Rufat Safarov Case Considered by Lankaran Court
A criminal case against the former investigator of the Zardab region’s Prosecutor Office Rufat Safarov was received for consideration in the Lankaran Court of Grave Crimes on July 12. Turan was told in the court office.
The matter will be considered under the chairmanship of Asim Hajiyev. A preparatory meeting will be held on July 25 at 12.00.
Safarov is the son of a former member of parliament and one of the founders of the ruling party New Azerbaijan Eldar Sabiroglu, who last year publicly criticized the head of Presidential Administration Ramiz Mehdiyev.
In December, Safarov criticized the authorities in the press for violations of the law and the poor performance of law enforcement agencies, and announced his resignation from the prosecutor office. In turn, the prosecutor office reported the dismissal of Safarov "for improper conduct." On January 15 Safarov was arrested on charges of taking bribes. However, on January 22, he was released under house arrest. Safarov rejects the charge and says the criminal case is politically motivated. -03B06--
