Baku/22.12.21/Turan: On Wednesday, the Baku Serious Crimes Court completed the trial in the case of the former head of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Farhad Mollazade and the responsible employee of the Consular Department Salim Alizadeh.
The court sentenced both defendants to suspended sentences with a two-year probationary period.
Earlier, the prosecutor suggested sentencing both defendants to 7 years in prison, canceling house arrest and taking both into custody in the courtroom. However, the court decided otherwise.
Mollazade and Alizade were arrested by the State Security Service in May 2020. They were charged under the Articles 179.3.2 (embezzlement on a large scale), 308 (abuse of office) and 311 (bribe-taking) of the Criminal Code.
In the course of the investigation, facts of financial abuse in the procurement for the department were revealed in the activities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The transactions were carried out through fictitious tenders. The amount of the stolen funds amounted to several million manats. -16D-
