Measures are being continued by police officers against the malicious dissemination of false information with extortionate intent.
Thus, based on complaints received about demanding money from various enterprises and facilities by presenting himself as an employee of one of the television channels broadcast in the country, 34-year-old Shahriyar Hasanov was apprehended in the territory of Lankaran city.
Investigations have determined that he contacted responsible persons of enterprises and organizations, claiming to be preparing a report that would damage their business reputation, and demanded various sums of money in exchange for not broadcasting such materials on television and social media.
Investigations and other measures related to Sh. Hasanov's illegal actions are ongoing.
