According to the criminal proceedings initiated in the investigative department of the RA National Security Service and carried out in the RA Anti-Corruption Committee, it was established that the inspectors of the Kotayk registration-investigative department of the "Road Police" service of the Police of the RA MIA Zh. V., E. S. and H. M., using their official and duty powers, demanded and received bribes of various sizes with the mediation of Kotayk marz resident S. G., and in some cases also other citizens, in order to patronize and commit illegal acts for the benefit of a number of citizens.

In particular, the preliminary examination revealed that a number of citizens, without having the relevant theoretical and practical knowledge, applied to S. G. and A. G., and the latter assisted the road traffic inspectors they know, in providing driver's licenses to these citizens with formal exams in exchange for bribes. S. G. and A. G., having received various sums in the amount of 40,000-300,000 AMD from the mentioned citizens, kept a part of them as a reward for the "support" provided, and transferred the rest as a bribe to the mentioned police officials.

As a result, police officers Zh. V., E. S. and H. M., formally accepted and positively evaluated the practical and theoretical exams from the citizens without properly checking the practical knowledge of driving a car, on the basis of which driver's licenses were issued in violation of the established procedure. In some cases, licenses were also issued to driver candidates who had previously failed practical tests several times and had insufficient driving skills.

After that, the officials of the TP put into circulation the protocols of passing the practical test, in which they inserted obviously false information that the driver candidates passed the practical tests by correctly performing all the required actions, on the basis of which they were issued driving licenses.
