| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkhazUzel] Aslan Daudov, a resident of Chechnya, filed a cassation appeal against the sentence, by which he was sentenced to 12 years in prison, asking to remove a number of articles from the charge due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. The Supreme Court of Russia considered the verdict proportionate and refused to satisfy the complaint. The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the case of Aslan Daudov, a resident of Chechnya, who was accused of participating in Shamil Basayev's group and an armed attack on Budyonnovsk in 1995, was sent to court in early February 2020. On December 22, 2020, it became known that a court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced him to 12 years in a strict regime colony. On November 30, 2021, the Military Court of Appeal upheld Daudov's sentence. Investigators believe that in June 1995 Daudov joined a stable armed group led by Basayev. On June 14, 1995, about 160 people committed an armed attack in Budennovsk, Stavropol Territory, including Daudov, according to the investigation. The Supreme Court of Russia considered the cassation appeal of Aslan Daudov, who asked to exclude charges of terrorist attack and banditry due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for criminal liability at the time of sentencing, Kavkaz.Realii reported today. In the complaint, Daudov also pointed out that the verdict was largely based not on the evidence examined in court, but on the data reflected in the case file. In his opinion, the court did not establish the specific circumstances of the incident and his role in these events. In addition, according to Daudov, the court did not take into account that he voluntarily ceased participation in the Basayev group since July 1995 and since then has not been hiding from the investigation, which is confirmed by a certificate from the FSB in Chechnya on the surrender of weapons dated 2000, follows from the decision of the Supreme Russian courts. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... the panel of judges agreed with the conclusions of the appellate instance that there were no grounds for dropping the charges and mitigating the punishment. When passing the verdict, the court took into account that Daudov has four children, positive characteristics at the place of work and residence, and the status of a combat veteran. He also partially admitted his guilt. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... taking into account the "nature and degree of public danger of crimes," the court considered the punishment "proportionate to the deed and fair" and refused to commute the sentence, according to the ruling dated August 25, posted on the website of the Supreme Court. On June 14, 1995, a detachment of Chechen fighters led by Shamil Basayev invaded the territory of the Stavropol Territory and captured the central hospital of Budennovsk. As a result of the attack, 129 people were killed and 317 were injured. The militants released the remaining hostages in exchange for a promise from the Russian authorities to end hostilities in Chechnya. That worked out well. The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that in June 2018, the Southern District Military Court found Badruddi Daudov, a native of the Nozhai-Yurt District of the Chechen Republic, guilty  of involvement in the attack on Budyonnovsk. At the court debate, his lawyer Alexander Gurov suggested that Badruddi Daudov became a hostage in the case against Aslan Daudov, who previously had the name Badruddi, being his namesake and namesake. "There was not a single video or picture with me. And Aslan Daudov with a mustache was ... I was not there [in Budennovsk]. I lived with my family and looked after my sick father," Badruddi Daudov said during the trial. Related: Shamil Basayev: 2022-09-09 A native of Chechnya was convicted in the case of the 1995 attack on Budyonnovsk Shamil Basayev: 2022-09-04 Photolog: Remember!
