Elements of a serious crime on the release of the kingpin Aziz Batukaev were also found. They say that this was done not for free. Pre-trial proceedings are underway. In order not to be unfounded, I have a copy of the testimony of Aziz Batukaev. He gave testimony against Atambayev and told how he was released,» he said.
