| Denver Tries Uzbek Refugee on Charges of Wiring Money to ‘Islamic Jihad Union’ | ||
| 2018-03-24 | ||
Prosecutors claim Bahktiyor Jumaev developed a closeness with fellow Uzbek Jamshid Muhtorov when the pair shared an apartment and that the two men discussed joining the IJU through phone calls and emails by using code words such as "wedding" to describe jihad. "It’s a crime to send money or property to a terrorist organization," said prosecutor Gregory Holloway at a courthouse in Denver. "That’s why we’re here." In 2011, prosecutors say Jumaev sent $300 to Jamshid Muhtorov and later admitted to FBI agents that he knew it was going towards the IJU. However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... Jumaev’s attorney David Barry Savitz argued that the FBI illegally extracted a false confession from him by arresting him after a night’s work and interrogating him for three hours. He went on to claim that his client merely intended to pay back Muhtorov for a $500 bond required to get Jumaev out of jail and was not related to the IJU. "He considered himself trapped. He was scared. He was exhausted," Savitz said in his opening statement. "It was strictly intended to pay his debt and has nothing to do with the IJU." The FBI’s tough questioning allegedly reminded Jumaev of an experience he had in 1999 where Uzbekistan National Security agents questioned him before severely beating him. In January, Jumaev’s lawyers asked a judge not to allow the prosecution to show jurors a video showing the beheading of FBI agents found on Muhtorov’s computer. "There is no evidence that Mr. Jumaev viewed any or most of the Muhtorov electronic evidence, particularly the most violent ones," the motion read. Muhtorov was first locked away Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!...
