Baku/02.09.23/Turan: Member of the board of the Muslim Unity movement Agali Yakhyaev was arrested on charges of drug trafficking, lawyer Zibeyda Sadigova told Turan.
According to her, Yakhyaev was detained on August 31 by officers of the Apsheron District Police Department.
“On August 31, I called the Apsheron District Police Department at least 5 times and each time they answered me that they do not have such a person. And today (September 1) it turned out that Agali Yakhyaev was charged there under Art. 234.4.3 (large-scale drug trafficking) of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan. By a court decision, a measure of restraint in the form of arrest was chosen against him,” the lawyer said.
Under this article, Yahyaev faces a prison sentence of 5 to 12 years.
It was not possible to get comments from the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It should be noted that in 2017 Yakhyaev was sentenced in the so-called “Nardaran case” to 15 years in prison. However, in March 2021, he was pardoned by the head of state.
In May 2022, he was administratively arrested for 30 days. -21D06-
