General Natiq Aliyev’s daughter detained on fraud suspicion

Mediator Turkar Aliyeva, daughter of Major General Natiq Aliyev, has been detained.

“Operative Information Center-OMM” reports, citing Qafqazinfo, that the general’s daughter is suspected of large-scale fraud and influence peddling.

According to the allegations, Turkar Aliyeva received a large sum of money from a person on the pretext of helping to register a plot of land. She was detained as a suspect by the prosecutor’s office following a citizen’s complaint and has been under investigative supervision since last night.

The complainant alleges that she took a large sum of money from him, claiming she could help register the land plot.

No court ruling has yet been issued in her case. If she is formally charged, she will be brought before a judge during the day.

Article 178.4 of the Criminal Code, under which Aliyeva is suspected, concerns fraud involving particularly large amounts and applies to damage exceeding 500,000 manats. The offence is punishable by 10 to 14 years in prison.

Turkar Aliyeva is the daughter of Major General Natiq Aliyev, who served as head of the Defense Ministry’s Central Army Sports Club and later as head of the medical service at the same ministry.

The general’s daughter has been in the media spotlight over various controversies for some time. Recently, she alleged that the head of the State Register of Real Estate’s Absheron Territorial Department No. 4 and an employee had acted unlawfully and insulted her. The department head was later dismissed.
