French football club fans demand to initiate investigation against Azerbaijani oligarch and owner of the club
Hafiz Mamedov, Azerbaijani oligarch and companion of Transport Minister Ziya Mamedov may face the French justice, and will have to tell about the origin of the immense wealth that allowed him to buy one of the legendary brands in France, reports the Azerbaijani news portal "Haqqin.az."
The article notes that Hafiz Mamedov remains the "favorite" of the French media. Thus, the French sports columnist Germain Arrigoni, commenting on birthday congratulation videos of Hafiz Mamedov said that the French football club "Lance" sags under its new owner - Azerbaijani oligarch Hafiz Mamedov.
"Hafka" with no remorse uses all the investments made to the club for its PR. By watching the video, where the club congratulates its president, I do not know whether to laugh or to cry," the journalist writes in his blog.
As noted in the material, fans of the club support the journalist and offer to start collecting signatures for dismissal of Hafiz Mamedov of his administrative position at the club. Another part of the fans writes that law enforcement agencies of France urgently need to initiate an investigation against Hafiz Mamedov and to verify its activities in money laundering.
The site also notes that in the comments to the photos posted on the Eurosport.fr website, where "Lance" team captain Papin congratulates Hafiz Mamedov, bloggers recall Stalin's personality cult. Also, a French tabloid “belIN SPORT”, touching the dark sides of the biography of Hafiz Mamedov, writes that he is guarded by 18 bodyguards, and his motorcade consists of luxurious "Mercedes" cars.
"The law enforcements in France closely monitor any attempts of dirty money laundering in the country. And suddenly Azerbaijan oligarch who has gained unprecedented glory and hundreds of millions can be detected by them," Haqqin.az notes.
