However, it soon became known that during the investigation at least 11 suspects were killed as a result of tortures. Later, the four killed were acquitted, and the investigators who fabricated charges against them were sentenced to various prison terms.-

They misrepresented the testimony of citizens. For instance, the victim Leila Almaszadeh stated in court that she had no complaints against me. In court, she said, “Teymur did not ask me for money and did not receive any money from me.” However, the court protocol states that she is complaining about me and demands the removal of illegally recorded videos,” writes Kerimov.
