HAJI MAMMADOV: IF I HAD KNOWN RICH ALI INSANOV, I WOULD HAVE KIDNAPPED HIM

Court hearing on the appeal against the verdict on Haji Mammadov,
gang leader, former official of Crime Investigation Department of
Interior Ministry and other members of the gang, who face charges of
brutal manslaughters, kidnapping and other serious crimes continued
in the second half of the day in Baku Appeals Court.
APA reports that Haji Mammadov gave testimony on the case of kidnapping
of chief of Azersigorta State Company Mammad Mammadov's son Ahmad
Mammadov.
"I should have kidnapped Mammad Mammadov, not his son. Then I would
have got more money. Mammad Mammadov says everywhere that Haji Mammadov
ruined him. No one in the world took money twice for kidnapping a
man. But I did it," he said.
Haji Mammadov commented on former Health Minister Ali Insanov's
statement that he is held in National security Ministry.
"Ali Insanov says Haji Mammadov has been held in National Security
Ministry for two and a half years, while he is sent to Bayil. Ali
Insanov took money from the poor. I never robbed the poor. If I had
known rich Ali Insanov, I would have kidnapped him and demanded a
lot of money," he said.
Haji Mammadov also commented on ex-interior minister Isgandar Hamidov's
reports about him.
"He has no right to call me a coward. Why did Rovshan Javadov beat
him, if he was so brave? I have not sold Karabakh. I have committed
crimes and admit all of them," he said.
Haji Mammadov said he several times tried to commit suicide.
"I tried to commit suicide. I do not know whether I will come here
tomorrow or not. I tried to hang myself a few days after my arrest
and I was in comatose state for two days," he said.
Haji Mammadov also mentioned Javadaga Sultanov, former deputy chief
of Baku Main Police Office.
"There were two criminal gangs in Azerbaijan. Every time when Javadaga
Sultanov was dismissed for his shortcomings, I thought he would be
arrested, but on the contrary he was promoted. He will possibly be
promoted again," Mammadov said.
Haji Mammadov said he writes book about his life.
Judge put off the trial, as Haji Mammadov's lawyer Samad Aliyev
missed it.
The process will continue on October 10.
The Court of Grave Crimes sentenced Haji Mammadov, Musa Dabiyev, Eldar
Rehimov, Farhad Mammadbeyov, Aslanbek Chintamirov, Malik Mammadov,
Husain Abdulvahabov (with confiscation of property), Zakir Nasirov
(with confiscation of property, deprival of state title and awards),
Kamil Sedreddinov (with confiscation of property, deprival of state
title) and Yagir Mammadov to life imprisonment.
Other defendants - Nizami Abdullayev (confiscation of property),
Sidek Abdulvahabov, Rovshen Agayev were sentenced to 15 years,
Naile Guliyeva (with confiscation of property) to 13 years, Edalet
Asadullayev, Novruz Nuriyev to 12 years, Aligulu Guliyev, Nishad
Ismayilov (with confiscation of property) to 10 years, Faig Guliyev,
Elchin Aliyev (with confiscation of property) to 9 years, Mehman
Hasanov, Fariz Hamidov, Elshen Mirzayev to 8 years in jail. Agil
Huseynov got two-year suspended sentence (on condition not to hold
any post). Azer Huseynov also got two-year suspended sentence. /APA/
