The detention period has been extended for Zahireddin Ibrahimov, born in 1954, who was found guilty of committing treason by residing in the territory of a third country and carrying out tasks assigned by the intelligence services of another country, as well as of actions coordinated with them aimed at inciting ethnic hatred and enmity within the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, APA reports.

This was ensured through measures carried out by the State Security Service (SSS) to bring him to criminal liability in Azerbaijan.

The presentation submitted by the investigative body was reviewed at the Sabail District Court, and by the court’s decision, Zahiraddin Ibrahimov’s detention period was extended for 5 months.

Note that Zahiraddin Ibrahimov was arrested in March of this year under the criminal case initiated by the SSS.

It has been determined that Zahiraddin Ibrahimov, in exchange for material interest, was involved in secret cooperation and carried out tasks assigned by foreign special services that harmed the sovereignty, territorial integrity, state security, and defense capability of the Republic of Azerbaijan, conducting large-scale, destructive separatist organizational activities.

He has been charged under Articles 274 (treason against the state), 281.3 (public calls against the state at the instruction of foreign organizations and their representatives), and 283.1 (acts aimed at inciting national hatred and hostility) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
