Officers of the State Revenue Committee under the government of Armenia visited the Civilitas Fund founded by Vartan Oskanyan on Friday and demanded documents about the fund's finances starting from May 28, News-Armenia reports.
The National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia has initiated a criminal investigation into the legalization of funds illegally acquired by Civilitas. The investigators have mentioned a sum amounting to $2 million.
The fund was created by the ex-head of the Interior Ministry of Armenia and member of the parliamentary faction of "Prosperous Armenia" (BHK), Vartan Oskanyan. He has already been questioned three times as a witness in the case. Oksanyan believes that there is a political agenda to the case.
The Civilitas fund is dealing with human rights issues, democratization and civil society.
