Disclosed Tax Crimes Involving 106 Companies

The Ministry of Taxes has exposed an organized criminal group, which in 2011 - 2013 avoided paying taxes to the state budget of several million manat. To do this, they used the services of a group of 106 companies that were created by its leader - previously convicted İlkin Abbasov.

According to the Ministry, I. Abbasov appointed Allahyar Mirzoev a director in 54 LLC, Dargah Askerov in 23 LLC, Samir Fatullayev in 28 LLC, Alekper Ismailov and Fikret Kazymov – in one company each. The group used to carry out its tasks in cooperation with the father of I. Abbasov, who was the director of Globus M and is under arrest now.

The total amount of a civil action brought against the members of the group amounts to more than 6.6 million manat. Members of the group tried to escape from the investigation. In December last year, it was decided to arrest them as a preventive measure in respect of all members of the group. A criminal case has been referred to the Prosecutor General.

It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Taxes is silent about how this team was able to "cling" to the big money. The report mentions some public procurement (construction of two rural schools in Samukh district, major overhaul of the road in Salyan district) that has been implemented on a tender basis. The question of how these newly minted companies that do not have human resources, financial resources (to tender requires a minimum of a certain bank guarantee), and even the appropriate licenses became winners of tenders for a large scale.

Earlier, the news agency Turan wrote about the facts of the institution by the same face of numerous companies (Feb. 12, 2014), including those with the participation of Allahyar Mirzoyev. Law enforcement agencies did not respond to this article. ---- 08B
