SOCAR’s got a lot to hide 3 weeks ago Azerbaijan’s State oil company didn’t want to share banking info with Latvian police in case Malta found out about it. SOCAR objected to Latvia’s attempts to obtain information on transactions that Dubai-based SOCAR Trading DMCC made through a Swiss bank in 2017 because “in future Malta will open proceedings against it for these facts”. Not ‘may open proceedings’ but “will”. They have more faith in the Maltese authorities than we do, but they’re clearly intent on covering their arses for something. We may soon find out what it is.
