A preliminary hearing was held in the Baku Court of Grave Crimes on the case of Sabina Aliyeva, Kamala Mammadova and Sabina Nasibova, accused under Article 206.3.2 (smuggling committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan, oxu.az reports. At the trial chaired by Judge Rasim Sadykhov, state prosecutor Rauf Malyshev announced the indictment.

During the trial, it was revealed that K. Mammadova, through S. Nasibova and S. Aliyeva, tried to smuggle jewelry weighing about 1 kg and worth 101,000 manats into Azerbaijan. Thus, Duty Free employee S. Nasibova was supposed to illegally carry gold jewelry brought by K. Mammadova from Turkey through the customs checkpoint of the Heydar Aliyev International Airport and hand it over to her. However, the attempt failed – the gold was found in the closet where S. Nasibova hid it.
The court hearing was postponed until December 17, 2024.

It is noted that for all three women, a preventive measure in the form of police supervision was chosen for the duration of the preliminary investigation. The State Customs Committee was recognized as a victim in the criminal case.
