Baku. Etibar Mammadov – APA. The Baku Court of Grave Crimes on Friday held a hearing in the case of the arrested former chairman of the International Bank of Azerbaijan Jahangir Hajiyev and seven more people connected with him.

Hajiyev’s lawyer Fakhraddin Mehdiyev wanted to consider hearing protocols.

Judge Afgan Hajiyev mentioned that the protocols are presented to parties within three days only after the end of the trial.

Then witnesses testified at the hearing.

In his testimony, Emma Hasanova, former mother-in-law of accused Azad Javadov, loans were taken on her behalf, and she only signed the documents.

In turn, Ehtiram Aliyev, head of the bank’s Sabail branch, said that Hajiyev didn’t give him any illegal instructions.

Niyaz Karimzade, head of the bank’s Sabunchu district, noted that he granted loans worth $750,000 to person named Rasim Mehdiyev.

In view of the absence of other witnesses, the court ordered to summon them to the hearing forcibly.

The trial will be continued on Sept. 14.

The former head of the International Bank of Azerbaijan Jahangir Hajiyev, the former heads of the bank’s Central branch Anar Sultanov and Ilgar Abdullayev, the former director of Inter Security LLC Ibrahim Huseynov, the former head of the bank’s Central branch Yusif Alakbarov, the former head of the bank’s Transport Branch Kanan Orujov, the former head of the bank’s Narimanov Branch Mammad Jahangirov and the former director of the Baku hazelnut factory Azad Javadov, who are involved in the case, are charged under articles 179.3.1, 179.3.2 (embezzlement on a large scale by an organized group), 308.2 (abuse of power, resulting in grave consequences), 309.2 (abuse of power, resulting in grave crimes), 313 (official forgery), 228.1 and 228.4 (illegal storage and carrying of firearms).
