Baku / 22.12.18 / Turan: The preliminary investigation of the criminal case in connection with the new charges against the former head of the International Bank of Azerbaijan (IBA) Jahangir Hajiyev and former MP Dunyamin Khalilov has been completed. This is in the joint statement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General"s Office received by www.haqqin.az.
Earlier, Hajiyev had already been sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of economic crimes.
At the same time, a separate criminal case was singled out on other facts, and additional charges were brought against Jahangir Hajiyev and other persons.
During the investigation, reasonable suspicions arose that, according to Hajiyev"s instructions, illegal operations with promissory notes had been carried out. In particular, it has been established that contracts were concluded with legal entities registered in other countries on the purchase / sale of bills of exchange that do not have any real value for a total amount of 3.4 billion dollars and 987 million euros.
In addition, on the orders of Hajiyev, numerous loan agreements were concluded in order to legalize funds in manat and foreign currency for a 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 of 4.7 billion manat together with Khalilov and another 20 people.
In addition, according to the investigation, Hajiyev, together with Khalilov, being the actual heads of Aztorg LLC from 2011 to 2014, did not pay taxes totaling 1,752,000 manat to the state budget.
In connection with the above, Hajiyev was charged with misappropriation of large sums of money, legalization of funds obtained by criminal means, tax evasion, etc.
Khalilov and 20 others are accused of misappropriation. The investigation of the case was completed and submitted to the Baku Court of Grave Crimes.
Recall that Jahangir Hajiyev registered London ownership of offshore companies. At trial, his wife stated that her husband had bought mansions and land worth more than $ 28 million with earned money, although his official salary does not allow it.
In 2015, Hajiyev and several of his subordinates were arrested and convicted on charges of stealing more than $ 200 million from the funds of the International Bank. Hajiyev was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
In court, he denied all charges and said that decisions on the allocation of large loans were taken by the Supervisory Board, which is under the control of the Ministry of Finance, speaking on behalf of the state as the main shareholder of the bank.
The former deputy Khalilov was a defendant in another criminal case and received 13 years in prison on similar charges. -06D-
