«The State Committee for National Security is conducting pre-trial proceedings against the Presidential Envoy to the Parliament in the rank of Deputy Chief of Staff of the head of state,» the statement says.

He used the Illegally obtained funds in the course of the election campaign, thereby abusing his official position, in his own selfish interests, in order to ensure guarantees of winning a larger number of votes.
