Currently, necessary judicial examinations are being conducted, and investigative actions are ongoing to clarify all circumstances of the case. The Main Internal Affairs Directorate confirmed that the investigation is in an active phase.
Recall that Azhiev was arrested in June 2023 on charges of organizing web cam studios. He attempted to leave for the United Arab Emirates through Uzbekistan, where he was detained. In addition, E. A. approached the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) with a complaint about extortion, claiming that he worked as an operator for web cam studios and became a victim of psychological pressure from an administrator who threatened violence and demanded $2,000.
It has become known that the investigating judge of the Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek imposed a seizure on Azhiev's property, which is to be confiscated in favor of the state, including apartments, houses, and cars with a total value of 262 million soms. As a result of the court proceedings, Azhiev was sentenced to nine years in prison. On February 18, his pardon was announced by the president.
