Court process on criminal case of football player

Baku’s Sabail District Court on 25.05.2016 held a hearing on the case of football player Javid Huseynov accused of the death of journalist Rasim Aliyev, APA reports.

During the hearing presided over by judge Elmar Rahimov, the footballer made his final plea, saying he was unaware of the murder and thus did not find himself guilty.

He asked the court to give a fair judgment about him.

The hearing will continue on May 31, 2016 and that day the final judgment will be pronounced.

Earlier, a state prosecutor demanded the court to sentence Huseynov to four years in prison.
