Deputies of the Legislative Assembly of Sverdlovsk region decided to terminate the powers of Armen Karapetyan ahead of schedule, JustMedia correspondent reports.. en.

Viktor Yakimov, deputy chairman of the regional parliament, recalled that the deputy did not specify information about the property of his children in the declaration, and also paid his wife, who was his assistant, a salary when she was abroad. The prosecutor's office offered to return these 64 thousand rubles, but the regional parliamentarian did not do this.

"Taking into account the earlier decision of the credentials committee, these violations are grounds for taking a decision on termination of the authority of Armen Karapetyan," Yakimov said..

For the decision to deprive Karapetyan of the mandate, the majority of deputies voted, against one person. Karapetyan himself was not present at the discussion of the issue, but he had previously stated that if the decision was not in his favor, he was ready to appeal against him.

Recall that the idea of ??depriving the deputy of authority in the regional parliament came from the prosecutor's office. The reason was inaccuracies in the declaration of the regional parliamentarian for 2016. According to the department, he did not provide information about the property of his children. They did not fit in the previous years either. On April 3, the deputies did not take a decision on Karapetyan.

The court session on the consideration of the lawsuit to the Legislative Assembly will be held on June 1. In total the department demands to deprive of mandates of 10 deputies who found violations in the declarations. In addition to Karapetyan, the prosecutor's office has Albert Abzalov, Anatoly Marchevsky, Oleg Korchagin, Valery Saveliev, Vladimir Ilyin and Alexei Korobeinikov, eser Andrei Zhukovsky, communist Alexander Ivachev and liberal-democrat Pavel Myakishev.
