The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on November 30, 2020, it became known about the detention in Chechnya of two alleged participants in the attack on the Russian military in 1999 - Aslanbek Idalov and Salambek Idalov. In July 2021, their case went to court . The attack of militants led by Shamil Basayev and Emir Khattab on a convoy of Russian troops took place on October 4, 1999. According to security officials, several terrorist groups ambushed near the Chervlennaya railway station in the Shelkovsky district, killing 15 federal soldiers and injuring 28 more. A petition for the detention of Gakaev R.D., whom the security forces consider to be a participant in the attack on the military in the Shelkovsky district of Chechnya in October 1999, was received by the Essentuki City Court from the first investigative department of the department for investigating crimes against the person and public security of the Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia. Based on the results of its consideration, a preventive measure was chosen for the man in the form of detention for a period of 2 months - until June 18, 2022, according to today's message on the website of the city court. Recall that in January 2019, the Supreme Court of Chechnya found local resident Ruslan Bataev guilty of attacking the Russian military in 1999 and sentenced him to 14 years and six months in a strict regime colony. According to the ICR, as of December 16, 2021, 27 members of the Basayev and Khattab gang were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment in the case of an attack in the village of Chervlennaya. |
