Several episodes of fraud uncovered in Anna Poghosyan case
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, as early as July 21, 2021, citizen J.Kh. submitted a report to law enforcement authorities stating that Anna Ashoti Poghosyan had deceitfully seized an apartment belonging to them by right of ownership.
Back in 2014, Anna Poghosyan’s mother, by prior agreement, presented her daughter’s financial problems to J.Kh. and proposed to mortgage an apartment located on Gulbenkian Street in Yerevan for 25 000 USD, promising to repay the debt with proceeds from the sale of an apartment on Komitas Avenue.
Subsequently, they signed a loan agreement secured by the property. As a result, Anna Poghosyan received 25 000 USD but failed to fulfill the obligations undertaken by the contract, embezzling 10 175 000 AMD from J.Kh.
On January 12, 2026, the prosecutor initiated public criminal prosecution against Anna Poghosyan; however, on January 23, 2026, the criminal prosecution was terminated on non-exonerating grounds due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
In November of the previous year, law enforcement authorities received an application from another citizen, S.K., according to which, about five years ago, they had personally handed over 20 000 USD to Anna Poghosyan based on a verbal agreement to help her, but the money has not been returned to date.
Based on this report, a new criminal proceeding has been initiated on the grounds of fraud on a particularly large scale.
The Prosecutor’s Office urges other citizens who have suffered from Anna Poghosyan’s actions to contact law enforcement authorities.
