Spokesperson for the prosecutorâ€™s office Eldar Sultanov told APA that head of Mur-Ay Ltd Huseynov Elkhan Balakhan, deputy director of â€œAzerbaijanâ€ printing house Mammadbeyli Galib Mammad and others organized a criminal group swindling the ordinary citizens of Baku selling same apartments in Yeni Yasamal residential area of the city to different people and collecting money from each of them. The company faced with charges according to article 178.3.2 (swindle with large amount of damages) on November 4, 2010 under the investigation launched by the grave crime investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The investigators identified that the construction company committed illegal actions against resident of Baku City Gulieva Elmira Tofig and others swindling large amount of money.

According to the decision of the Sabayil district court, the Ministry of Taxes was urged to inspect the fulfillment of tax legislation by the company.

The court made decision about the pre-trial detention of Mur-Ay Ltdâ€™s director Huseynov Elkhan Balkhan under article 178.3.2, but he avoided the investigation and therefore he was declared wanted.
