Baku/25.04.23/Turan: ON Tuesday, the Supreme Court of Azerbaijan granted the cassation protest of the Prosecutor General's Office against the decision of the Baku Court of Appeal on the release from confiscation of the property of the former head of the Department of the Ministry of National Security, General Akif Chovdarov and an employee of this department, Colonel Salim Mammadov.
In December last year, the Baku Court of Appeal decided to return to these persons the confiscated real estate for about 30 million manat – about 15 million euros (apartments, mansions, country houses, land plots, etc.).
Chovdarov and Mammadov were arrested in 2015 on charges of unlawful imprisonment, embezzlement, extortion by threats, etc. Subsequently, Chovdarov was sentenced to 12 years in prison, and Mammadov to 11 years. Nevertheless, Chovdarov was pardoned by Ilham Aliyev in 2020, and Mammadov – in 2022. ---03B06---
