National security committee head to turn to international organisations over possible links between Azeri funds, extradition
Change language:
The head of parliament’s national security committee on Monday said he would turn to the European Union’s law enforcement agency and the European Banking Authority (EBA) over possible links between the 2012 extradition of an Azeri soldier who had killed an Armenian citizen in Hungary and the alleged transfer of funds to a Hungarian bank account.
Zsolt Molnár of the opposition Socialists told a press conference that he would contact Europol through Interior Minister Sándor Pintér, adding that the case in question concerned a number of other European countries.
Molnár noted that he had earlier turned to the interior minister and heads of the national security services, the central bank and the tax office to enquire about the 2012 extradition of Ramil Sahib Safarov and whether it was in any way linked to a transfer of funds to Hungary.
He said authorities were making little progress in their investigations of the case, suggesting that
they could be trying to “sabotage” the investigations.
