In a bizarre twist of fate, American-Armenian benefactors George and Carolann Najarian have been taken to civil court by none other than Grigor Igityan, the Armenian citizen who was found guilty of defrauding the couple in the first place out of money and property.

After a trial that dragged on for 8 years, Igityan was convicted on all counts and is now serving out his prison sentence in jail.

Igityan is claiming damages for financial losses allegedly sustained as a reult of his conviction.

In addition to the court case, the Najarians’ properties have been attached by the court. This is unprecedented in legal practice not only in Armenia, but elsewhere.

According to the Najarians’ attorneys in Armenia, all demands made in Igityan’s claim have been resolved through multiple court decisions in the criminal case brought against him.

The evidence to substantiate these decisions against Igityan was confirmed by the highest court there.
