Defrauded update: George Najarian wins

For background see here and here:

RFE/RL report that George Najarian, an Armenian-American who claims he has been defrauded out of property in Yerevan, has won a court case he brought against prosecutors who had refused to press formal charges against his former business associate, Grigor Igitian.

According to Najarian’s attorney, Ashot Poghosian, the court recognized his client as a “victim” and ordered the Prosecutor-General’s Office to resume the fraud inquiry. “We are satisfied with the verdict,” Poghosian told RFE/RL. “We regret that things have gotten thus far and hope that the prosecutor’s office will not appeal.

This doesn't mean he has won his case against Igitian. He has only won the right to prosecute Igitian.
