Mother of “Dilshod SB” received 13 years in prison

65-year-old Sojida Saidmurodova, the mother of Dilshod Saidmurodov, known as “Dilshod SB” and “Dilshod the Handsome,” has been sentenced to 13 years in prison.

The court found her guilty of fraud, forgery, illegal seizure of land, and obstruction of justice.

Relatives of the convicted woman are convinced that Saidmurodova was imprisoned in retaliation for her son Dilshod. The Supreme Court rejected this claim, stating that the sentence was based on irrefutable evidence obtained during the investigation, and if Saidmurodova disagrees with the verdict, she has the right to appeal.

“What’s the point of appealing? We hope that this elderly woman will be released based on the upcoming amnesty,” said a relative of Sojida Saidmurodova, who wished to remain anonymous, to Radio Ozodi.

After her son Dilshod Saidmurodov fled to Russia, the officers of the Organized Crime Control Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan detained Dilshod’s mother on charges of hooliganism.

Dilshod Saidmurodov was the main suspect in the case of the kidnapping and murder of Shukhrat Ismatulloev, the deputy chairman of “Orionbank” and the brother-in-law of President Hasan Asadullozoda.

On March 18, the Supreme Court sentenced Dilshod Saidmurodov to life imprisonment.
