Kadyrov demanded the expulsion of relatives involved in the attack on the traffic police post

The relatives of the organizers and the perpetrator of the attack on the traffic police post in Achkhoy-Martan must be expelled from Chechnya, said the head of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov. According to him, four people were involved in the incident, who are allegedly in Turkey. The head of the region demanded that their closest relatives ("fathers, brothers") be expelled, as well as that their property be confiscated "for starters." If after this they do not stop working together with Ukraine, the head of the region proposes "expelling their uncles, cousins ​​on both the father's and mother's side from Chechnya."

"Concerning this illegitimate child, expel his father, mother, if any, and brothers from Chechnya, regardless of where their property is - in Chechnya or Moscow - confiscate it," Kadyrov announced his verdict at a meeting with the leadership of the security agencies.

He noted that responsibility for the attack on the traffic police post lies not only with the perpetrators and organizers, but also with the "parents and closest relatives of the terrorists." Kadyrov also said that the attack on the police in Chechnya was supervised by a Ukrainian citizen through subordinates located in Turkey.

On April 7, in the city of Achkhoy-Martan, a local resident attacked a traffic police post with a knife. The police officers received stab wounds. Two law enforcement officers were taken to the hospital, one of whom later died. The attacker was eliminated by return fire.
