Businessman accused of fraud of several million manats

A hearing on the criminal case of Jahangir Ganbarov, accused of fraud worth millions of manats, was held at the Baku Court of Serious Crimes, chaired by Judge Sabina Mammadzadeh, oxu.az reports.

The defendant’s lawyers, Shaig Mirzoev and Rashad Abdiyev, filed a motion to order a forensic accounting examination, indicating that all the money sent by Jahangir Ganbarov was transferred through banks. The defense also emphasized that the main victim in the case, individual entrepreneur Akhmed Mutallimov, was a direct intermediary in the illegal withdrawal of large sums in national currency from the country. In this regard, the lawyers petitioned for Ganbarov himself to be recognized as a victim.

The court, after a short deliberation, considered the defense’s motions unfounded and rejected them. Then prosecutor Ziya Mansurov announced the indictment. The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him.
