Guler Ahmedova already accused of two articles of the Criminal Code
The Prosecutor-General confirmed the measure chosen against Akhmedova - detention for a period of 2 months. "The investigation has established that Akhmedova to seize other people's property on a large scale in October and November 2005, entered into a criminal conspiracy with her friend Sevinj Babayeva and through her met with the rector of Azerbaijan International University, Abdullayev. Abusing his trust, she gave him a false promise of his election as a deputy and by committing fraud, took $ 1 million from him," said the press service of the Prosecutor General.
In addition, Akhmedova, knowing that, for Babayeva on January 19, 2009 a criminal case was filed under Article 178.3.2 in connection with getting money on a large scale by swindling from a citizen Namik Aliyev and others in May 2007, helped her to escape on 26 September 2012 to Turkey and in particular accompanied her at the Baku airport.
Akhmedova organized illegal residence of Babayeva in Turkey and financed her stay there and, thus, actively prevented her detention and facilitated the concealment of a felony. Therefore Akhmedova is charged under articles 178.3.2 and 307.2 (harboring serious crime) and a preventive measure - arrest for a period of two months was chosen for her, the message concluded. -0-
