| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [KavkazUzel] Calls to move the trial of the riots at the Makhachkala airport from the Krasnodar Territory to Dagestan are inappropriate, said the head of the republic, Sergei Melikov, after appeals from relatives of the accused and a deputy who supported them. As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, on February 17, relatives of the participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport appealed to Putin with a request for leniency. In particular, they noted that some families do not have the opportunity to travel to court hearings in Krasnodar Krai, where the case of the five defendants has been transferred. The transfer of the case to Kuban can be appealed, but success is unlikely, lawyers interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" indicated. On February 12, the Supreme Court granted the Prosecutor General's Office's motion to change the territorial jurisdiction of the case of the five defendants and transferred the case to the Armavir District Court. There were no grounds for transferring the case to another region; this decision will complicate the defense's work, the lawyers said. The strange statements made by some State Duma deputies, not coordinated with anyone, are inappropriate and inappropriate The criminal cases of the rioters have been transferred to Krasnodar Krai "to eliminate the subjective factor," Dagestan head Sergei Melikov said today. "The strange, uncoordinated statements by some State Duma deputies about returning the cases to Dagestan are completely inappropriate. I am against this, as I am against anyone interfering in the work of special structures," he wrote on his Telegram channel. The investigation into the case is “as objective as possible,” Melikov emphasized. “The guilty will get what they deserve, and the innocent will not suffer,” he assured. The head of Dagestan did not specify which of the deputies he had in mind. Earlier, State Duma deputy Saigidpasha Umakhanov asked the Chairman of the Supreme Court of Russia to instruct him to consider an appeal on the advisability of changing territorial jurisdiction so that criminal cases about the riots at the Makhachkala airport were considered in Dagestan, Chernovik writes today. The deputy chairman of the Dagestan Public Monitoring Commission, Shamil Khadulaev, reported the same thing on his Telegram channel on June 21. "Yesterday, the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, S. Umakhanov, addressed the new chairperson of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, Irina Leonidovna Podnosova, on our, the public, appeal to the deputy in connection with the fact of transferring the consideration of the court cases of the guys from Dagestan in the airport case to Krasnodar Krai. The deputy's appeal is also connected with the public's hope for an objective investigation of this high-profile case," Khadulaev wrote. Khadulaev’s publication is illustrated with a photocopy of an appeal on behalf of Umakhanov. The document is dated June 20. “The Dagestan public in its appeal expresses hope for an objective investigation and impartial (and fair) consideration of criminal (“airport”) cases. […] I ask you to instruct us to consider the specified appeal on the advisability of changing territorial jurisdiction so that criminal (“airport”) cases the cases were considered in the Republic of Dagestan,” the published appeal says. According to the text of the document, the reason was an appeal to Umakhanov by "public figure Khalidov Dengi Shakhrudinovich, who represents the interests of an initiative group of a number of communities in several municipal districts of Dagestan, as well as the parents of the defendants (a total of about 140 people)." "The appeal states that these criminal cases have been transferred for consideration to the Krasnodar Territory (to the Armavir City Court) due to the fact that there has been a lack of confidence in the law enforcement and judicial system of the Republic of Dagestan," the document says. Saygidpasha Umakhanov himself, as of 17.50 Moscow time on June 30, did not report on his telegram channel about his appeal to the Chairman of the Supreme Court and did not comment on today’s statement by the head of Dagestan. Let us recall that the first hearing in the Armavir City Court on the case of five rioters was supposed to take place at the end of May, but the accused were not transported in time. The hearing was postponed to June 18, but on that day the court, at the request of the prosecution, again postponed the consideration of the case, since one of the accused was not brought to court.
