After a reception held under the guise of bioenergy treatment at the “Bİ ES VİP” aesthetic clinic by an individual of Uzbek nationality, the matter began to be discussed on a legal plane. The clinic reportedly had a "doctor" named Iqbol Soliyev, of Uzbek origin, known as "the owner of Bionur," who was said to treat patients with hand energy.
Lawyer Shamil Pashayev stated in his declaration to Modern.az that medical activity in Azerbaijan can only be carried out in the manner prescribed by law:
“According to the legal approach, a doctor operating in the Republic of Azerbaijan is considered a person who possesses a relevant seal and certificate and conducts medical activity with official permission.
If a person does not have the permission stipulated in the legislation to engage in medical activity, their 'treatment' of people in any location is considered an unlawful act.”
He stated that in such cases, the medical institution also bears responsibility:
“Thus, before allowing any person to conduct a reception, the clinic must verify their required documents and permits for medical activity. Furthermore, it must be investigated whether that person has the right to legally reside and operate in the territory of Azerbaijan. Receiving money from people under the guise of treating them with 'energy,' 'bioenergy,' or similar methods can be assessed as an act of fraud. If it is determined that the clinic acted in collusion with that person and presented them as a doctor, then the responsibility may be further aggravated."
The lawyer stated that in such a situation, a criminal case could be initiated against the clinic's management under Articles 308 - “Abuse of official powers” and 32 - “Complicity in a crime” of the Criminal Code.
Additionally, the p that issues licenses for the clinic's operation can conduct an investigation into the matter and take measures in accordance with the legislation.
