Legislative Project Against 'Thieves in Law' is Being Prepared

The newspaper 'J hukovurd' writes: 'The legislative project developed by the Ministry of Justice against 'thieves in law' is being reviewed, and its final fate is still unknown. The 'J hukovurd' newspaper previously reported that the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Armenia will present a legislative project to amend the Criminal Code, which will add a separate criminal composition related to elements with a criminal culture and behavior. The Minister of Justice, Rustam Badasyan, also stated that, as a minister, he places great importance on the fight against criminal elements.

And, just yesterday, in an interview with 'J hukovurd', the minister mentioned regarding this project: 'It has been developed, submitted to the Government of Armenia, then returned, and we have sent it back again.'
