[KavkazUzel] The Russian President and the Chechen authorities are responsible for the assassination attempts on the Chechen blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov in Sweden and other critics of Ramzan Kadyrov, according to the report of the Intelligence and Situation Center of the European Union, the conclusions of which were voiced by journalists.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote , a court in Sweden on January 11 recognized Russian citizens Ruslan Mamaev and Elmira Shapiaeva as participants in the attack on a blogger from Chechnya Tumso Abdurakhmanov and sentenced them to ten and eight years of imprisonment, respectively. The accused were sentenced to the terms requested by the prosecutor.

The court  recognized the criticism of the Chechen authorities by the blogger as the motive for the crime, but the role of the Chechen authorities was not studied in detail. 

The findings from the report of the Intelligence and Situation Center of the European Union regarding the attempt on the life of Tumso Abdurakhmanov in Sweden were reported by the Swedish public television SVT, which published this material on its website today. The Swedish security service SEPO concluded that the attempt on the blogger and other critics of Kadyrov was ordered in Chechnya, the article says.

At the same time, it quotes the words of the Minister of Press and Information of the republic, Akhmed Dudayev, who did not want to answer the reporters' questions.

"To be honest, I don’t understand why you think that I should somehow comment on the activities of these countless Internet heroes. We have neither the time nor the desire to react to this person or someone like that," Dudayev replied.

In addition, the report describes how Russia and Chechnya have developed their tools for illegal executions, mentions in this connection the special unit of the National Guard SOBR "Terek". It also states that attempts on the life of Tumso and other Chechen bloggers would not have been possible if President Putin had objected to them.

However, in a letter signed by "President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin," the presidential press service replied to Swedish television that "it has nothing to do with the murders of these people in European countries," the article says.

Recall that in June this year, a Chechen blogger living in Austria, Said-Khusein Magomadov, was tried to blow up in the city of Bregenz, according to the police. Two natives of Chechnya were detained in connection with the attempted murder case.

The blogger is sure that the Chechen authorities are behind the assassination attempt.

On July 4, 2020, in a suburb of the Austrian capital, a native of Chechnya, Mamikhan Umarov (Anzor from Vienna), was shot dead, who in his videos openly criticized and insulted Ramzan Kadyrov and his parents using profanity. And this is by no means the only example of the realization of threats against the political opponents of the head of Chechnya who fled abroad, says the statement of the "Caucasian Knot" " The Murders of Kadyrov's Critics in the European Union."

In 2016, Ramzan Kadyrov voiced threats against compatriots living abroad. "We have data for each of you, and we know who you are ... We know where you are writing from, and you are all in our hands. And therefore, do not harm yourself," "words of the head of Chechnya.
