The criminal investigation of the ex-MP Guler Ahmadova's fraud case has been completed. Since February 13, she has been under arrest. The criminal case against her is on two counts: 178.2 (fraud) and 307.2 (deliberate concealment of crime). Ahmadova may be deprived of liberty for up to 12 years with confiscation of property for these items.
The reason for the arrest was the video spread by the former Rector of the International University, Elshad Abdullayev. On these shots taken with a hidden camera, you can see how Ahmadova and her accomplice Babayeva extort $ 1 million from Abdullayev for his election as MP.
According to her lawyer Rafig Mustafayev, who talked to Turan, she is being acquainted with the case. She does not agree with the charges against her and declares that the above video was an installation and fake.
Regarding Ahmadova's health, the lawyer noted that "it remains unchanged."
Earlier, Ahmadova complained of feeling unwell.
The lawyer did not say when the trial would start. -16B-
