[KavkazUzel] The group that carried out attacks on synagogues and Orthodox churches in Derbent and Makhachkala included 11 people, some of whom deny their guilt, claiming that they gave their initial testimony under torture.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on June 23, on the Day of the Holy Trinity, which is one of the main Christian holidays, militants attacked synagogues and Orthodox churches in Derbent and Makhachkala. As a result, at least 22 people were killed and 46 were injured.

Investigators believe that the group whose members carried out the attacks was created by the son of the head of the Sergokalinsky District, Magomed Omarov. "Kavkazsky Uzel" has prepared reports "The Main Thing About the Participants in the Attacks in Makhachkala and Derbent" and "Attacks on Churches, Synagogues, and Security Forces in Dagestan."
According to investigators, the organized group that carried out attacks on synagogues and Orthodox churches in Dagestan included 11 people. They planned to attack synagogues in Makhachkala and Derbent simultaneously in two groups of three people.

Magomed Kagirov was supposed to join the militants, but then he did not participate in the terrorist attacks. After the militants were eliminated, Kagirov was arrested, Kommersant reported on December 1, citing the Investigative Committee.
According to the investigation, six members of the group were actively preparing for attacks from May to the first half of June. They were trained in shooting, made bottles with Molotov cocktails, stored weapons, ammunition and explosive devices. Five accomplices - Magomedovs with the same last name, who were not related to each other

- in the apartment of one of them in Makhachkala, security forces found an anti-tank grenade launcher, a Kalashnikov assault rifle with cartridges, three grenades, a detonator and explosives.
Another defendant, Magomed Magomedov, was found in the village of Sergokala with a grenade, 42 rounds of ammunition, and a homemade bomb. His fellow villager Khalid Magomedov had a Makarov pistol, a grenade, 24 rounds of ammunition for a pistol, and 13 rounds of ammunition for a machine gun. Makhachkala resident Zaur was found with a traumatic pistol, more than 250 rounds of ammunition for various types of weapons, a grenade, an optical sight, two silencers, and six magazines for machine guns.
On July 2, all three were arrested. They were charged with preparing a terrorist attack, illegal trafficking of weapons, ammunition and explosives. According to the source, none of them admits guilt, all three claim that the weapons, ammunition and explosives were planted on them.
Khalid Magomedov stated that he was in fact detained not in early July in Makhachkala, but on June 26 in Vidnoye, Moscow Region, when he and his colleagues were returning from work to a dormitory in Khimki. Magomedov said that the FSB officers told him the names of the militants, and he told them that he knew them all, since the Kagirovs were his second cousins, and the rest were fellow villagers. Magomedov complained that the security forces initially filed a report on him for hooliganism and promised to let him go, but two days later they took him to Dagestan, and that they forced him to testify by beating him.
He was also allegedly forced to make a video recording of his oath of allegiance to Osman Omarov, and then dropped off on a road in Makhachkala. Magomedov said he knew nothing about the preparation of terrorist attacks.
According to the case materials, Zaur Magomedov has two higher educations and previously worked as the CEO of a construction company in Makhachkala. Khalid Magomedov has one higher education and worked as an asphalt paver at JSC CDS Filial SU 450. Magomed Magomedov said that he is disabled and therefore does not work. The investigation demanded that the arrest period of all defendants be extended, and the court extended their detention until March 2, 2025.
Zaur Magomedov's lawyer Magomed Musayev stated that his client had lived in the Moscow region for three years before his arrest, that he had his own construction company and that he had never been to Dagestan. "I don't know how he could have planned anything in Makhachkala," the lawyer said.
Khalid Magomedov's lawyer Igor Dyukin emphasized that his client also worked in Moscow for three years and that he had not traveled to his native village since April 30.
Recall that veterans of the special services interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" earlier stated that the militant attacks could have been prevented if the security forces had guarded religious sites more carefully and paid more attention to preventive work, but the security of religious sites in the republic was strengthened only the day after the militant attacks.
The attacks occurred because of government miscalculations that did not pay enough attention to countering terrorism, Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov said in July.
On June 24, the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, announced that Magomed Omarov, whose two sons and nephew participated in the militant attack, had been dismissed from his post as head of the Sergokalinsky District. On June 25, Melikov announced an investigation into the personal files of officials and deputies.
The attacks in Derbent and Makhachkala were the first armed incidents in the republic in more than a year. At the same time, a number of incidents related to attacks on religious figures and religious buildings had occurred in Dagestan earlier.
