Extradited from Belarus to Baku on February 7, the blogger Alexander Lapshin has been placed in Detention Center No. 1 (Kurdakhani) of the Prison Service. Turan was told by the head of the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office Eldar Sultanov.
He said the necessary investigative actions are carried out, without disclosing details. In particular, it remains unclear who will defend Lapshin, or who will conduct the investigation in this case.
The authorities also shy away from the question about the likelihood of releasing Lapshin to Israel, taking into account the written apology by the blogger and the appeal of his mother to Ilham Aliyev. -03B06-
