The Moscow City Court has approved the confiscation of real estate, land, and vehicles worth a total of 41.9 billion rubles from Vladimir Kayshev, the former head of the Karachay-Cherkessia government, his family, and associated individuals. This decision was in response to accusations of illegally conducting business while serving in government service and attempting to raid the Kavminvody plant.
A native of Dagestan, Renat Shambilov, received a much more lenient punishment under the same article. The Khasavyurt District Court sentenced him to four years and seven months in prison on charges of attacking Russian military personnel in 1999. As the press service of the FSB Directorate for the Stavropol Territory explained in its message, the court took into account that at the time of the crime Shambilov was a minor.
Obviously, this is not the last verdict in the case of the invasion of Basayev and Khattab’s detachments into Dagestan. Although almost a quarter of a century has passed since then, law enforcement officers continue to detain suspects of involvement in the attack on Russian military personnel.
Thus, in December 2022, alleged members of Basayev’s and Khattab’s detachments, Kairbek Bakiev and Ilkhan Kanmurzaev, were detained in the Stavropol Territory. Last October, FSB officers announced the detention of two more former militants: Takhir Begeldiev in Neftekumsk and Adilkhan Elmanbetov in Tomsk. Their trial is still ahead.
