On November 27, 2019, the Naberezhnye Chelny City Court refused to consider the case against Ilkham Karimov, Konstantin Matrashov, Vladimir Myakushin and Aydar Yulmetyev. The court pointed out a significant violation of the law committed in the pre-trial stage and returned the case to the prosecutor of the Republic of Tatarstan.
Update. On February 14, the Tatarstan Supreme Court examined the appeal of the criminal case to the prosecutor and upheld the decision of the lower court.
