Bodyguard of Almazbek Atambayev, Kanat Sagymbaev, was handed a notice of suspicion. He is a defendant in a criminal case initiated under four articles of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. His lawyer Zamir Jooshev told 24.kg news agency.
According to him, the former employee of the State Guard Service is charged with mass riots, abuse of official position, murder by a group of persons, as well as obstruction of the actions of an investigator or other official of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
«Presumably, Kanat Sagymbaev is charged with the murder of an employee of Alpha special forces of the State Committee for National Security. My client doesn’t know any other details,» said Zamir Jooshev.
Recall, Kanat Sagymbaev was fired from the State Committee for National Security on September 20. He was detained for 48 hours the day before.
