Hearing The Awful Tales of Aliyevs Crimes

I think this is an interesting story where one can learn of the awful crimes committed.

An Austrian court began hearing witnesses in a kidnapping case involving Rakhat Aliyev, the former son-in-law of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, a group representing the victims said.
"It's a great progress, we hope this procedure will lead to a trial in Austria or more likely to an extradition to serve the sentence in Kazakhstan," a spokesman for the NGO Tagdyr Foundation.
A court in Almaty sentenced Aliyev in absentia in January 2008 to 20 years in jail for kidnapping three senior Kazakh bank officials and murdering two of them, Joldas Timraliyev and Aibar Khasenov.
Aliyev, the former Kazakh ambassador to Austria, always maintained his innocence and Vienna refused to extradite him in August 2007 on the grounds that he would not be given a fair trial at home.
Tuesday however, the Vienna prosecutor's office decided to hear Timraliyev's wife Armangul Kapasheva, as well as Abilmazhen Gilimov, who has accused Aliyev of kidnapping, and Adonis Derbas, a Canadian national and former associate of Aliyev's, the Tagdyr Foundation said.
The prosecution refused to confirm or deny any of this information to AFP, saying it did not wish to comment on the case at this stage.
Aliyev was also handed a 20-year jail sentence in absentia last March for organising a coup in Kazakhstan.
But the former deputy foreign minister and ambassador, who was often in conflict with his father-in-law, claimed he was the victim of a political witch-hunt designed to crush his chances of running in the 2012 presidential elections.
Aliyev was divorced from Nazarbayev's daughter in 2007.
