Ahliman Zeinalov, an Azerbaijani citizen who was released early from prison where he served a sentence for drug crimes, was sent back to his home country at the end of January 2018, the daily Postimees reports, cites LETA/BNS.
On Jan. 5 the Viru county court decided to release him from prison and to
send him to Azerbaijan where his family lives, Postimees reported, quoting the

several restaurants in Tallinn.
