Azerbaijan's State Security Service has launched a criminal case into the illegal acts of human organ trafficking, forcing people into transplantation of human organs by a transnational network in contrast to the requirements of the Azerbaijani legislation on illegality of the sale and purchase of human organs, the State Service told APA.

As a result of the taken measures, the Service arrested Azerbaijani citizen Vahib Khudadatov, who committed various offenses against citizens and engaged, together with other persons, including citizens of foreign countries, in buying and selling organs of Azerbaijani citizens for transplantation in foreign countries.

Presently, investigation is underway.
