Ahmad Alizada, the son of MP Arzukh Alizada, has also been charged in connection with a mass brawl at a cafe in Baku.
“Operative Information Center-OMM” reports that six articles of the Criminal Code have been brought against A. Alizada.
More specifically, A. Alizada has been charged under Articles 218.1 and 218.2 (participation in a criminal association or organization), Articles 234.4.1 and 234.4.3, and Articles 29, 234.4.1 and 29, 234.4.3 of the Criminal Code. The latter provisions concern drug-related offences committed by a group acting in prior collusion or by an organized group, as well as the illegal trafficking of drugs on a large scale.
The case was referred to the Baku Court of Appeal after judges of the Khatai District Court recused themselves.
The judges recused themselves because Ahmad Alizada’s brother, Orkhan Alizada, is also a judge at the same court.
The Court of Appeal ruled that the request for pretrial detention should be considered by the Nizami District Court.
The Nizami District Court ordered Ahmad Alizada’s pretrial detention for four months.
