According to a statement from the NSC's press service on April 30, 2024, "Three of the convicted individuals had previously been convicted for committing similar crimes. They have been sentenced by the military court of the Akmola garrison to imprisonment ranging from one to eight years."
The verdict entered into legal force on April 2.
