Knife defendant fails to show up as he is 'detoxing in Azerbaijan'
Summary
Ramin Badalov, of Oakdale Park, pleaded guilty in January to producing a large kitchen knife during a dispute in south Dublin on 12 March 2019. He was remanded on continuing bail but failed to attend his sentencing. His lawyers claimed he was unaware of the date and that he was detoxing in Azerbaijan, where treatment is cheaper.
