    Ilham Aliyev, the President of Azerbaijan, has won the first ever
    Organized Crime and Corruption Person of the Year bestowed by the
    Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). The award is
    given for the person who figured prominently in 2012 on stories on
    crime and corruption in its coverage area. Aliyev was chosen because
    of new revelations this year about how his family had taken large
    shares in lucrative industries including the telecom, minerals and
    construction industries often through government related deals.

    The award is chosen by the 60 reporters and 15 news organizations that
    make up the OCCRP consortium. Runners-up included Albanian drug lord
    Naser Kelmendi, President of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov and Russian
    President Vladimir Putin.
