REQUIRES A TRANSLATOR FROM RUSSIAN TO OSSETIAN
The Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don is considering the high-profile case of Aslan Gagiev, who is considered the leader of an organized criminal group (OPG).
Gagiev is accused of murder, the creation of an organized criminal group and arms trafficking. According to security officials, the gang members killed at least 60 people, including law enforcement officers, officials, and businessmen.
The guards had to bring additional chairs into the small courtroom, as there was not enough room for everyone. In total, ten people were allowed in including relatives and journalists.
Gagiev's relatives flatly refuse to communicate with media representatives. But Aslan Gagiev puts on a whole performance in front of the judge, and during the break he gives an impromptu press conference.
The alleged offender is demanding an interpreter from Russian into Ossetian.
"I am an Ossetian, the son of my people, and I want to hear Ossetian speech!" - he says.
The judge denies the request. Since at school the accused had high marks in Russian and he graduated from the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute.
In response, Gagiev defiantly reads Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
CONFESSION TO MURDER OR ONE-MAN THEATER?
The whole action looks like the theater of one actor in a transparent cage. It can be seen that he is trying to win over the journalists. It is difficult to understand whether Jaco is telling the truth or fiction.
About the place of work, Gagiev replies that he is a freelance artist, and he owned shipyards in Germany and Ukraine.
He delivers a speech: “I confess to the murder of the Deputy Prime Minister of North Ossetia, Alania Pagiev. And the customer of this murder is State Duma deputy Zurab Gayozovich Makiev and his accomplice, the prime minister and the senator, but I have nothing bad against them. "
A day later, State Duma deputy Zurab Makiev commented on the words of the detainee to journalists.
The deputy denies that he ordered the murder of Deputy Prime Minister of North Ossetia Kazbek Pagiyev. He also stressed that he has no ties with Gagiev.
“He levied tribute on many. I turned him down. Moreover, I am the only one who also filed an application against Gagiev on the fact of threats and extortion back in 2017, - comments Makiev. "His attacks have only one meaning: he understands that he will be sentenced to life in prison. And by my example, he wants to scare others so that they continue to pay him and his accomplices, as well as their relatives during the period of serving the sentence."
The next hearing at the District Military Court is set for Monday, October 18th. Gagiev expressed his surprise that the trial is taking place in Rostov-on-Don: "I am on trial in Rostov! In a military court, what is it? I didn't even serve in the army!"
WHO IS ASLAN GAGIEV NICKNAMED DZHAKO
Aslan Gagiev was hiding in Austria, when in 2018 he was extradited to Russia. He is on trial on charges of organizing five murders, arms trafficking, banditry and the creation of a criminal community (OCG).
The most notorious crimes are considered the shooting of the head of the Organized Crime Control Department of the Republic of North Ossetia, Alania Mark Metsaev and the murder of the head of the first department of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for North Ossetia Vadim Cheldiev. Together with him in the car they shot his son Zaur, a sophomore law school student.
According to the investigation, the murder of the mayor of Vladikavkaz, Vitaly Karaev, and the vice-premier of North Ossetia, Kazbek Pagiyev, are on the account of the gang.
In Moscow, the victims of the gang were the owner of Sodbiznesbank and the Kredittrast bank, Alexander Slesarev and his family members, the owner of the National Capital bank Dmitry Plytnik and the chairman of the board of Kutuzovsky bank Oleg Novoselsky.
According to the investigation, Gagiev, through his subordinates, gave orders to eliminate people. He himself did not participate in the killings, being at the time of the crimes in another region.
Today, 24 members of the criminal group have been sentenced to long terms, seven have been put on the international wanted list, and seven more have been killed by their own accomplices as a result of internal conflicts.
