At the trial of the former MP Guler Akhmedova the testimony of the witnesses continued.
Recall that Guler Akhmedova is accused of fraud and embezzlement in a large scale and harboring serious crime. On both counts she faces imprisonment of up to 12 years with confiscation of property.
The reason for the arrest was the video issued by the former Rector of the International University Elshad Abdullayev in September 2012. On these shots taken with a hidden camera, you can see how Akhmedova and her friend Sevinj Babayeva extort $ 1 million from Abdullayev for his election as an MP. After the emergence of the video, Babayeva fled to Turkey, where she died at the end of 2012.
At the November 12 meeting a testimony was made ?by ?Sevinj Babayeva's sister Vaafa.
"When my sister was in Turkey, I spoke to her on the phone and I asked why she had brought shame on us. She told me that this was a game that embroiled her and that Guler Akhmedova was behind all that, but she was inviolable," said Babayeva.
In turn, the defendant Akhmedova said that there was no bargaining with Elshad Abdullayev for an MP mandate.
"There is no proper name of a person mentioned. After I get out of here, I'll find him (Elshad Abdullayev) in France and I will insist on his arrest. He finances Sevinj Babayeva's family. But I 'm not afraid of their threats," said Akhmedova.
The trial continues. -16 06D -

However, questions have arisen about the legitimacy of the group, as an internet search yields little evidence of its existence beyond scattered mentions.

In the last two days, a "news" story appeared on TikTok about a whale spotted on Baku's seaside boulevard. The most "observant" users posted videos, commenting on the size of the animal. Later, other "witnesses" claimed it wasn't a whale, but a shark. Even later, a version emerged suggesting it was a submarine.
