Convicted ex-head of Interbank does not understand the reason for pressure on him
Baku /16.05.19/Turan: The former chairman of the board of the International Bank of Azerbaijan OJSC (IBA), Jahangir Hajiyev, who is kept in the Baku pretrial detention center N 1 , is not allowed with his relatives. In this regard, his sister Amina Hajiyeva today went to the Prison Service, accompanied by journalists.
According to A.Hajiyeva, Mirsaleh Seyidov, the head of the operational-regime management, received her. "He said that the Deputy Minister of Justice, Jeyhun Hasanov ( he is also the head of the Prison Service) will send my complaint to investigate the situation.
"Since last September, Jahangir Hajiyev is not allowed to call home and meetings with family members. The response signed by Mirsaleh Seyidov, to my appeal to the prison service in April, said that there were no restrictions on meetings and telephone conversations of Jahangir Hajiyev. However, for eight months I am notallowed to talk and see my brother, "said Hajiyeva.
"When we last saw each other, he said that he did not know the reasons for such a harsh attitude towards him ... After all, this is a violation of human rights and laws. We cannot even pass food for him, because he is completely isolated. There is pressure on lawyers," said Hajiyeva, noting that she will continue to fight for his rights.
* Jahangir Hajiyev was arrested on December 5, 2015, and the Baku Serious Crimes Court sentenced him to 15 years in prison.
Hajiyev and seven others were found guilty of abuse, fraud with causing major damage, embezzlement, abuse of office, and giving a bribe.
In December 2018, the Prosecutor General"s Office brought charges against Hajiyev under the Articles on appropriation of large sums of money, legalization of criminal funds, tax evasion, etc.
He is charged with the conclusion of transactions for the purchase/sale of promissory notes with no real value for a total amount of 3.4 billion dollars and 987 million euros.
On the instructions of Hajiyev, according to the investigation, numerous loan agreements were concluded in order to legalize funds in manat and foreign currency in the total amount of 900 million manat. These funds were transferred from bank accounts to other accounts for the purpose of assignment.
The investigation accuses Hajiyev of misappropriation, together with the former deputy Dunyamin Khalilov and another 20 persons, of 4.7 billion manat.
According to the investigation, Hajiyev, together with Khalilov, being the actual heads of Aztorq LLC from 2011 to 2014, did not pay taxes to the state budget in the amount of 1 million 752 thousand manats.

In 2017, the Sumgayit City Court ruled to evict the Aliyev family—refugees from Gubadli (Akper, Sarvinaz, Ramil, and two other family members)—from an illegally occupied apartment in the 12th microdistrict, Building 7A, Apartment 35. The court ordered the property be returned to its rightful owner, Samaya Aliyeva. However, the Ministry of Justice intervened, citing a presidential decree from July 1, 2004, which approved a state program for improving the living and working conditions of refugees. Under this directive, refugees without alternative housing cannot be evicted until they are provided with a replacement residence by the Executive Authority.
