As a result of operational and investigative activities carried out by the State Security Service (SSS) of Azerbaijan, Georgian citizen Agil Goyja oglu Aslanov and citizen of the Republic of Azerbaijan Jeyhun Shahin oglu Ismayilov, who were planning a terrorist attack against a member of one of the religious communities operating in our country, were detained, Oxu.Az reports with reference to the press service of the SSS. The service learned that A. Aslanov, who is involved in drug smuggling, met with employees of the special services of this country through an acquaintance in September 2024 during a trip to a third country. They showed Aslanov photographs of a member of a religious community in Azerbaijan and offered to assassinate him for 200 thousand dollars. By mutual agreement, Agil Aslanov was instructed to collect and transmit to them the necessary intelligence information about the community member and his place of work, for which he was given an advance payment of $2,000.

A criminal case was opened in the State Security Service on this fact under Articles 28, 214.2.1 (preparation for terrorism by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, an organized group or a criminal association (criminal organization), 274 (high treason) and 276 (espionage) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The court chose a preventive measure in the form of arrest for Agil Aslanov and Jeyhun Ismayilov.

A case of fraud has been recorded in the Nasimi district of the capital, as a result of which the money of three citizens for a total of over 23 thousand manats was appropriated, Oxu.Az reports, citing the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

According to the information, during operational and investigative activities, police officers identified and detained suspects in the crime – 44-year-old T. Yunisov, previously convicted of similar acts, and 42-year-old S. Samedov.

An investigation is underway into this fact.

A receptionist at one of the dental clinics in Baku has been brought to criminal responsibility, Oxu.Az reports with reference to Qafqazinfo. 24-year-old Nigar Suleymanova is accused of embezzlement on a large scale.

Her case is being heard in the Baku Court of Grave Crimes. The accused has not been arrested, but another preventive measure has been chosen for her. According to the indictment, Nigar embezzled 74,000 manats that belonged to the clinic.

At the preparatory hearing, the victim’s lawyer filed a motion to arrest the accused. The motion is justified by the fact that the damage caused to the victim has not been compensated. The founder and director of the medical institution, Ramiz Jalilov, also took part in the trial. He demanded that the former employee be arrested. The prosecutor considered the lawyer’s motion unfounded and sent the case back for further investigation.

The court rejected the victim’s motion and ordered that N. Suleimanova’s case be considered at a court hearing. The first review hearing is scheduled for January 27.
