Armenia detains 21 in expanding voter bribery investigations

Anti-Corruption Committee of Armenia has detained 21 individuals over the past two days as part of criminal investigations into alleged voter bribery and violations of restrictions on charitable activities, according to reports cited by Caliber.Az from Armenian media.

The cases involve both the giving and receiving of electoral bribes, as authorities intensify efforts to enforce election-related legislation.

The Committee confirmed that courts have ordered pre-trial detention for 13 of the suspects as a preventive measure, while investigations into the remaining detainees are ongoing.
