According to available data, on February 17, a letter from the president regarding the pardon was received at the colony located in the village of Petrovka. Based on this, Azhiev was released the same day.
It is worth noting that Daniil Azhiev was arrested in June 2023 on charges of organizing web cam studios. He attempted to leave the country, heading to the UAE via Uzbekistan, where he was detained. Additionally, a complaint was filed with the GKNB by E. A., who claimed he was blackmailed for $2,000. In this case, he acted as an operator of web cam studios and faced threats from the administrator.
Subsequently, the Bishkek court imposed a seizure on Azhiev's property, which was to be confiscated in favor of the state. The total value of the seized property amounted to 262 million soms, including apartments, houses, and cars.
According to the court's decision, Azhiev was sentenced to 9 years of imprisonment.
