As reported by Oxu.Az, at the trial presided over by Judge Fakhri Mammadov, the completion of the judicial investigation was announced.

Then, prosecutor Babakhan Gasanaliyev, in the course of maintaining the state prosecution, requested that A. Khalilova be sentenced to 11 years of imprisonment.

Since the defense attorneys requested time for their statements, the next hearing has been scheduled for July 21.

As a reminder, a complaint against the TikToker was filed with the Surakhani District Police Department by her close acquaintance Khalid Karimov. In his statement, the plaintiff indicated that Aybeniz Khalilova had demanded 836,000 manats from him in installments.
