This victim was found to be innocent during his imprisonment and was released after 5 years by the decision of the Supreme Court.
After his release, Dilshod Mingboyev appealed to the civil court, demanding 1 billion soums in moral damages. According to him, over the past 5 years, many difficulties arose for his family and himself, and his family faced significant hardships: "My wife, my mother, and I have endured so many difficulties," the entrepreneur wrote.
In the case heard in the Uchtepa district court, a decision was made to award 300 million soums from the territorial targeted fund for compensation of property damage caused to individuals and legal entities under the Tashkent region administration. This court decision is a significant event for the public in criminal cases, and these circumstances increase confidence in the effectiveness of the legal system in the country.
