An Azerbaijani citizen, Telman Musa oglu Allahverdiyev, has been extradited from Georgia.

Axar.az reports, citing the Prosecutor General’s Office, that Georgia’s Ministry of Justice had granted the extradition request submitted by Azerbaijan’s Prosecutor General’s Office.

According to the statement, investigators found reasonable grounds to suspect Allahverdiyev of evading the payment of taxes, unemployment insurance contributions, compulsory health insurance contributions, and mandatory state social insurance payments in an especially large amount.

The criminal case is being investigated by the Investigation and Inquiry Department of the Main Directorate for Preliminary Investigation of Tax Crimes under the State Tax Service of the Ministry of Economy.

A decision was made to formally charge Allahverdiyev, who was subsequently placed on the wanted list after allegedly fleeing and going into hiding to evade the investigation.

He was detained in Georgia and brought to Azerbaijan by the relevant authorities of the Georgian Ministry of Justice.
