Kadyrov said that the heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Investigative Committee are “in the wrong places”
During a direct line in Grozny, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov criticized the heads of the Investigative Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Alexander Bastrykin and Vladimir Kolokoltsev. In his opinion, they are not in their places.
The criticism concerned the case against 14-year-old Chechen teenager Muslim Murdiyev. Since the fall of 2023, he has been under house arrest - he was charged with using violence during a fight in Moscow's Khodynskoye Pole Park. According to the investigation, he and three other people terrorized and provoked Moscow schoolchildren into fights, and filmed their adventures and posted them on the Internet.
“We have been working on the Muslim Murdiyev case for a long time: human rights activists, deputies, senators - all representatives and myself personally. Those people who sit at the top – the investigative bodies headed by Bastrykin and Kolokoltsev – are not in their places. They will not put him in jail, they will not do anything to him. I personally spoke with everyone. He will be released soon,” Kadyrov shared.
In addition, the head of Chechnya criticized the Ministry of Internal Affairs for cruel treatment of migrants.
“Kolokoltsev gave the order: now they are beating up newcomers, taking them away, driving out our Uzbek brothers and other migrants that we need. And then they say that no one wants to be friends with us. Why did we lose Ukraine, Georgia? Why are relations with other countries so strained? Because the heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and investigative bodies do not know what is happening in the country. They do not go to the regions and do not communicate with people. They commit outrages, sitting in their chairs, not looking at what is happening outside the window. The Almighty will definitely punish them,” Ramzan Kadyrov said.
