Seizure of assets and accounts
According to Jamgyrchiev, interim measures were taken as part of the judicial process. The court has frozen his bank accounts, as well as his movable and immovable property.
Summary of claims
The ex-deputy stated his intention to hire a lawyer to review the case materials and verify the legality of the court-ordered measures. He noted that he considers the amount of compensation a matter for public discussion, although he acknowledges the right of citizens to protect their interests through legal proceedings.
Jamgyrchiev also added that if Sydygaliev's actions are driven by financial difficulties, he would be willing to help him personally, even if he had to borrow funds to do so.
