13 October 2010 15:47 (UTC +04:00)

APA reports that Islam Neymanov presided over the hearing. Rail Rzayevâ€™s legal representative and defending lawyers delivered speeches at the court.

The Generalâ€™s legal representative asked the court to hand over 200 000 euro taken from the Rail Rzayevâ€™s safe to his legal heir. â€œWe believe in fair decision of the court and we agree with the public prosecutorâ€™s speechâ€.

Defendant Anar Hashimovâ€™s lawyer Aydin Mammadov said preliminary investigation was contradictious. â€œThe decision about pre-trial detention of Anar Hashimov was groundless. The criminal investigation shows that he was not involved in the crimeâ€.

Aydin Rafiyevâ€™s lawyer Beyler Mamishov also called the preliminary investigation as contradictious. â€œWhen Rail Rzayev was killed, Aydin Rafiyev informed his family about 200 000 euro. They told him to hide money that they could take it later. He didnâ€™t follow any other goal when he took money. Rail Rzayev told him many times that he didnâ€™t trust to anyone except his son Gurban Rzayevâ€.

The lawyer said there was no secret document in the generalâ€™s room. â€œAydin didnâ€™t inform about any secret documentâ€.

Anar Rafiyevâ€™s lawyer said he would address the court in the next session because his speech was not ready.

The hearing will be continued on October 15.
