The third Safarov was arrested by the court in Yekaterinburg

The third person involved in the case, detained on suspicion of involvement in the murders that occurred in Yekaterinburg in the early 2000s, Ayaz Safarov was arrested by a court decision in Yekaterinburg

He, like Mazakhir and Akif Safarov, was sentenced by the court to a preventive measure in the form of arrest for a period of 22 days.

The FSB detained the Safarovs and six other Azerbaijani citizens on June 27. Two people died during searches and detentions. Today, on June 29, a trial is being held against the detainees.

Akif Safarov is the director of the Kaspiy Cafe. Two of the media who died during the arrests are called the owners of this cafe — these are brothers Zieddin and Huseyn Safarov. They are considered the main suspects in the murder of the merchant Yunis Pashayev, who was stabbed with kitchen knives in 2001.

As EADaily reported, against the background of criminal proceedings, a crisis began in interstate relations. A Russian attorney was summoned to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, Baku canceled all cultural events through the Russian line, and the planned visit of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk to Azerbaijan was canceled. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that all the answers in the case will be given by the Investigative Committee of Russia.
