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.

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.
