31 March 2009 11:17 (UTC +04:00)

APA reports that judge Azer Orujov presided over the process. Defendant Mirali Aliyevâ€™s lawyer Abdul Bagirov said his client was not guilty. The lawyer said the examination had not been carried out completely.
â€œThe defendants were arrested, because they used â€œecstasyâ€, tablets containing NDMA chemical agents above the norm. But the judgment of the examination on the dose of the chemical agent has not been announced yet. Initial investigation should not be based on probabilities,â€ he said.
He asked the court to take these points into consideration and pass a fair decision. Lawyer Zuleykha Salahova said Ruslan Rustamov had been arrested on groundless accusations. The lawyer noted the dose of NDMA in the tablet. She said there was no judgment on the dose of NDMA in the tablets. The lawyer asked the court to acquit Ruslan Rustamov.

Orkhan Nadirovâ€™s lawyer Seyfeddin Aliyev did not agree with the public prosecutor.
â€œThere is no fact proving Orkhan Nadirovâ€™s crime. It is not right to bring accusation against him on Article 307.1 (not informing about crimes and obviously not promised concealment of crimes) of the Criminal Code. We ask the court to acquit Orkhan Nadirov,â€ he said.
Javidan Aliyevâ€™s lawyer Firdovsiyye Bakhshaliyeva asked the court to pass a fair judgment on her client. Ramil Hasanovâ€™s lawyer and Elshan Budagovâ€™s lawyer Gulara Ilyasova asked the court to acquit their clients. The process will continue on April 1.

Public prosecutor Nariman Alakbarov demanded sentence for the defendants. He demanded 2-year imprisonment for Orkhan Nadirov, 9-year imprisonment for Yalchin Hasanov, 8-year imprisonment for Hasan Hasanov, 8-year imprisonment for Ruslan Rustamov, 5-year imprisonment for Ruslan Zaliyev, 5-year imprisonment for Vugar Aliyev, 5-year imprisonment for Javid Aliyev, 18-month imprisonment for Ramil Hasanov, 1-year imprisonment for Kamala Eyvazova, 18-month imprisonment for Elshan Budagov, 18-month imprisonment for Mirali Aliyev, 7 years and 3 months for Zubaya Gulami and 8 years and 6 months for Ali Ismayilov.
