School principal accused of fraud extradited from Turkey to Azerbaijan

The request submitted by the Prosecutor General’s Office regarding the extradition of Azerbaijani citizen Sevinj Alisafa gizi Huseynova has been granted by the competent authorities of the Republic of Turkey.

This was reported to elchi by the press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office.

It was stated that in the criminal case under preliminary investigation by the Surakhani District Prosecutor’s Office of Baku, reasonable suspicions were established that Sevinj Alisafa gizi Huseynova, while working as a school principal, used her official position to fraudulently misappropriate a total of 69,000 manats from several individuals.

For this reason, a decision was made to charge Sevinj Huseynova with fraud committed by using her official position, causing significant damage, and repeated commission of the crime, as well as abuse of office. As she was evading the investigation, an international search warrant was issued for her. As a result of the operational-search measures, Sevinj Huseynova was detained in the territory of Turkey.
Measures are being taken by the Penitentiary Service of the Ministry of Justice to bring Sevinj Huseynova to our country.

At the same time, the Prosecutor General’s Office continues to cooperate closely with foreign partner agencies, including Interpol, to identify wanted persons in foreign countries and bring them to the Republic of Azerbaijan.
