Salim Abduvaliev has been released, according to sources.

According to the source, he had been struggling with an illness for a long time.

Salim Abduvaliev was released from punishment on January 12 under Article 75 of the Criminal Code (Release from punishment due to illness or loss of capacity to work) due to a severe illness that hindered the continuation of his sentence.

Article 75 of the Criminal Code provides for the release from punishment for individuals suffering from a serious illness that prevents them from serving their sentence.

In March 2024, a court in Tashkent sentenced Abduvaliev, also known as "Salimbay," to six years of imprisonment. He was found guilty under part 2 of Article 248 of the Criminal Code (Illegal trafficking in firearms, ammunition, essential parts of firearms, explosives, explosive devices, or explosive devices, committed repeatedly or by a dangerous recidivist with ammunition and explosives).
