In particular, in 2017, Khalilov was sentenced to 13 years in prison on charges of not returning a loan received from the IBA, and the head of the bank and his relative Jahangir Hajiyev – 14.5 years.
In 2019, Khalilov was re-convicted along with Hajiyev and his relative on charges of committing economic crimes. Khalilov's sentence was increased to 14.5 years in prison, and Hajiyev's – 16.5 years. Khalilov was the owner of the famous office center “Globus Plaza".
