CEC and Prosecutor’s Office “Kick off” Mehman Huseynov’s Complaint about Attempt to Bribe Him
Baku / 08.02.20 / Turan: Neither the CEC nor the prosecutor's office took any measures in connection with the audio recording made public by the candidate for deputies in the 31st Surakhany second district, on which his rival Faraj Guliyev offered him money.
Guliyev suggested that Huseynov withdraw his candidacy in his favor, promising certain benefits, including money allegedly for treatment.
After the blogger complained on February 5, the CEC limited itself to issuing a warning to Faraj Guliyev. At the same time, the head of the CEC, Mazahir Panahov, said that "this is not a final decision." According to him, the prosecutor’s office is also investigating the incident, and the final decision will be made taking into account the results of the prosecutor’s investigation.
On February 6, the head of the press service of the prosecutor general’s office, Eldar Sultanov, wrote on his Facebook page that the blogger’s appeal was sent to the CEC “to make an appropriate decision.”
Independent lawyers unequivocally stated that Guliyev’s acts contained a corpus delicti and his candidacy should be eliminated. -06D-
