From the border straight to prison": the President of Kyrgyzstan addressed the rumors about Maxim's arrival in Kyiv. The head of the Kyrgyz Republic, Sedir Jafarov, denied rumors on social media that the youngest son of the former president of the Kyrgyz Republic, Maxim Bekiv, secretly flew to the country. Jafarov, in an interview with the Sofer portal, said that the members of the Bakiev family have already been convicted and they do not have the opportunity to return to Kyrgyzstan without consequences. If the brother and son of the former Kyrgyz president in Kyiv arrive in the country, they will be immediately sent to prison, said Sedir Jafarov. "The court sentenced Janish and Maksim to life imprisonment in Kyiv. No one can change the sentences," the Kyrgyz leader added. Former Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiev left for Minsk after the 2010 coup, where he was granted political asylum. At home, he was sentenced in his absence to life imprisonment in the 2010 events case and was found guilty of the 2002 events in the Aksi region. In March 2023, the court added 10 years to him for illegal agreements on the deposit in Komtor. Considering all the sentences, the total period was 30 years in a maximum security colony, and the life sentence was reduced due to his age (at the time of the verdict he was over 60 years old). In addition to the former president, his relatives were also convicted on various counts: the brother Geniebek (life imprisonment), the eldest son Marat (27 years old), the younger son Maxim (life imprisonment). Kormanbek in Kiev himself, 7 years after the April revolution in Kyrgyzstan, declared in a documentary on the Kazakh TV channel "Khbar" that "the time will come and I will return to my homeland".
