Ruben Markaryan, the lawyer of Armenian businessman Levon Ayrapetyan, says the defense is going to appeal against the entrepreneur's arrest, RIA Novosti reports on Thursday.
The arrest has recently been ordered by Moscow's Basmanny Court. According to the Russian Investigative Committee, the Armenian businessman earned $2 billion from selling the shares and was accused of money-wasting and legalization of illegal income.
Ayrapetyan, the tenth richest Armenian businessman and one of the main Nagorno-Karabakh sponsors, was detained at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport upon his arrival from Nice on Tuesday.
