The preliminary investigation period in the criminal case of Lieutenant Colonel Gahraman Mammadov, who was detained while transporting 70 kg of gold bars from the airport of Istanbul, Turkey, to a hotel, has been extended due to the scale of the investigation.
As reported by Oxu.Az with reference to Qafqazinfo, the Main Investigation Department of the State Security Service (SSS) of Azerbaijan filed a petition to the court to extend the arrest period for additional investigative measures.
The court granted the petition, taking into account the volume of procedural actions carried out within the framework of mutual legal assistance with law enforcement agencies of Turkey, as well as the need to establish additional circumstances in the case. As a result, the period of detention of G. Mammadov was extended for another three months.
