According to data published in the State Register of Judicial Acts, in the spring of 2020, Mukhtar [name changed M.M.M.] was aware that his acquaintance Ikrom and his friend had become victims of extortion by the leader of a criminal group in the southern region and his accomplices, including the so-called "watcher" of the city of Osh. The pressure on Ikrom was particularly strong, and Mukhtar took advantage of this circumstance.
Mukhtar brought Ikrom to the "Energia" gym, located in the Anar microdistrict, where he introduced him to a certain B. Then, to exacerbate the situation, he brought out I.A.S., who was also under threat, and then informed Ikrom that he had a deadline to hand over 6 million 500 thousand soms, warning him of possible consequences in case of delay.
After a month, in early July 2020, Mukhtar visited Ikrom again to collect the money, exerted psychological pressure on him, and forced him to sell his truck. On the same day, Ikrom reported that he had sold the vehicle for 23 thousand 500 dollars, handing over 10 thousand dollars, and also stated the need to prepare another 10 thousand dollars.
Of the collected 20 thousand dollars, it was exchanged for Kyrgyz soms, and the amount of 1 million 560 thousand soms was handed over to Mukhtar in his office in the Frunze microdistrict of Osh. Later, he demanded an additional 500 thousand soms, providing a deadline of 15 days.
Ten days later, Mukhtar returned to Ikrom demanding to expedite the transfer of money. Ikrom was forced to borrow a "Hyundai Porter 2" vehicle, valued at 700 thousand soms. Mukhtar took it away and reported the sale for 450 thousand soms, taking another 50 thousand soms.
The investigation established that as a result of Mukhtar's actions, the victim suffered material damage amounting to 3 million 363 thousand soms.
According to the verdict of the Osh City Court dated August 12, 2025, Mukhtar was found not guilty of illegal arms trafficking due to lack of corpus delicti, but was found guilty of concealing a crime and was released from criminal liability due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. The measure of restraint in the form of house arrest was replaced with a written undertaking not to leave, which was later revoked.
On October 28, 2025, the Osh Regional Court changed the verdict, finding Mukhtar guilty of complicity in extortion and sentencing him to 5 years of imprisonment. In the courtroom, the measure of restraint was changed to arrest.
According to the articles of the Criminal Code, one day of detention from September 20 to December 7, 2024, was counted as two days of imprisonment, and five days of house arrest as one. The term of serving the sentence begins on October 28, 2025, and will take place in a general regime institution. The rest of the verdict remained unchanged.
In the cassation appeal, Mukhtar's lawyer requested the annulment of the appellate court's decision, claiming that it did not take into account all the evidence and reached hasty conclusions.
On January 26, 2026, the Supreme Court annulled the decision of the Osh Regional Court dated October 28, 2025, and upheld the verdict of the Osh City Court dated August 12, 2025. The court ordered Mukhtar's immediate release from places of deprivation of liberty. The cassation appeal was granted, and the decision became final and not subject to appeal.
