Kadyrov awarded a previously convicted former police officer
Ramzan Kadyrov awarded the title "Hero of Chechnya" to the commander of the "Aid" detachment of the "Akhmat" special forces Bekkhan Yunusov. Previously, he worked in the Moscow region police and was convicted of abuse of office. In addition, the police officer was suspected of fraud.
According to media reports, Yunusov attacked drug dens and beat up visitors. In 2018, he was accused of abuse of office and sentenced to four years in prison. He was released early on parole. In 2022, Yunusov was suspected of fraud, but before the trial, he signed a contract with the "Akhmat" special forces.
The "Hero of Chechnya" award was presented by the commander of the "Akhmat" special forces, Lieutenant General Apti Alaudinov. The highest title of the republic was also awarded to Vakha Saayev, Sultan Magomadov, Andrey Kudashkin, Sergey Ismailov, Oleg Treidin, Rustam Dzhabrailov and Lechi Zulayev.
"These are real warriors who put honor, duty and loyalty to the Motherland above all else. Their valor, courage and devotion to their cause serve as a worthy example for all of us," Kadyrov emphasized.
