A cousin of Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev is said to have been arrested in a drug raid near Athens, according to Greek police.

Aliyev's cousin – a DJ with both British and Azerbaijani citizenship – is said to have been one of a total of 13 people arrested in connection with a party at a luxury villa in the town of Kalývia. Cocaine, ecstasy, and methamphetamine are said to have been found in the house, as well as large amounts of cash.

Neither the British nor the Azerbaijani embassy in Athens has commented on the matter.
