Zamira Hajiyeva
Zamira Hajiyeva (Azerbaijani: Zamirə Şirəli qızı Hacıyeva) (born 18 July 1963) is an Azerbaijani woman, resident in the United Kingdom. In 2018 she became the first recipient of an unexplained wealth order under a new UK anti-corruption law. She was known as "Mrs A" during the legal proceedings before her identity was revealed.[1]
It was disclosed in court that Hajiyeva had spent £16.3 million at London's upmarket department store Harrods between 2006 and 2016, purchased a five-bedroom house in Walton Street, Knightsbridge, close to Harrods, for £11.5 million in 2009, and spent £10.5 million on the purchase of the 170-acre Mill Ride golf and country club in Ascot, Berkshire – expenditure which the British authorities say is out of keeping with her husband's official salary. On 30 October 2018 she was arrested by British police acting on an extradition request from the Azerbaijani government.

Early life and family[edit]
Zamira Hajiyeva was born on 18 July 1963. During her first marriage, she had a daughter,[2] Leyla. In 1997 she married Jahangir Hajiyev, later the chairman of the state-owned International Bank of Azerbaijan from 2001 to March 2015. In October 2016, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of fraud, embezzlement, and misappropriation of public funds.[1] The fraud is as much as £2.2 billion.[3]
The couple have two sons.[4] Leyla was recorded in court documents as having a £15 million share portfolio[5] and is married to Anar Mahmudov, the son of Eldar Mahmudov, Azerbaijan's former Security Minister.[6][7]
Kidnapping[edit]
In February 2005, Hajiyeva was kidnapped as she left the Magic Lady beauty salon in Baku, and held to ransom. Azerbaijan media and the BBC reported that the kidnap was carried out by the police officer Haji Mammadov (Hacı Məmmədov), chief operating officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his bodyguard who were part of a criminal gang.[8][9][10] During an operation in March that year codenamed Black Belt, which resulted in Hajiyeva's release, gunshots were fired and at least one person died.[11] Mammadov claimed during his trial in 2006 that he was acting on the orders of Zakir Nasirov, head of the Interior Ministry's Chief Criminal Investigation Department.[8]
Move to Britain[edit]
Hajiyeva was granted permission to live in the United Kingdom by the Home Office under an investor visa.[1] She applied for indefinite leave to remain in 2015 and may now be a British citizen.[2]
In 2016, she was placed under arrest in absentia by an Azerbaijan court in connection with her husband's activities.[12][13]
Unexplained wealth order[edit]
Since arriving in the UK, Hajiyeva has spent significant sums of money that the British authorities say are out of keeping with her husband's official salary. In 2018, she became the first person to receive an unexplained wealth order under a new UK anti-corruption law,[1] and has to provide a "clear account" of the source of her spending, which included:
- Spending £16.3 million between 2006 and 2016 at London's upmarket department store Harrods.[1][3]
- Purchasing a five-bedroom house in Walton Street, Knightsbridge, close to Harrods, for £11.5 million using a British Virgin Islands company in 2009.[3][5]
- Spending £10.5 million on the purchase of the 170-acre Mill Ride golf and country club in Ascot, Berkshire.[3][5]
- The purchase of £100,000 worth of Cartier jewellery.[1]
- Spending $42 million on a Gulfstream G550 jet.[1]
Hajiyeva has been in custody since 30 October 2018, after being arrested by the British police acting on an extradition request from the Azerbaijani authorities in connection with two charges of embezzlement.[14][15]
