According to him, the raids conducted Russian law-enforcement agencies today were not related to bank’s activity: “The branch is not operating. Bank’s management and staff work as usually. Today, the law-enforcement agencies conducted an operation in connection with one of the customers. This is not related with the bank and its staff. They required a document of the customer and left the bank. I’m at the bank now”.
He added that that customer is not linked with Azerbaijan: “The law-enforcement agencies required the document of Russian legal entity”.
Safarov noted that bank had one-hour intermission on money transfer while the law-enforcement agencies were requiring the documents. According to him, now, the bank operates without break.
