Baku/21.11.23/Turan: On the evening of November 20, Ulvi Hasanli was charged under Art. 206.3.2 (smuggling of foreign currency by a group of persons by prior conspiracy) of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan. Lawyer Zibeyda Sadigova told reporters about this. He has been brought in as a suspect and will be placed in a pre-trial detention cell.
Hasanli pleaded not guilty and called the accusation unfounded.
“When money was found in the Abzas Media office - 40 thousand euros, he said that this money did not belong to him and he did not see it. “Unfortunately, he was charged with this,” the lawyer said.
