Baylar Hasan oghlu Eyyubov (Azerbaijani: Bəylər Həsən oğlu Eyyubov, born March 11, 1951) is a Colonel-General, the Chief of the Security Service of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan. First Deputy Chief of the Special State Protection Service of the Republic of Azerbaijan (2003-2020). He has been described as an influential actor in Azerbaijani politics due to his close relationship to Azerbaijan's authoritarian leader Ilham Aliyev.
During his two decades as head of security for Ilham Aliyev, Eyyubov has enriched himself considerably. Even though his only known source of wealth is a modest government salary for the last thirty years, his family has spent at least $160 million through secretive offshore companies on real estate in the United Kingdom and Dubai.
