The court heard evidence about morals and money in the company Murov

Baku/14.02.23/Turan: On February 13, the Baku Serious Crimes Court revealed the use of money in the “Murov” company, a construction contractor of Azerbaijan Railways CJSC. The court, chaired by Faik Ganiev, is considering a lawsuit filed by the owner of the “Murov” company, Afgan Zeynalov, against the former head of the personnel department of the same company, Nelli Fabrichnaya. Zeynalov accuses a former subordinate of stealing about $400,000 (720,000 manats).

In the first half of the meeting, all participants in the trial put forward their claims. The judge showed a bunch of complaints to higher authorities, which, according to Ganiev, Nelli had written with the prompting of her lawyer Gazanfar Rzayev. The defendant denied her participation in this, especially since the statements were not signed. They talk about the subjectivity of the court and contain a request to the authorities "to take the process under control." The judge noted that messages from the pre-trial detention center should not be sent without the knowledge of the head of the institution.

What is surprising in this case is that the complaints against Judge Ganiev returned to Judge Ganiev.

The victim Zeynalov again raised the demand to return the case for further investigation, as episodes important to him were left out of the trial. A lawyer Rzayev, objected it; he considered it right that the investigator's decision not to include some irrelevant episodes in the list of charges.

Lawyer Gazanfar Rzayev and his client Fabrichnaya demanded the removal of the entire composition of the court, which, as the defense lawyer said, does not satisfy the motion of the defense. But this motion of the lawyer was also not executed, since, according to the judge, it has no reason to consider the actions of the judges illegal.

Lawyer Rzayev raised the issue of dubious contacts between Zeynalov and his lawyer with Judge Ganiev. Rzayev saw how they talked in the office. Judge Ganiev did not deny the fact expressed by the lawyer.

Judge Ganiev accused lawyer Rzayev of intentionally being late for the court session, as the  trial began on February 13 with a 32-minute delay. Rzayev said that the Judge was an hour late and everyone had to wait for him. But Ganiev explained his delays by "objective reasons."

After discussions, Judge Ganiev satisfied the desire of Ilhama Hasanova, Zeynalov's lawyer, to re-interrogate the witnesses who had testified before, when Zeynalov had another lawyer. She believes that under the previous lawyer, important questions were not asked to the witnesses. The prosecution intends to send requests to several Azerbaijani banks to find out the contents of the deposits of Fabrichnaya and her brother Oleg, to read bank SMS. Afgan Zeynalov stated that the money stolen from him migrated to Oleg, who lives outside of Azerbaijan, and demanded that the court act against him. Fabrichnaya met with statement with indignation, she said that her family members have their own savings that are not related to the “Murov” company.

The accused Nelly Fabrichnaya protested against the non-use of microphones and cameras in the courtroom, and the absence of translation of speeches into Russian. The judge objected, saying that Nelly and her father speak Azerbaijani.

The other interesting  moment is  when the judge read out Fabrichnaya's testimony during the investigation, since Nelly refused to answer questions in court. During the investigation, Fabrichnaya talked about the things in the “Murov” company. Zeynalov kept the money in a safe installed in the apartment of her father Vyacheslav, with whom Zeynalov  had good relations at that time. Although the company had an office, Zeynalov lived in a rented apartment, in the same house as Nelly's father.  Afgan did not hand over the code and keys of the safe to Nelly and Vyacheslav, he himself put money in the safe and took it from there, informing Nelly about it. She listed cases of placing and withdrawing money in a safe, the largest amount was 1 million 200 thousand dollars, which she transferred to her boss by his orders.

Nelly had a conflict with her former friend Rauf Zulfugarov. At first,  he borrowed  from her large sums, helping to solve the problems of a friend. Then their relationship deteriorated, and Rauf began to extort even larger sums from her, threatening to publish revealing photographs of a personal nature.

The relationship between Fabrichnaya and her boss went beyond the official. As Nelli reported during the investigation, she and Zeynalov went to Turkey 4-5 times, where Afgan gave her jewelry. When Zeynalov was seriously ill, Nelly made sure that the medicines prescribed by the doctor were taken correctly, and Afgan did not allow his own brother to see her. Zeynalov became ill when he violated the schedule of taking medications. During the 2020 war, Zeynalov went to the front; at that time Nelly managed the company by proxy signed by her boss.

But once Zeynalov discovered the loss of about 300 thousand dollars. There was a scandal in the company, Fabrichnaya suspected a cleaner who could steal money. According to Fabrichnaya, Zeynalov put pressure on her, R. Zulfugarov's blackmailing actions did not stop. Zeynalov beat her, and then, in a state of stress, she wrote a confession with a promise to return the money to the boss, the entire missing amount. Then, as Nelli said, she refused this statement which, as she said,  she wrote  under forceful pressure. During the conflict, Zeynalov fired Fabrichnaya and returned her to previous position.

At the next court session, the hearing of Fabrichnaya's testimony at the investigation stage will continue.
