After the hostage taking in the Rostov pre-trial detention center, the head of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Rostov Region, Dmitry Bezrukikh, and his first deputy, Vasily Gordeev, resigned. In total, four employees of the department were fired, and 16 were brought to disciplinary action.
The department sent the materials of the internal inspection to the Investigative Committee and the prosecutor's office.
Let us recall that on June 16, the “Mujahideen of the Islamic State” (as they called themselves) captured two hostages in pre-trial detention center No. 1 from among the employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service. The prisoners demanded transport and the opportunity to leave the detention center. The Federal Penitentiary Service reported that they died during the assault, the hostages were not injured.
Among the invaders were three natives of Ingushetia - Malik Gandaloev, Shamil Akiev and Azamat Tsitskiev, as well as a native of Chechnya Tamerlan Gireev, Magomed Saipudinov from Dagestan and Daniil Kamnev from Stavropol.
Of the attackers, only one survived - Daniil Kamnev, who was discharged from the hospital and taken into custody. He told how the detention center and hostages were seized. In addition, Kamnev pointed to specific employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service who smuggled knives into their cells for 5 thousand rubles.
