The facts that she has minor child, her social activities and election as an MP for three terms should be taken into account as mitigating circumstances, the amount of damage caused to the property should be determined by the court.

The prosecutor noted that the accused person should serve her sentence in jail.
Ahmadova’s lawyer Afsar Talibov asked court for time as he wasn’t ready for the speech.

The process will be continued on November 21.

Gular Ahmadova repudiated from her mandate as MP due to the scandal video released by former rector of Azerbaijan International University Elshad Abdullayev in September last year. Gular Ahmedova was sentenced to pretrial detention on February 13. Later, this term was doubled.

Ahmadova faced charges under article 178.3.2 (acquisition of another property by abusing of trust) and 307.2 (hiding grave crime without promising in advance) of the Criminal Code.
