Movsisyan in the case currently under investigation by the garrison investigative department.

He has been charged under Article 359, Part 3 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia, for violating the regulatory rules regarding relationships among servicemen in the absence of a subordinate relationship, which resulted in serious consequences due to negligence.
