ArmInfo. 35 criminal cases on violations and abuses during the execution of land sublease to telecommunication operators were instituted and accepted into production.
As previously reported, the leaders of a number of communities of the regions of the republic leased land owned by state or community property to their relatives or subordinates for a nominal rent, much lower than the market. To this end, in some cases, fictitious tenders were organized. Further, land plots were subleased at a cost that exceeded 200-300 times the aforementioned symbolic fee, due to which large profits were made from the heads of communities for personal use.
