Answer
Top officials were arrested as a result of the'Moral Renovation' campaign, which aimed to eradicate corruption and moral decay within the government and society of Azerbaijan in the late 1990s. The campaign, initiated by President Heydar Aliyev, led to the prosecution of high-ranking government officials, including ministers, members of parliament, and even close associates of the president, for various offenses such as bribery, embezzlement, and abuse of power.
