A suspect in the embezzlement of 445,000 manats extradites from Turkey to Azerbaijan

In accordance with the requirements of the Extradition Convention of December 13, 1957, the extradition request of Azerbaijani citizen Zinyat Safarova, filed by the Prosecutor General’s Office, was granted by the competent authorities of Turkey, Oxu.Az reports, citing the Prosecutor General’s Office of Azerbaijan.

According to the information, during the preliminary investigation, the Anti-Corruption Main Directorate under the Prosecutor General’s Office established reasonable suspicion that Z. Safarova, while working as the director of an LLC, embezzled more than 445,000 manats belonging to another LLC and laundered these funds.

Consequently, a decision was made to prosecute her on charges of large-scale embezzlement and money laundering. Since Z. Safarova was hiding from the investigation, she was placed on the international wanted list through Interpol. Following an operational search, the woman was detained in Turkey.

The Ministry of Justice’s Penitentiary Service is taking steps to bring Z. Safarova to Azerbaijan.
