  • BAKU: Former minister was informed of criminal group

    Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan

    Former minister was informed of criminal group

    Baku, March 16, AssA-Irada

    The law enforcement bodies had been aware of the criminal group led
    by Haji Mammadov for four years, President Ilham Aliyev said in a
    meeting with the National Security Ministry representatives on
    Wednesday.
    The criminal group, involved in kidnappings, murders and other
    crimes, has recently been detained by the Ministry.
    Aliyev said that in 2001, the Prosecutor General instructed the then
    National Security Minister Namig Abbasov to conduct an operation and
    investigate the suspicions concerning the criminal group and its
    leader. However, no steps were taken in that direction then, the
    President said.
    `If the National Security Ministry had taken the matter seriously
    then, numerous crimes could have been prevented.'
    Speaking of the tasks of security agencies, President Aliyev noted
    that until recently the Ministry has not carried out much work over
    the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Upper Garabagh, which is of
    great importance.
    `I issued relevant instructions to Eldar Mahmudov when appointing him
    to the position. He conducted a research and found out that this area
    of the Ministry's activity is on a low level.'*
