Criminal case against ex-health minister Ali Insanov sent to court, lawyer Togrul Babayev told Turan. The case will be considered in the Garadagh District Court. The date of the preparatory meeting will be known in the coming days.
It should be reminded that Insanov has been detained since October 2005. Initially, he was accused of attempting a coup d'état, but then was sentenced to 11 years in economic terms. Despite the fact that the Strasbourg court found violation of Insanov's rights, the verdict against him was upheld.
In October 2016, 9 days before the end of Insanov's sentence, new charges were brought against him in the illegal storage of drugs, resistance to supervisors, storage of a prohibited item. On this basis, he was again arrested.
Insanov complained to the ECHR for a new arrest, considering the charges fabricated.
At the same time, at the request of the prosecutor's office, the term of Insanov's arrest was extended until March 31.-03B-
