During a live broadcast on Reaksiya TV, journalist Kamran Hasanli voiced a series of high-profile assumptions regarding the so-called “Mehdiyev case,” the discovery of large sums of cash, and the possible political implications of the unfolding events.
In the discussion, Hasanli said the reported amount of cash raises serious questions and does not fit ordinary explanations for personal savings kept outside the banking system. In his view, such volumes of physical money could point to more complex mechanisms than private financial accumulation.
He argued that developments surrounding the Mehdiyev case should be viewed more broadly than a routine anti-corruption investigation. On air, he suggested the process may be linked to deeper political shifts inside the country.
The hosts also noted the limited amount of official information available so far, meaning much of the public debate relies on indirect signals and open-source material rather than confirmed findings.
Hasanli further said the investigation could potentially expand to involve a wider circle of individuals, though no public confirmation of this currently exists.
The discussion concluded with the suggestion that the case may represent an important stage in the country’s internal political transformation, while final judgments will depend on future official decisions and the disclosure of verified facts.
Background:
The case concerns Ramiz Mehdiyev, the former head of the Presidential Administration and ex-president of the National Academy of Sciences. Criminal charges were previously brought against him under serious articles, including an attempted violent change of the constitutional order and money laundering.
A court placed him under house arrest, which was later extended, and the case remains one of the most high-profile legal proceedings in the country in recent years.
