Acquittal of person who embezzled 2.5 million manats overturned

The case of large-scale fraud committed against the well-known businessman Fakhreddin Feyziyev will be re-investigated, oxu.az reports. The decision on this was made by the Supreme Court. F. Feyziyev is a victim in the criminal case. According to the prosecution, he was deceived by Elshan Ismayilov, who promised to establish a business in Dubai. As a result, Feyziyev lost 2.5 million manats.

The Baku Court of Grave Crimes upheld the charge and sentenced E. Ismayilov to 10 years in prison. However, the Baku Court of Appeal considered the sentence illegal. E. Ismayilov was acquitted and released from criminal punishment.

This decision displeased the prosecutor. After some time, a cassation appeal was filed. According to the conclusion of the court of higher instance, the act of the acquitted person did not receive a proper legal assessment. The acquittal was overturned and the case was returned to the Baku Court of Appeal for retrial.

The Court of Appeal may either change or uphold its previous decision
