The executive body makes amendments to the Law on Anti-Corruption Committee in order to ensure the normal activity of the RA Anti-Corruption Committee.
According to the RA Deputy Minister of Justice Yeranuhi Tumanyants, in order to ensure the process of recovery of the damages caused to the state and society as a result of crime, including the return of money obtained through criminal means in a short period of time as well as to ensure the proper execution of the investigative action related to the seizure of property, the draft proposes to create a legal basis for the Anti-Corruption Committee to have a deposit account in the future.
It is proposed to stop the activity of the Tender Committee formed to select the first staff of the Anti-Corruption Committee after filling 60% of the vacant positions as a result of filling the subdivision of the Committee performing operative-investigative functions and autonomous positions.
Technical amendments were made to the draft.
