Orkhan Asanov was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison for conspiracy to commit murder, after his case was initially classified as terrorism. He was arrested in Nicosia and pleaded guilty to the murder charge, while the terrorism charges were dropped. Asanov is expected to be released in 2026 if he serves his sentence. This decision may also affect the other two defendants in the case. The next court session will address procedural matters related to the other defendants.
