The Investigative Committee refused to open a criminal case on the fact of torture against Dagestan native Magomed Magomedov in the Razvilkovsky police department of the city of Vidnoye. According to lawyer Sergei Uzdensky, the decision made by the investigation was an example of "unconditional trust" in the testimony of the Ministry of Internal Affairs officers without a real check of their arguments.

"I was unofficially advised not to raise information noise in order to give the "system" the opportunity to "get out of the situation with dignity." The security forces of the city of Vidnoye are covering up criminals, guided by the principles of corporate solidarity, and possibly other motives," he shared.

Magomed Magomedov was detained on January 20 on suspicion of converting a traumatic pistol into a combat one. At the police station, he was beaten and tortured with electric current. After the abuse, the man was sent to a pretrial detention center, and a criminal case was opened against him under the articles on illegal possession of weapons and illegal manufacture of weapons.
