Another accused person will be extradited from Türkiye to Azerbaijan, the press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office told APA.

According to the information, in accordance with the requirements of the Convention on Extradition dated December 13, 1957, the request submitted by the Prosecutor General’s Office regarding the extradition of Azerbaijani citizen Zinyat Safarova Mammadrasul has been granted by the competent authorities of the Republic of Türkiye.

It was reported that within the criminal case under preliminary investigation by the Main Department for Combating Corruption under the Prosecutor General of Azerbaijan, reasonable suspicion has been established that Zinyat Safarova Mammadrasul, who worked as a director of a Limited Liability Company (LLC), embezzled more than 445,000 manats belonging to another LLC and laundered those funds.

According to the information, a decision was made to charge Zinyat Safarova with committing large-scale embezzlement and legalization of significant amounts of property obtained through criminal means, and since she evaded the investigation and went into hiding, she was declared internationally wanted through the National Central Bureau of Interpol in Azerbaijan.

“As a result of operational-search measures, Zinyat Safarova was detained on the territory of Türkiye. Measures are being taken by the Penitentiary Service of the Ministry of Justice to bring her to our country,” the information states.
