Another accused person will be extradited from Turkey to Azerbaijan.
According to the information provided to “Elchi” by the press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office, in accordance with the requirements of the Convention on Extradition dated December 13, 1957, the request submitted by the Prosecutor General’s Office regarding the extradition of Azerbaijani citizen Zinyat Mammadrasul gizi Safarova has been granted by the competent authorities of the Republic of Turkey.
It was stated that in the criminal case under preliminary investigation at the Main Department for Combating Corruption under the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Azerbaijan, reasonable suspicions were established that Zinyat Mammadrasul gizi Safarova, working as a director of a Limited Liability Company (LLC), embezzled more than 445 thousand manats of another LLC and legalized those funds.
According to the information, for this reason, a decision was made to charge Zinyat Safarova with committing the criminal acts of large-scale embezzlement and legalization of a significant amount of property obtained through criminal means, and as she was hiding to evade investigation, an international search was declared through the National Central Bureau of Interpol in Azerbaijan.
“As a result of the operational-search measures taken, Zinyat Safarova was detained in the territory of Turkey. Measures are being taken by the Penitentiary Service of the Ministry of Justice to bring Zinyat Safarova to our country,” the statement says.
