Ziyad Dovlatov, a villager from Adzhagly, Jalilabad, has issued a complaint about the Bilasuvar customs office, whose staff confiscated 18 sq. meters of tiles.
In his complaint to the media, Dovlatov wrote that on July 16, he tried to bring tiles, which he had bought in Iran, into Azerbaijan, but the customs officers demanded bribes in excess of the customs duties. Dovlatov refused to pay the bribe, and the customs officials confiscated his tiles.
"The Iranian customs officials did not say anything to me, not finding any fault, but our customs officers were rude and insolent," Dovlatov told Turan.
According to him, he came to the customs office and demanded the return of the confiscated tiles several times. "At first they demanded my invoice, and then a reference from the epidemics station that the tiles did not pose a threat to human health. Then they suddenly said that an order came from Baku not to return the confiscated goods. The customs officials Elshan, Teyyub and Tavakkul, literally scoffed at me. They stated that the tiles will be returned whenever they want.
I am a veteran of the Karabakh war and I was a tanker, and now I am confronted with such brazen lawlessness," Dovlatov said.
He also said that he called the "hot line" of various government agencies. " I have received a call from the Office for Combating Corruption under the Prosecutor General's Office, but no action has been taken.”
In turn, the "hot line" of the Customs Committee told Turan that the citizen’s complaint was admitted to the Customs Committee from the Prosecutor General's Office on July 24 and is now being considered. -03B04-
