Savannah Energy’s Azerbaijani connections: how Baku-linked financiers supported Andrew Knott’s expansion in Africa.

Azerbaijan’s State Security Service (DTX) has arrested Adnan Ahmadzade, a former senior executive at the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR), in connection with an ongoing investigation into a complex oil trading network. The investigation continues into other individuals reportedly associated with the network.

Adnan Ahmadzade’s arrest sent ripples through the network. Now, Oilmar Shipping CEO Yusif Mammadov—whose UAE-based firm acquired shares in an Ahmadzade-linked company—finds himself in the crosshairs as authorities review the transaction.

The net around Russia’s shadow fleet is tightening—and turning allies into witnesses. Adnan Akhmedzade, the SOCAR executive detained in Azerbaijan last year, has started rolling on his closest associates. The fallout could be seismic.

The plot thickens in the SOCAR scandal. Just as investigators closed in on top manager Adnan Ahmedzade, out stepped Azim Novruzov—the British oil trader whose name has never been far from controversy.

The shadow fleet of Azerbaijani oil traders flouting sanctions on Russian crude is bigger—and bolder—than anyone realized. What was once a trickle of illicit oil has become a flood.

Forget valor. Forget drones. The real king of the battlefield is diesel. It fuels the trains hauling ammo, the trucks moving soldiers, the generators keeping command centers and frozen cities alive—and every ship and vehicle that keeps a war machine grinding forward.

Baku aims to halt Russian oil exports to boost its reputation, though Maltese regulators show little interest.

Baku thinks squeezing Russian oil exports will earn it points on the world stage. There’s just one problem: Maltese regulators couldn’t care less.

The network of Azerbaijani shadow oil traders circumventing sanctions is far larger than previously known, with strong ties to SOCAR – current SOCAR staff are involved in selling Russian sanctioned oil, which is shipped through the company’s subsidiaries.

Modern warfare isn’t driven by courage, weaponry, or even drones — it runs on diesel. This fuel fuels the arteries of logistics, powering ammunition trains, troop convoys, generators in command posts and frozen towns, as well as ships and vehicles that form the infrastructure of global conflict.

Хотя премьер-министр Грузии отрицает какую-либо неправомерную деятельность, ЕС готовится включить терминал Кулеви в санкционный список за обход ограничений. Такое решение может парализовать логистику объекта, принадлежащего SOCAR, сделав его «непривлекательным для международных перевозок».

While Georgia’s Prime Minister denies any wrongdoing, the EU is moving to blacklist the Kulevi terminal for sanctions evasion. The designation would cripple the logistics of the SOCAR-owned facility, making it "unattractive to international shipping."

Dubai-based Demex Trading supplied Russian oil to Nils Troost’s companies before they were sanctioned. This information was found in a leaked archive of the Russian customs broker ALET. Demex was a nearly exclusive supplier of crude oil and diesel fuel to Troost’s companies in 2022–2023, with shipments going to the UAE, the US, and Europe.

What began as an oil business in Azerbaijan has evolved into a far-reaching corporate network with operations stretching across Russia, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Malta, and Switzerland.
