[KavkazUzel] The Supreme Court of Russia received a petition from a representative of the Prosecutor General's Office to transfer to the court of the Krasnodar Territory the case of five residents of Dagestan accused of participating in the riots in Makhachkala.

As the Caucasian Knot" wrote, by December 13, 2023, about 150 people had been arrested in the criminal case of mass unrest at the airport, one of them was also accused of attacking a security officer. For most of the accused, the arrest period has been extended until the end of March. Among those arrested, there are those who simply observed what was happening, said a member of the Dagestan PMC.

On October 29, 2023, mass riots occurred at Makhachkala airport due to reports of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots, including nine police officers. By January 12, the district courts of Dagestan had received administrative cases of more than 900 people accused in connection with the unrest. What happened at Uytash airport and how the investigation is proceeding is described in the Caucasian Knot report “ The Case of the Pogrom at Makhachkala Airport.”

The Supreme Court of Russia has scheduled February 12 to consider the petition of First Deputy Prosecutor General Anatoly Razinkin to change the territorial jurisdiction of the criminal case against several accused in the riots in Makhachkala, Chernovik reports today.

We are talking about residents of Dagestan, the investigation of which has been completed. The First Deputy Prosecutor General asked to send their case not to the Karabudakhkent court, but to the court in the Krasnodar Territory, explaining in the petition that “the accused have extensive connections, including family and friends, in the law enforcement bloc, as well as in the judiciary of the Republic of Dagestan.”

“Despite being held criminally liable, they retained the ability to use tools to influence the course and results of the trial, and can put pressure on the participants in the trial if the criminal case is considered in the courts of the republic,” the publication quotes Razinkin’s appeal.

A representative of the prosecutor's office explained that transferring the case to the judicial system of the Krasnodar Territory will allow the case to be considered "objectively and comprehensively." This, in his opinion, is facilitated by transport accessibility and the ability to interrogate participants in the process via video communication.

In turn, the defense and relatives of many of the accused, whose cases are still being investigated, believe that the transfer of the case from Dagestan to another region may be due to the desire of the prosecution to punish the accused as severely as possible, the publication writes.

According to the proceedings card on the Supreme Court website, the accused are Anvarbek Ataev, Islam Ibragimov, Magomed Omaraskhabov, Rabadan Radzhabov and Salik Ramazanov, the indictment is dated January 22. Proceedings in the case of changing territorial jurisdiction began on January 31, the hearing is scheduled for 10.00 Moscow time on February 12.

The position of the representative of the prosecutor's office was criticized today by the deputy chairman of the Public Monitoring Commission (POC) of Dagestan, Shamil Khadulaev.

“If the Dagestanis are tried in another region, they will receive the full punishment, and there is no doubt about it. But the question is, why is such a practice necessary, transferring the trial to another region, inventing stories about “security”? They shout from every voice that Dagestan a territory of peace and tranquility, but when it comes to court, Dagestan becomes “soooooo dangerous,” Khadulaev wrote in his Telegram channel.
