Aliyev was prosecuted in a high-profile case 17 years ago in the murder of the son of the head of the Executive Power, Shamkir Aslan Aslanov.

Aliyev was sentenced to life imprisonment, and Lamia - to 10 years in prison. However, in 2015, she was prematurely released due to pregnancy.
Aliyev’s parents believe that their son was convicted too harshly, because under Article 120.1 (intentional murder), according to which he was found guilty; no one in Azerbaijan was sentenced for life. Such punishment shall be imposed in the event of the killing of two or more persons.
