Currently, serious measures are carried out in the country to prevent corruption, said Chairman of the Legal Policies and State Structuring Committee of Milli Majlis, first Deputy Chairman of the Parliament of Azerbaijan Ali Huseynli to AZERTAC, e-hugug reports.

He said measures preventing corruption are carried out in two directions: “One of them is the preventive methods, as such providing the transparency in the activity of state bodies and other mechanisms. The second direction is criminal prosecution. Across the last years, several structural reforms are carried out in Azerbaijan to provide the transparency in the field of administration.

Mr. Huseynli also noted criminal prosecution should be implemented if serious incidents disturb and harm the public.

“Criminally obtained funds, material blessings should be confiscated according to legislation. The public and citizens support our President`s policy in this direction,” he concluded.
