The RA Prosecutor General's Office continues to publish indicators of anti-corruption criminal legal fight for 2019. During 2019 by corruption cases investigated in the proceedings of the preliminary investigation bodies of the RA, a total of 1264 people were subjected to criminal prosecution, which compared to 2018 (960 people) is more by 31.6%. During the proceedings, the criminal prosecution  against 375 people was terminated, in case of 109 or 29% on the basis of aquittal grounds, 266 or 71% on the basis of non-aquittal grounds. Meanwhile, the number of the latter compared to 2018 was increased by 13.2%.

It should be noted that the criminal prosecution against people on the basis of non-acquittal grounds was terminated, as a rule due to the expiration of the statute of limitation for the crime or the application of the act of amnesty. And the certain increase in these indicators is conditioned by the criminal policy regarding the issue of encouraging the restoration of damage caused to the state or communities within the framework of the criminal procedure code regulations and the opportunities presented, assisting in detection of crimes, providing a more mitigating approach for people who committed not grave crime for the first time.

During 2019 a decision was made to involve as an accused by 1073 or compared to 2018  (819)  by 31% more people, from the mentioned a charge was brought against 1018 people.

During the reporting year, in the indicators of people subjected to criminal prosecution the number of people released from detention was decreased by 18 or 15.9% (in 2019-95 people - in 2018-113 people), which indicates that in 2019 cases of unjustified detentions were significantly reduced.

A stable practice was formed in the practice of using detention as a measure of restraint by corruption cases. In particular, during 2019, from 1018 accused against 98 or 9.6%, a petition for applying detention was presented, while during 2018 from 746 accused against 90 or 12%. Against the background of this decrease by 22 or 66.6% less accused were released from custody, which also indicates that the petition for applying detention as a measure of restraint or for the extension of their terms, which were satisfied by the court, were more justified.
