🕵Former Armenian Ambassador and a Russian National Charged in Foreign Bribery and Money Laundering Scheme
The DOJ Thursday charged a former Armenian ambassador and a Russian national with being part of a bribery scheme to help an Ohio-based unit of Rolls Royce win an overseas pipeline contract.
Azat Martirossian, 62, a citizen of Armenia who formerly served as that country’s ambassador to China, and Vitaly Leshkov, 50, a Russian citizen, were charged in a superseding indictment filed Thursday in federal court in Ohio.
The two are believed to be living outside the United States, the DOJ said.
