Deputy Interior Minister arrives at ex-President Atambayev’s house

AKIPRESS.COM - Deputy Interior Minister Mirlan Kanimetov has arrived in the so-called people's staff in the house of ex-President Almazbek Atambayev in Koi-Tash village. The Deputy Interior Minister came to explain why Atambayev should come to the investigation service of the Interior Ministry for questioning and in what capacity.
SDPK spokesperson Kunduz Joldubaeva came out to meet the Deputy Interior Minister.
Atambayev was summoned for questioning for July 19 for the third time. All three summons were ignored by Almazbek Atambayev. His attorney Sergei Slesarev said ex-President Atambayev still has immunity for prosecution and can be summoned for questioning.
According to unconfirmed reports, the interrogation is linked to the case of illegal freeing of crime boss Aziz Batukayev from prison.
On June 27, Parliament of Kyrgyzstan voted for stripping Almazbek Atambayev of his immunity.
Atambayev was accused of illegal freeing of crime boss Aziz Batukayev from prison, concealment of income, illegal land purchase, corruption in the modernization of the Bishkek power plant and the illegal supply of coal to the power plant. The General Prosecutor's office backed the accusations partially.
Atambayev slammed the parliament and said accusations against him are "completely absurd, have no legal ground and are based on rumors." He said he will resist his arrest.
