On 21 August 2018, the North Caucasus District Military Court, which was considering the case of Bekirov and the other five alleged participants of the "Yalta cell" of Hizb ut-Tahrir, decided to return the case to the prosecutor's office because, according to the court, Bekirov's charge does not correspond to the gravity of the act: he is named as a participant of the organisation, while the court believes that Bekirov was one of the organisers of the cell. Bekirov was reclassified from participation in the activities of a terrorist organisation to organisation of such activities, after which the case returned to the court.
On 12 November 2019, he was sentenced to 18 years in a strict regime colony.
