A banker’s wife targeted under “McMafia laws” after splashing out £16 million at Harrods has been given back her multi-million pound jewellery collection by law enforcers despite having to surrender her Knightsbridge home and a golf club on the grounds that they were bought with the proceeds of crime.
The National Crime Agency had argued in court for years that Zamira Hajiyeva’s jewellery collection – which includes a £1.2 million Cartier ring and further pieces worth six figure sums – and two properties were acquired with money plundered by her husband Jahangir from his bank in Azerbaijan.
