Information was received by the police in Baku regarding the appropriation of a large sum of money from a victim through fraud.
According to Modern.az, 36-year-old Rufat Gasimzade and 37-year-old Mammad Mammadzade, implicated in the act, were detained through measures carried out by employees of the Police Department for Water Transport.
Investigations revealed that R.Gasimzade, with the aim of appropriating another's property, entered into a criminal conspiracy in prior collusion with his acquaintance M.Mammadzade. He gained the victim's trust by informing them that he had extensive connections and was engaged in the sale of gold and jewelry. Subsequently, the detained individuals, under the guise of engaging in the sale of gold and jewelry, received a total of 317,500 manats from the victim at various times and divided that amount among themselves. As a result, they committed fraud by causing significant damage to the victim.
In his statement, the victim stated that he last handed over a portion of the money to these individuals in the area of the Baku Sea Terminal. For this reason, the investigation into the case was conducted by the Police Department for Water Transport.
Regarding the incident, a criminal case was initiated against R.Gasimzade and M.Mammadzade under Article 178.3.2 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan (fraud committed by causing significant damage), and both individuals were brought in for investigation as accused persons.
Investigations are ongoing.
