Jamil Hasanli: Why does not the Prosecutor General's Office investigate the "Azerbaijani land-mine"?

Baku/27.05.18/Turan: Jamil Hasanli, chairman of the National Council of Democratic Forces (NCDF), considers absurd the accusations of the activists of the Popular Front party in "money laundering" by law enforcement bodies, while the Azerbaijani authorities became at the center of the international scandal "Azerbaijan land-mine".

Hasanli, referring to the article by the agency "Bloomberg" in his publication on Facebook, points to the discovery of new facts of corruption and money laundering. It turns out that in 2012-2014 from Azerbaijan through the bank Danske in Estonia for the purpose of money laundering was withdrawn not 2.9 billion, and 3.9 billion dollars.

After the publication by the international journalist network OCCRP of the study "Azerbaijan Land-Rumat", NCDF appealed to the General Prosecutor's Office to investigate the withdrawal of 2.9 billion dollars from the country, which were transferred to offshore and used for corruption purposes.

Despite the fact that the money transferring structures were known - Baktelekom MMC LLC, International Bank, state agencies, no investigation was conducted. "Remaining indifferent to such robbery, the Prosecutor General's Office now accuses the members of the Popular Front of "money laundering" which sometimes cannot find 20 gepik for the subway," Hasanli writes.

At the same time, he recalls how during the investigation of the criminal case against the officials of the Ministry of Communications, the payment to the heads of this department from the "black cash desk" for 300.000 - 400.000 manat was revealed.

Hasanli's ridiculous accusations on the part of the authorities who were mired in corruption and money laundering in the commission of these crimes by members of the opposition party who received small donations from like-minded people used them to help families of political prisoners. --06D--
