Baku / 05.02.20 / Turan: The High Court of London rejected the appeal of Zamira Hajiyeva, wife of the former head of the International Bank of Azerbaijan, Jahangir Hajiyev, who was sentenced to 17 years in his homeland for theft of 17 years in prison.
Lacking income, Hajiyeva lived in London in a big way, which aroused the suspicion of the British National Anti-Crime Agency (NCA). She could not explain where she got the money to buy a house in a fashionable area of London and a golf club in the province.
Hajiyeva calls herself a victim of unjust persecution in Azerbaijan and says that everything is acquired legally. Now she must provide an explanation of her wealth within seven days. If she does not, the NCA will ask the court to confiscate the property, and then sell it. The proceeds will go to the UK treasury. -02D-
