According to the Prosecutor General's Office, previously three

the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Azerbaijan due
to newly detected circumstances based on the appeal of the
prosecutor's office.
The decisions on the above criminal cases were canceled, and the
cases were returned to the relevant courts.
Then the decisions in these cases were canceled by the
respective courts and returned to the prosecutor, who was in charge
of the procedural guidance of the preliminary investigation.
During the further investigation, all circumstances related to
the criminal prosecution were thoroughly, fully, and objectively
investigated, and since the guilt of these persons on charges of
high treason wasn't proven, the proceeding is carried out on
acquittal grounds (Article 39.2 of the Criminal Procedure Code of
