Ex-general director of Alfa Telecom CJSC (MegaCom trademark) Azamat Murzaliev has been transferred to a penal settlement. Lawyer Kaisyn Abakirov told 24.kg news agency.
According to him, Azamat Murzaliev previously served his sentence in a high-security colony.
«The term of my client ends on July 25. Earlier, we applied to the Leninsky District Court of Bishkek for Azamat Murzaliev to be transferred to another correctional facility. The court granted the petition. A representative of the Special Prosecutor’s Office appealed this decision in the Bishkek City Court and asked to cancel it, considering that lawyers and convicts do not have the right to apply directly to the court with a request to change the type of correctional facility. The second instance left the decision of the Leninsky District Court unchanged,» Kaisyn Abakirov said.
The former head of Alfa Telecom Azamat Murzaliev was sentenced to 12 years in prison, his adviser Almazbek Abekov — to 25 years in prison with confiscation of property, and the director of Novostroy Service Ltd. Aman uulu Kenzhibek — to 8 years. The last two were released.
