Britain-based millionaire DJ cousin of Azerbaijani ruler arrested in Greece at ‘drug-fueled ‘tekno Berlin kinky’ party’ where she performed

A London-based cousin of Azerbaijan’s leader has been arrested during a raid on a party in Greece where she was performing as a DJ and was reportedly found with a cache of drugs and cash.

Izzat Javadova, who a police source claimed organized the party, was reportedly “found in a bedroom” with 45 packets of cocaine, ecstasy and crystal meth, and a safe containing more than 43,000 euros ($45,000).

The 44-year-old, known as DJ Mikaela Jav, told Greek TV channel ERT that she “didn’t organize the party” and “didn’t send any online invitations”, also insisting that police “didn’t have any drugs on me found’. .’

She described the event as a “tekno Berlin kinky party dedicated to love and music” and claimed the accusations were “an attack on LGBTQ people” that aimed to portray partygoers as drug users.

The British-Azerbaijani DJ was one of 13 people arrested on December 30 at the luxury villa in the town of Kalyvia, about 20 miles south of Athens, and has since been arrested on charges of aggravated drug trafficking.

Three off-duty police officers who provided security for the event and were also arrested have also been arrested but have not yet been charged as the investigation is ongoing, reports show.

Javadova, who holds a British passport, is the cousin of President Ilham Aliyev, the autocratic ruler of major oil and gas producer Azerbaijan.

The millionaire DJ’s late father, Jalal, was the brother of Aliyev’s father and presidential predecessor Heydar, as well as an oligarch and member of parliament in the country.

The British-Azerbaijani DJ was one of 13 people arrested on December 30 at the luxury villa in the town of Kalyvia, about 30 kilometers south of Athens.

Greek police have released a video of the raid on the luxury villa, showing packets of pills and powder on tables, as well as stacks of euros and DJ decks.

The owner of the luxury villa claimed that Javadova had paid the €1,000 deposit for the property and that the property had suffered significant damage. The times reports.

Testimonials from people who attended the event suggested it was a lavish, drug-fueled party, with invitations circulating through social media and personal connections.

Several defendants have reportedly admitted to possessing drugs for personal use but have denied drug trafficking.

Known for her party lifestyle, Javadova says on her professional profile that she moved to Britain at a young age and founded a promotional agency called Love The Underground Records.

She lives in a £4 million flat in Whitehall and is said to own a £5 million mansion overlooking the river in Richmond-upon-Thames.

The socialite is also described as a regular on the Balearic party island of Ibiza, where she reportedly owns a beach villa.

She and her husband Suleyman Javadov caused scandal after they were accused of profiting from a network of 20 shell companies based largely offshore in a £2.1 billion money laundering scheme nicknamed the ‘Azerbaijani Laundromat’.

The Javadovs had argued that their money came from a legitimate property empire and investments in “the most important vodka, cognac and champagne factory in Azerbaijan.”

They had argued for nearly two years to try the case in secret, with lawyers arguing that revealing their names would damage their reputations.

Their lawyers said at the time: ‘Our clients have legitimate business transactions and trusted that their money transfers were handled by the banks in accordance with the law.’

The pair struck a deal in 2021 to hand over £4 million, which was deemed the illicit proceeds of an Azerbaijani money laundering scheme.

The agreement to hand over the money did not amount to an admission or finding of liability or wrongdoing against the couple.

The NCA investigation involved cooperation from law enforcement partners in a number of countries, including Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Latvia and Spain.
