Azerbaijani opposition politician Qubad Ibadoglu was detained on July 23 on a charge of counterfeiting after police claimed they found forged bills worth $40,000 in his abandoned apartment in Baku. Ibadoglu rejected the charge, saying he had nothing to do with the fake money, his lawyer Zibeyda Sadiqova told RFE/RL. The chairman of the Azerbaijan Democracy and Welfare Party, Ibadoglu, who for many years has lived abroad, announced last month along with several other Azerbaijani politicians and activists in exile the creation in London of the Education Foundation for Azerbaijani Youth.
