Trial of defendants in Toplum TV case begins

A trial was held in the criminal case against Alesker Mammadli, Akif Gurbanov, Ramil Babayev, Ali Zeynalov, Mushfig Jabbarov, Ilkin Amrakhov and Ruslan Izzetli, defendants in the Toplum TV case. According to Report, the personal data of the defendants was clarified at the preparatory hearing in the Baku Grave Crimes Court chaired by Judge Azer Taghiyev.

Then petitions were filed asking to release several defendants under house arrest, but the court did not grant these petitions.

The preparatory hearing was postponed until April 24, as Akif Gurbanov’s lawyer Fuad Agayev did not familiarize himself with the criminal case.

The defendants were detained on March 6, 2024.
