A court in Abkhazia sentenced Russian citizen and native of Tajikistan Sobirkhon Buriyev to life imprisonment. He was found guilty of drug trafficking.

“On November 3, 2022, the Sukhum City Court issued a guilty verdict against a native of the Republic of Tajikistan, citizen of the Russian Federation: – Buriyev Sobirkhon Saidulloevich, born April 22, 2000, accused of a crime against public health and morality – trafficking in the narcotic substance “mefedron” in especially large quantities, weighing 50.108 grams,” the General Prosecutor’s Office of Abkhazia noted.

It is reported that Buriyev Sobirkhon distributed the narcotic substance for monetary reward through “secret stash” methods, three of which, weighing over 11 grams, he made in the area of the Abkhaz State University.

The General Prosecutor’s Office of Abkhazia reports that the native of Tajikistan did not admit guilt to the charges, although during the preliminary investigation he actively cooperated with the investigation and pointed out the locations of his secret stashes.

The court sentenced Buriyev to life imprisonment, with confiscation of property.

Buriyev Sobirkhon has the right to appeal to the cassation panel of the Supreme Court of Abkhazia within 15 working days.
