Ex-official of St. Petersburg Rosreestr committed suicide in the Armenian Consulate

Boris Avakian, former deputy head of the Federal Register Office for St. Petersburg, was found unconscious in the toilet of the Armenian Consulate. The doctors who arrived pronounced him dead — previously, the official committed suicide, reports TC Readovka today, September 24.

The Armenian media remind that Avakian is a former representative of the President of the Republic of Artsakh on special assignments. In Russia, he became a defendant in a criminal case on customs evasion in the amount of over 4.2 billion rubles and escaped from the courthouse the day before during the consideration of a petition for his arrest.

Prior to that, the case was suspended due to the conclusion of a contract with the Ministry of Defense to participate in the SMO, but the contract was terminated "due to evasion from departure to SMO" — this was the reason for the resumption of the case.
