“I am not ideal, I am emotional,” — he said.
Karimov also submitted receipts regarding money transactions with Shahzod Rismatov to the panel of judges. According to him, these documents confirm that there were financial relations between him and Rismatov.
“Understand me too, I did give money after all,” — Karimov said, addressing the panel of judges.
The defendant also touched upon the audio recordings in the case materials, evaluating them as evidence of a "trap" set against him. According to him, there were also cases when the Alimboyevs went to his house and asked where Shahzod Rismatov was.
