Baku: New facts exposing former prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno Ocampo, have emerged.
According to Azeri-Press News Agency, citing Minval Politika, the material and video footage released yesterday once again revealed the backstage of a large-scale and systematic information campaign against Azerbaijan. This campaign is not about individual statements or simple political gestures, but about a systematic infrastructure of influence and pressure involving Western platforms, diaspora networks, and financial resources from Russia.
The key figure in this process is former ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo. In the published video materials, he confirms his participation in the campaign against Baku and mentions having connections within European institutions, including former head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell and his circle. However, the most notable aspect is the financial basis of this activity.
New video footage obtained by Minval Politika shows that the campaign is financed by a group consisting of Russian-Armenian representatives, with a special fund created for sustained information pressure. Ocampo admits that he initially received funding from Armenian sources, which later involved more structured channels. Wealthy Armenian diaspora representatives, some living in Russia, are engaged in this process. Anonymity is key for participants to avoid problems with Russia.
In this context, the range of possible beneficiaries becomes clearer. Businessman Samvel Karapetyan may act as a source of financing, having previously supported illegal activities in Azerbaijan’s occupied territories. Additionally, Ruben Vardanyan has been involved, with his foundation continuing its activities directed against Baku despite his detention in the city.
New materials indicate that these practices have transformed from creating ‘facts on the ground’ to focusing on information and political pressure. A comprehensive ecosystem has formed where finance, media, political connections, and international institutions operate as a unified mechanism.
Ocampo’s admission regarding timelines reveals that his team’s funding is secured at least until May, indicating a planned campaign. Notably, May marks the final stage of Armenia’s parliamentary election campaign, suggesting external information attacks and interference in internal affairs. Video footage shows Ocampo’s son admitting that one campaign goal is to overthrow Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
This reveals a deeply rooted system directed against Azerbaijan and regional stability. The joint activity of Western institutions, financial flows from Russia, and diaspora structures highlights the multi-layered nature of this campaign. Materials published by Minval Politika expose a mechanism that remained in the shadows, revealing concrete, financed, and pragmatic activity involving corruption money.
This story demonstrates the degradation of a once well-known prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, now serving hybrid attacks involving European structures and Armenian oligarchs in Russia, such as Karapetyan and Vardanyan. Further details on this individual will be covered in the next material.
