The billionaire seems to be in the news more and more - first the Florida-born social media star controversially became an Armenian citizen, signing up to join the country's military service, and now he's managed to make himself wanted by authorities.
It's been confirmed by PEOPLE that the Investigative Department of the Prosecutor General's Office of Azerbaijan has initiated a criminal case against Bilzerian.
Allegations have been made he illegally visited Nagorno Karabakh, a region that is the subject of a conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Azerbaijan authorities also allege Bilzerian illegally acquired grenades and firearms before opening fire at a shooting range - for demonstration purposes only.
However, the exact charges he faces are not completely clear.
These charges come after Bilzerian and his brother, who are of Armenian descent, became citizens of the Eastern European country.
"Dan and Adam Bilzerian have just participated in an oath ceremony on the occasion of receiving Armenian citizenship," said Mnatsakan Bichakhchyan, Head of the Passport and Visa Department of the Armenian Police, in a Facebook post accompanied by a photo of himself with the brothers.

It is unknown whether Dan and Adam will have to serve in the Armenian military, but all male citizens are required to perform national service or face criminal prosecution.
"Citizens of the Republic of Armenia that have dual citizenship must participate in the defence of Homeland, by reporting at the location prescribed by the draft entering into military service on voluntary contractual basis," according to the Armenian government website.
