[KavkazUzel] Khusein Medov and Dzhabrail Aushev were arrested on charges of illegal arms and explosives trafficking. The investigation links them to the recognized terrorist militant wing of the Ingush vird Batalkhadzhintsy and the weapons used in the terrorist attack in "Crocus". Two more residents of Ingushetia have been declared wanted.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on March 22, armed men broke into the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow, opened fire and set it on fire. According to official data, 145 people were killed in the terrorist attack, the FSB classified the incident as a terrorist attack. Eleven people were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the terrorist attack. The terrorist attack in Krasnogorsk was the largest in the Moscow region in 30 years. From 1999 until the events at Crocus City Hall, there had been five terrorist attacks there, each killing more than 40 people. Before the terrorist attack at Crocus, the largest number of deaths, 130 people, was attributed to the seizure of the Theater Center on Dubrovka.
Two alleged accomplices in the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall in the Moscow region, Aushev and Medov, have been arrested in Moscow on charges of illegal trafficking of weapons and explosives, RIA Novosti reported today.
"The court granted the investigator's motion to extend the preventive measure in the form of detention for Aushev D.M. and Medov Kh.A.," the agency quoted data from the card index of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow.
The new defendants in the case of the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall are residents of Ingushetia. Two of them have been arrested, and two more have been put on the wanted list. According to the investigation, they may be connected with the already recognized terrorist and banned by the court militant wing of the Batalkhadzhin vird. They converted blank-firing Kalashnikov assault rifles into combat ones and armed them with them along with cartridges to the terrorists who directly attacked the concert hall visitors, Kommersant reported today.
Batal-Khadzhi Belkhoroev is an Ingush sheikh, the founder of one of the Kadirite branches (virds), a follower of Sheikh Kunta-Khadzhi, according to the report "Batal-Khadzhi and His Followers" prepared by the "Caucasian Knot ". The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, declared the Batal-Khadzhi people his brothers after a wave of arrests in the fall of 2022. On November 3, 2022, he stood up for the Belkharoev family. Kadyrov stated that the term "Batal-Khadzhi terrorist society" is absurd, and the Belkharoevs will always be his close brothers. In February 2023, the FSB included the militant wing of the Ingush vird of the Batal-Khadzhi people in the list of terrorist organizations.
The defendants in the criminal case are natives of the Ingush village of Surkhakhi, Khusein Medov, Dzhabrail Aushev and Khavazh-Bagaudin Aliyev, as well as Batyr Kulayev from Ekazhevo. Their criminal case in the central office of the investigative department has already been combined with the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, and they are accused of illegal circulation of weapons and ammunition (part 5 of article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and explosive devices (part 3 of article 222.1). FSB and criminal investigation officers detained Medov and Aushev in Ingushetia, from where they were taken to Moscow. Two of their fellow countrymen have been declared wanted.
The investigation suggests that a few weeks before the terrorist attack, the Tajik nationals contacted residents of Ingushetia through accomplices. At the request of the Tajiks, 32-year-old Khusein Medov obtained four blank-firing Kalashnikov assault rifles through his own channels, which he converted into live ones at home. 27-year-old Batyr Kulaev gave his fellow countryman magazines for the Kalashnikov assault rifles and cartridges, which were used by the terrorists in the Crocus. 23-year-old Dzhabrail Aushev and 31-year-old Khavazh-Bagaudin Aliyev delivered the weapons and ammunition to caches near the villages of Ekazhevo and Surkhakhi, sending their coordinates to the customers. They were taken from the caches by intermediaries, who, in addition to the four assault rifles, brought 68 magazines and more than 2,000 cartridges. Most of the magazines were loaded before being sent, which, according to the investigation, confirms that the alleged members of the Ingush link of the terrorist group knew what they were planning to do. According to the testimony of the persons involved in the investigation, they were paid more than 1 million rubles for the weapons and ammunition.
On November 1, the Basmanny District Court extended the pre-trial detention of Medov and Aushev until December 22. The hearing was listed as open in the Moscow City Court database, but after the court had only established the identities of the defendants, the trial was closed. Introducing themselves to the court, Dzhabrail Aushev and Khusein Medov said that they were unemployed with secondary education. Medov is a disabled person of the second group due to bronchial asthma.
After the trial, representatives of the accused said that they denied their participation in the terrorist attack, but admitted involvement in the illegal circulation of weapons and ammunition, stating that they worked only with intermediaries, and therefore could not imagine who would end up with the guns and how they would be used.
According to the investigation, the members of the militant wing of the Batal-Khadzhi Belkhoroev religious movement, which is recognized as terrorist and banned in Russia, are connected not only with adherents of extremist movements in Islam, but also with Ukrainian special services. This fits in with the version about the Ukrainian trace in the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus, which was previously made public by the leadership of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation and the FSB, the publication says.
