A trial over an individual accused of swindle by using names of SOCAR (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan) high-ranking officials has begun.
Today Serious Crimes Court held a preparatory hearing on Nakhchivan resident Tofig Akberov. The judicial review is scheduled for April 26.
The accused is charged with Article 178.3.2 (swindle causing large damage) of the Criminal Code.
Akberov took Baku resident Fazil Rustamov's 110,000 manat, promising him to sell the land area of one hectare, located on the balance of SOCAR in the Binagadi village of the Binagadi district.
