[KavkazUzel] A court in Moscow has extended by three months the arrest of the Belkharoyevs'
also known as Batalkhadzhins, they’re followers of Sheikh Batal-Khadji (also known as Batal-haji Belkharoyev), revered Sufi Islam teacher during the early part of the 20th century in Ingushetia and other parts of the North Caucasus. They appear to engage in the usual misbehaviours common to the region...
lawyer, Timur Idalov, who is suspected of threatening a prosecutor with violence.

The " Caucasian Knot " has reported that on April 12 Moscow lawyer Timur Idalov was detained and then arrested until June 10 . He is suspected of threatening violence against a representative of the authorities during a court session (Part 1 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

According to investigators, on October 3, 2022, the lawyer, while in the courtroom, expressed "threats of violence against the public prosecutor." Lawyer Murad Musaev called the accusation "sucked out of thin air."

"He had an ordinary skirmish with the public prosecutor in the courtroom, and now, six months later, they decided to qualify the remark he made then as a threat," Murad Musayev said. According to him, referring to the prosecutor, Timur Idalov just said: "Are you [the character of the Italian series about the mafia] Commissioner Cattani? That's how he was shot."

The Presnensky Court of Moscow has extended Timur Idalov's arrest until September 12, SOTAvision reports today.

At the same time, Timur Idalov himself asked the court to release him on bail of a million rubles or on bail, according to a publication in the telegram channel of the publication.

Recall that Timur Idalov represents the interests of the Belkharoevs in the case of the murder of the head of the Ingush Center "E" Ibragim Eldzharkiev. In 2021, the head of the Accounts Chamber of Ingushetia, Mustafa Belkharoev, complained that after the detention of his son Alikhan in the case of the murder of the head of the regional center, he was subjected to severe torture. Alikhan Belkharoev himself spoke about torture. After that, the security forces conducted two searches in the house of Mustafa Belkharoev in two months. Lawyer Timur Idalov called these searches revenge on the father and son Belkharoev.

The head of the Ingush Center for Emergency Medicine, Ibragim Eldzharkiev, and his brother, a Moscow hospital doctor, Akhmed Eldzharkiev, were shot dead in Moscow on November 2, 2019. Businessman Khasan Polonkoev has been named as the head of the group involved in the murder. Eldzharkiev's murder was recognized as a terrorist attack. In March 2021, investigative actions in the case  were completed.

Members of the Batal-hadji brotherhood, which has great influence in modern Ingushetia, are called Batalkhadzhins or Belkharoys. Batal-haji Belkhoroev is an Ingush sheikh, the founder of one of the Kadiri branches (virds), a follower of sheikh Kunta-haji, according to the reference of the "Caucasian Knot" "Batal-haji and his followers."
