On Friday, the Supreme Court of Azerbaijan chaired by Judge Ilham Jafarov considered the cassation appeal of the journalist Ilham Jafarov. The complaint was partially satisfied, and the sentence was reduced from 10 to 5 years in prison. Ibrahimov was arrested on the complaint of Mohammed Bagirov, the former head of the Department of Education of the Kelbajar region, who himself is now under arrest on charges of corruption.

However, the Court partially upheld the complaint and applying Article 62 (appointment of a smaller punishment than prescribed), and taking into account Ibrahimov’s participation in the Karabakh war, and reduced the sentence from 10 to 5 years.

The video was evidence of individuals who received fake diplomas. But Bagirov complained that the journalist extorted money from him, so as not to distribute these materials.
It is noteworthy that the Office to Combat Corruption under the Prosecutor General's Office in April 2014 filed a lawsuit against members of the Ganja branch of the Institute of teachers and Mohammed Bagirov on charges of abuse of office. -03D06--
