According to him, he is not afraid of arrest and considers this case as political like the case on illegal enrichment.

«I’m not afraid of arrest, pre-trial detention center, because it will not change anything. The case on illegal distribution of apartments is classified. I can say one thing — I did not distribute them; they were distributed by the housing commission. This is also a political case, they want to isolate me and leave Almazbek Sharshenovich alone. Those who received apartments are still in the service,» Damir Musakeev told.
