A man who fled the country after seriously injuring his wife with a sharp object in Baku’s Khatai district has been detained, the Ministry of Internal Affairs told APA.
Investigations established that Rustam Ibrahimov, born in 1969, left Azerbaijan in the direction of Türkiye after committing the crime and later traveled to China.
Joint operations carried out by officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and law enforcement authorities of the People’s Republic of China resulted in Ibrahimov’s detention in the Chinese city of Xianyang.
Measures are currently underway to facilitate his extradition to Azerbaijan.
