the basis of Part 1, Article 215 of RA Criminal Code: Contraband. The Article envisages punishment in the form of a fine in the amount of 500-1000 minimal salaries, or imprisonment for the term of up to 5 years, if the contraband items are available and if they are not available the punishment will compulsory confiscation of the value.

Based on Article 70 of RA Criminal Code the punishment awarded against the defendant A. Svazyan is not applied conditionally, defining probation period of two years.

The appeal has been presented against the decision of the appeal court to M. Sargsyan, Deputy Attorney General.

The author of the appeal also mentions that ‘...contraband items are not considered crime instruments, items, taken out of turnover, thus the contraband items should be managed in accordance with the Criminal Code’.
