A Dagestani resident was fined for failing to report a planned terrorist attack in Makhachkala and Derbent

In Dagestan, Umaraskhab Alibekov, a father of many children, was found guilty of failing to report a planned terrorist attack that killed 22 people. The charge is based on the fact that he knew about the planned attacks on Makhachkala and Derbent but failed to notify authorities.

Alibekov himself admitted to knowing Osman Omarov, one of the alleged organizers of the attack, but claimed he was unaware of the specific details and timing of the planned crime. According to Alibekov, he did not report Omarov out of fear for the safety of his family.

The court took into account Alibekov's remorse and the fact that he has three children, slapping him with a fine of 50,000 rubles.

As a reminder, armed men attacked churches and synagogues in Makhachkala and Derbent on June 23, killing 22 people, 16 of them police officers.

The Islamic State-affiliated group "Vilayat Kavkaz" allegedly claimed responsibility for the attack.
