Former Imam-Khatib of Tashkent Mosques Odilkhon Ismoilov Released Right in the Courtroom
The appellate instance of the Namangan Regional Court commuted the real prison sentence of former imam-khatib of Tashkent mosques Odilkhon Ismoilov to a probation period of three years. On October 12, he was released in the courtroom. Previously, he had been sentenced to eight years in prison in a case involving embezzlement, official forgery, and document-related crimes.
The criminal case was considered by the Pop District Court. According to its verdict, seven people were found guilty under several articles of the Criminal Code, including misappropriation or embezzlement, official forgery, as well as illegal actions with documents and their falsification.
Ismoilov was sentenced to eight years of imprisonment. The remaining six defendants received various prison terms. The court also ruled to collect the caused material damage from the convicted individuals on a joint and several basis.
During the review of the case, the appellate instance took into account that part of the damage had already been compensated, and the property belonging to Ismoilov was accepted onto the bank's balance sheet at its request. In addition, the seized property was sold, and the proceeds were directed to compensate for the damage.
As a result, the sentence handed down to Ismoilov under paragraph "a" of Part 3 of Article 167 of the Criminal Code was left unchanged, but on the basis of Article 72, it was declared conditional with a probation period of three years.
