A jailed banker whose big spending wife is fighting “McMafia law” efforts to seize her £3 million jewels is deliberately obstructing the National Crime Agency from his prison cell in Baku, a court has been told as proceedings against the couple’s allegedly “dirty money” enter a sixth year.
The NCA claims that lavish jewellery, including a £1.2 million Cartier ring, bought by Zamira Hajiyeva during a spending spree which included splashing out £16 million at Harrods, was acquired using money plundered by her husband Jahangir from the Azeri bank where he worked.
