Two high-ranking officials from the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry’s financial service have recently been arrested on charges of embezzlement. Jabrail Orujev and Vahid Novruzlu, who were working in different military units, were brought in as defendants in an ongoing criminal case by the State Security Service.
Reports from Azerbaijani media indicate that both Orujev and Novruzlu are facing charges under Article 179.4 of the Criminal Code for embezzlement on a large scale. They have been arrested for a period of 4 months due to allegations of misappropriating a significant sum of money.
This latest development adds to the growing list of corruption cases within the Azerbaijani government, highlighting the need for greater accountability and transparency in financial matters. The arrests signal a strong stance against corruption and serve as a warning to those who may be involved in fraudulent activities.
