The Georgian Prosecutor's Office accused the opposition television channel TV Pirveli of spreading "further disinformation" after airing a report about Tamar Bezhuashvili, the prosecutor in the case of the attempted storming of the presidential palace. The office stated that this is the second time in the past six weeks that the channel has produced material related to the business activities of the prosecutor's father and is "completely unfoundedly" attempting to link it to her professional work.
The Sovetsky District Court of Makhachkala found two former employees of the Russian Guard, brothers Salman and Suleiman Kurbanov, guilty of manslaughter and sentenced them to minor terms - 1 year 4 months and 1 year and 6 months, respectively. In February 2021, in the building of the Sovetsky District Department of Internal Affairs of Makhachkala, they shot their fellow villager, the head of the village of Novokuli, Abakar Kaplanov.
The examination confirmed that at the time of the commission of the incriminated act the defendants were in a state of passion. The ex-Rosguard members were released from criminal prosecution due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
The brothers had a conflict with an official. According to the court, in 2008, in the village of Novolak, the Kurbanovs’ father was beaten with the participation of Kaplanov. Then the conflict continued, including over a plot of land in the center of the village of Novostroy, owned by one of the brothers.
As a result, during the next conflict in the police department in the Sovetsky district of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Makhachkala, the Kurbanovs fired a number of shots at Kaplanov: each - at least 18. The official was killed.
