Zamira Hajiyeva's mansion and golf club to be seized

As Azeri Daily has reported earlier, a diamond ring worth £1.1m and belonging to Zamira Hajiyeva has been seized by the British National Crime Agency in a case involving the UK's first Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO). The Cartier piece, originally bought by Azerbaijani banker Jahangir Hajiyev, has been held by investigators as they work to establish how it was paid for.

As reports Bracknell News, two UWOs were granted against the financier's wife Zamira Hajiyeva - who owns Mill Ride Golf Club - concerning properties worth a total of £22 million under so-called McMafia laws.

Hajiyeva has refused requests to explain the source of her extraordinary wealth.

If she continues to fail to reveal the origin of her fortune, the courts could seize her properties including a £11.5m five-bedroom home in Knightsbridge and a £10.5m golf and country club in Ascot.
