An appeal has been filed in Baku against the verdict of the owner of the Hom Paş Prestij housing cooperative, Turkish citizen Hikmet Yigitdol, accused of fraud, oxu.az reports. The complaint will be considered under the chairmanship of the judge of the Baku Court of Appeal Mirzali Abbasov. The preliminary court hearing is scheduled for September 4, 2024.
It is noted that the Hom Paş Prestij housing cooperative, owned by H. Yigitdol, in 2008, based on the order of the Baku City Executive Authority, acquired a land plot in the 1181st block on Khojaly Avenue in the Khatai district and began construction of a multi-story building.
According to the charges, the businessman sold the same apartments to several people, thereby committing fraud against 72 citizens. Some victims have already stated that they have no claims against the accused. Thus, Elchin Heydarov and Veli Akberli reported that they received compensation in the form of non-residential premises and apartments in the same building.
H. Yigitdol is accused under Article 178.3.2 (fraud committed with causing major damage) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan. A preventive measure in the form of house arrest was chosen against him.
The Baku Court of Grave Crimes sentenced the Turkish businessman to several years of imprisonment.
