Defense of the ex-mayors of Bishkek appealed the verdict of the Leninsky District Court. Lawyer of the former heads of the capital Albek Ibraimov and Kubanychbek Kulmatov, Sergei Slesarev, told 24-kg.com news agency.
«The main argument of the defense is the innocence of our clients. Evidential base is missing. Expert evaluation used in the episode with the school is unacceptable; it was obtained through an unprofessional way,» he said.
Recall, Albek Ibraimov was sentenced to 15 years in prison, Kubanychbek Kulmatov — to a fine of 5 million soms. The remaining defendants were also fined.
