Wife of jailed banker, named as subject of 'McMafia' order

The wife of a jailed Azerbaijani banker can be revealed as the subject of the UK's first unexplained wealth orders.

Mrs Hajiyeva was issued with the first two unexplained wealth orders (UWOs) to be obtained by the National Crime Agency against two properties worth £22m in total.

One relates to her £11.5m Knightsbridge home - within walking distance of Harrods where Mrs Hajiyeva was given three separate loyalty cards - which was bought in 2009 by a company registered in the British Virgin Islands.

Mrs Hajiyeva risks losing her property unless she can explain where the money used to purchase it originated from.
