Today the Baku Court of Grave Crimes chaired by Ramella Allahverdieva completed the trial on the case of Tekhnikabank employees accused of economic crimes.
The court sentenced the former Chairman of the Bank, Samir Huseynov, to 8 years in prison, the former Deputy Chairman of the bank, Nijat Abdullayev (who was under house arrest and was arrested in the courtroom) to 8 years, Elnur Ismayilov to 8 years, Polad Talybov to 7 years and 3 months in prison, and Zulfugar Zulfugarli to 7 years and 6 months of imprisonment.
Among the prisoners there is also the brother-in-law of Ali Kerimli, the PFPA leader, Elnur Seyidov, who served as head of the Yasamal branch of the bank.
All of them were found guilty under Article 178 (cheating), 308 (abuse of power), 313 (forgery), 320 (falsification of official documents), etc.
The lawyer Asabali Mustafayev told Turan the guilt of Seyidov is not proven and he is being persecuted for political reasons because he is a relative of Ali Kerimli. The verdict will be appealed, the lawyer said.
The criminal case against the former head of the Supervisory Board Etibar Aliyev and the head of the Yasamal branch will be considered separately. -16D-
