Controversy over state-share privatization
The referenced account describes allegations that state shares in Azercell were transferred at a substantial discount to companies connected through offshore structures to the family of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. It reports an estimated public loss of at least $600 million. The allegations concern the privatization and ownership process and should be read as reported claims rather than an independently verified financial finding.
