As we reported yesterday, a criminal case has been initiated against Zaur Akhundov, the president of the Azerbaijan Futsal Federation (AFF).
Medianews.az, citing "Qafqazinfo," reports that a decision has already been made regarding the federation president.
By the decision of the Baku Military Court, Zaur Akhundov has been placed under house arrest as a preventive measure.
The judge accepted the prosecutor's request due to the accused having a permanent residence and the improbability of fleeing the investigation.
For information, house arrest is considered a direct alternative preventive measure to detention. This measure is applied on the condition that the accused does not leave their place of residence and abides by other restrictions.
It should be noted that Zaur Akhundov has been held criminally liable by the Chief Prosecutor's Office's Main Department for Combating Corruption. He has been charged under Article 179.4 of the Criminal Code (embezzlement - especially when committed on a large scale).
Z.Akhundov's brother, Ramin Akhundov, who is the head of the "Araz-Nakhchivan" football club, is wanted in connection with a criminal case related to cigarette smuggling.
