The case regarding the events in Koi-Tash has been under consideration in court since 2022. It includes episodes related to the Bishkek CHPP, the Dastan plant, and land plots. Among the accused are also mentioned former Minister of Internal Affairs Abdildy Suranchiev and ex-Minister of Energy Askarbek Shadiev. In total, there are 20 defendants in the case, 12 of whom are connected to the events in Koi-Tash.
February 2023 marked the moment when Almazbek Atambayev received court permission for treatment and left for Spain, from which he has not returned to Kyrgyzstan.
On August 7, 2019, special forces of the GKNB attempted to storm Atambayev's residence in Koi-Tash. The next day, a joint operation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the GKNB was conducted to detain the former president. The security forces managed to extract him from the residence, but supporters began throwing stones and setting tires on fire. As a result of two days of clashes, 136 people were injured, and one special forces officer died from gunshot wounds.
Several criminal cases were initiated against the former president, including cases related to the riots in Koi-Tash on August 7-8, 2019, corruption, and money laundering. He was also accused of illegally issuing passports to citizens of Turkey and organizing mass riots in October 2020, but was acquitted.
