Rapper Navai faces 7 years without a driver's license and administrative arrest

Well-known Russian rapper of Azerbaijani origin Navai (real name - Navai Bakirov) may lose his driver's license for seven years and receive 15 days of administrative detention after being detained in Kazakhstan in a drug-related case.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to the Telegram channel Mash, test results allegedly showed the presence of prohibited substances in the musician's body. At the time of detention at the "Kordai" checkpoint, the artist was driving a Mercedes.

In connection with this, the rapper may be held liable under Article 608 of the Code of Kazakhstan on Administrative Offenses, which provides punishment for operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

In addition, law enforcement authorities are investigating the circumstances of alleged smuggling and illegal handling of narcotic substances without the intent to distribute. According to the source, depending on the final classification of the actions, the artist may face up to five years of imprisonment or a fine of up to 5 thousand monthly calculation indices (MCI).

It should be noted that MCI is a financial indicator established in Kazakhstan, used for calculating fines, taxes, state duties, and social payments.

The final legal classification of the alleged offenses has not yet been determined. According to the source, the question of imposing a preventive measure against the musician is expected to be considered today.
