The Maltese lawyer Pio Valletta has been ordered to pay €300,000 in compensation to the widow of Kazakh oligarch Rakhat Aliyev, Elnara Shorazova. He had served as the couple's lawyer when they lived in Malta. Aliyev died in an Austrian jail cell in 2015 in what was deemed to be a suicide. In her court case, Shorazova recalled that she had transferred €2.4m to Valletta in 2010, with instructions that it should be deposited in a bank account in the name of A&P Power Ltd, a offshore company.
