On July 21, 2021, citizen J.Kh. filed a report stating that Anna Ashot Poghosyan had fraudulently taken possession of her apartment.

Within the framework of the initiated criminal proceedings, it was established that in 2014 Anna Poghosyan, having reached a prior agreement with her mother, intended to commit theft against J.Kh. In particular, Anna Poghosyan’s mother, taking advantage of the interpersonal relationships established between herself and J.Kh., as well as between Anna Poghosyan and J.Kh., presented Anna Poghosyan’s financial difficulties to J.Kh., proposing that, in exchange for USD 25,000, J.Kh.’s apartment located on Gyulbekyan Street in Yerevan and owned by J.Kh. be pledged as collateral. Anna Poghosyan’s mother promised J.Kh. that she would sell an apartment owned by her on Komitas Avenue in Yerevan and repay J.Kh.’s debt. Subsequently, Anna Poghosyan and J.Kh. went to a notary’s office, where on July 8, 2014, a loan agreement secured by property collateral was concluded for the amount of USD 25,000. As a result of the collateral arrangement, Anna Poghosyan received USD 25,000, but later failed to fulfill the obligation assumed under the loan agreement, thereby misappropriating from J.Kh. an amount equivalent to USD 25,000, namely AMD 10,175,000.

On January 12, 2026, the prosecutor initiated public criminal prosecution against Anna Poghosyan under point 3 of part 3 of Article 255 (fraud in an especially large scale).

On January 23, 2026, the public criminal prosecution initiated against Anna Poghosyan was terminated on non-exonerating grounds, due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.

In the course of the preliminary investigation, on November 27, 2025, a report was received from another citizen — S.K., stating that approximately five years earlier, for the purpose of assisting Anna Poghosyan, he/she had personally handed over USD 20,000 under a verbal agreement that the amount would be repaid, but to date the money has not been returned.

On the ground of the report, on November 28, 2025, criminal proceedings were initiated under point 3 of part 3 of Article 255 of the Criminal Code (fraud in an especially large scale).

Taking into account the existence of a repeated case of alleged fraud committed in a similar manner and within approximately the same time period by the same individual, the Prosecutor’s Office urges citizens who have been affected by the actions of Anna Poghosyan to contact law enforcement authorities.
