In connection with financial irregularities, a criminal case has been filed against officials of the public association "Centre of modern education and promotion of learning." The investigation of the case is held by the Anti -Corruption Department under the Prosecutor General's Office, said the press service of the Ministry.
The Prosecutor General's Office said that the investigation was initiated on the basis of materials received from the Ministry of Justice. In particular, the Centre's officials violated the rules of cash spending in 2010-13. We are talking about the expense for other purposes of a grant in the amount of $43,000. The prosecutor's office alleges that the funds were transferred to the account of a foreign state.
In addition, without proper documentation, 10,500 AZN was transferred to a certain company and another enterprise received 16,800 AZN in cash.
A criminal case was opened under Article 308.1 of the Criminal Code (abuse of power). We are talking about a project of the Ministry of Education with the University Azerbaijan, the details of which were not disclosed.
In turn, the fiscal officer of the Centre, Shahin Sadigov told Turan the Prosecutor General's message "is not based on real facts."
"Not knowing the conditions of the grant agreement without checking the grant budget, they give this information - it is wrong. We did not receive money from the state and we have no grant agreement," he said.
If the income is commercial in nature, the entity is free to spend its funds. "There was no embezzlement, and the money was spent for its intended purpose," said Sadigov, who did not specify what sort of grant it was nor who the donor was. -03D04-

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
