to the global integrity index gix 2011 the anti corruption legislative framework of azerbaijan is strong 89 out of 100 however its implementation is very weak 38 out of 100 considering the powers that have been granted by law 29 the government of azerbaijan has also been accused of using corrupt practices to silence critics such as journalists activists and opposition figures for instance the economist and anti corruption activist gubad ibadoghlu was arrested in 2023 involving alleged counterfeiting and possession of religious extremist materials 30 the government had previously included ibadoghlu s nongovernmental group economic research center in a sweeping crackdown on civil society in 2014 31 this ngo conducted research on public finance management good governance and budget transparency 31 family of ilham aliyev edit aliyev and his wife mehriban aliyeva were described as the embodiment of nepotism and kleptocracy in azerbaijan 32 the aliyev family have enriched themselves through their ties to state run businesses they own significant parts of several major azerbaijani banks construction firms and telecommunications firms as well as partially own the country s oil and gas industries much of the wealth is hidden in offshore companies 33 the 2021 pandora papers leaks showed that the aliyev family built a vast offshore network to hide their money the family and their close associates have secretly been involved in property deals in the uk worth more than 700 million 34 35 in 2012 the organized crime and corruption reporting project called ilham aliyev the person of the year in organized crime and corruption 11 also in 2012 cnbc produced the film filthy rich about corruption which also mentioned the aliyev family 36 aliyev was also included on a list of figures others being the minister of emergency situations kamaladdin heydarov head of the presidential administration ramiz mehdiyev and first lady mehriban aliyeva accused of accepting bribes of 1 million from mp candidates to guarantee their election win and inclusion to the parliament this high level corruption scandal is widely called the gulargate 37 the long prison sentences for seven journalists from abzas media are widely seen as retaliation for the outlet s investigations into corruption in the family of ilham aliyev and his inner circle 38 political context and background timeline of corruption issues edit after the dissolution of the soviet union in late 1991 the transition period in azerbaijan was complicated and further prolonged by the inability of the national political elite to ensure the existence of key public institutions during 1991 1993 39 in addition during those years azerbaijan was forced to engage in military clashes with armenia over the region of nagorno karabakh 40 in 1993 as a result of the invasion by armenia azerbaijan lost 20 of its territory in the same year the united nations security council adopted four resolutions 822 853 874 and 884 which condemned the use of force against azerbaijan and the occupation of its territories 41 the un security council demanded from armenia the immediate complete and unconditional withdrawal of the occupying forces 41 as a result of the war with armenia the influx of more than one million refugees and internally displaced people had a devastating impact on both the social and economic situation in azerbaijan badalov and mehdi 2004 this tragic event shifted the priority of the country from building public institutions to accommodating internally displaced people idps and providing them with the necessary living standards 39 in addition the collapse of the soviet union caused economic paralysis in azerbaijan therefore the main priorities of the azerbaijani government were to divert all of its financial and political resources to safeguarding idps and to fighting against the invasion by armenia in the international legal arena 39 institutional arrangements and coordination mechanisms edit commission on combating corruption edit commission on combating corruption is set up according to the article 4 2 of the law of the republic of azerbaijan on fight against corruption
