Baku/13.01.21/Turan: On Wednesday, Ilham Aliyev issued a decree on awarding Ilham Rahimov "Shohrat" order for many years of fruitful activity in the legal sphere in Azerbaijan, the decree says.

According to unofficial sources, Rahimov is a classmate and personal friend of Vladimir Putin.
Formally, Rahimov went into business only in 1999, after the appointment of Vladimir Putin as Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. Then he left the post of vice-rector of the Diplomatic College in Baku and headed the legal department of Lukoil-Azerbaijan. Rahimov's acquaintances are sure. In an interview, he admitted that his main business is related to real estate in Russia.
According to Forbes, Rahimov was a co-owner of several Moscow shopping centers (Evropeyskiy, Sadovod, and Grand) and luxury hotels (Ukraina), the Antipinsky Oil Refinery, whose turnover is estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars. He is also a co-owner of the Kievskaya Ploshchad Company. According to some reports, he sold his stakes in these companies.
Today, Forbes estimates Rahimov's personal fortune at $ 400-500 million.
Until now, the name of Rahimov has rarely appeared in official sources, but now, on the eve of his 70th birthday, the authorities have remembered the merits. -02D-

The court records from the trial of Teymur Kerimov, the head of the YouTube channel Kanal-11, were falsified, the declaration distributed by Kerimov's colleagues. “The court documents are distorted. They misrepresented the testimony of citizens. For instance, the victim Leila Almaszadeh stated in court that she had no complaints against me. In court, she said, “Teymur did not ask me for money and did not receive any money from me.” However, the court protocol states that she is complaining about me and demands the removal of illegally recorded videos,” writes Kerimov.
