Ramin Isayev arrested in Connection with “International Bank Case”
15.07.2023 15:17
The main accusation against him is related to the embezzlement of a loan previously obtained from Azerbaijan International Bank OJSC.

According to Yenicag.az, reports have been spread by the country’s media in recent days regarding the arrest of Ramin Isayev, who has held managerial positions in various companies. According to the reports, a criminal case has been initiated against him under Article 179.4 (embezzlement on a large scale) of the Criminal Code by the Anti-Corruption General Directorate with Prosecutor General’s Office. Ramin Isayev is accused of embezzling 16 million manats.

By the decision of Binagadi District Court, he has been placed in pretrial detention for 4 months.

As it is known, investigations into the troubled assets of Azerbaijan International Bank OJSC have been ongoing for many years. After the arrest of Jahangir Hajiyev, the Chairman of the Bank’s Board of Directors, many businessmen who were involved in criminal activities with the bank’s leadership have also been held accountable. Based on the information received by the news agency, Ramin Isaev’s arrest is also linked to the embezzlement of a loan acquired from the International Bank of Azerbaijan OJSC between 2012 and 2014 by a company connected to the Baghlan Group, where he held a position of the de-facto director during that period.

There are substantial facts in the investigation regarding the loan, amounting to 16 million manats, that was taken by Ramin Isayev for "embezzlement purposes” and was not returned.

It has also been revealed that during the investigation into the activities of Azerbaijan International Bank OJSC, law enforcement agencies conducted investigations into Ramin Isayev’s activities. To evade responsibility and liability, Ramin Isayev left the country and obtained Turkish citizenship in mid-2022, changing his surname from Isayev to Hakan, and was officially referred to as Ramin Ali Hakan in official documents.

It should be noted that Ramin Isayev is also known for his scandalous past. He was previously dismissed from his position as the Regional Business Development Manager at KCA Deutag due to his inability to fulfill his duties. After that, he began threatening the company’s management. He sent various letters to the British and US ambassadors, attempting to discredit the management of KCA Deutag in Azerbaijan.
