As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the first hearing on the case of riots at the Makhachkala airport took place in November 2024 in the Industrial Court of Stavropol. Two of the eight defendants, in addition to participating in mass riots and violating transport safety rules, are accused of attacking police officers. Earlier, the Soviet Court in Stavropol began considering the second case on riots in Makhachkala, five defendants are accused of participating in mass riots and violating transport safety requirements. The case of the riots at the Makhachkala airport needs further investigation, since at the latest trial the prosecution presented evidence with general wording, without examining the guilt and actions of each of the defendants, believe the lawyers who represented the interests of the defendants in the Soviet District Court. The Sovetsky District Court of Stavropol Krai and the Promyshlenniy District Court of Stavropol have sentenced thirteen residents of Dagestan accused in the case of riots at the Makhachkala airport in October 2023, Interfax reported today. "The court, taking into account the position of the state prosecutor, taking into account the nature and degree of public danger of the crimes committed and the role of each, sentenced the defendants to 7 to 10.5 years in a general regime penal colony," the agency quoted the Stavropol Territory prosecutor's office as saying. The defendants were found guilty of participating in mass riots (Part 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and failure to comply with transport safety requirements (Part 3 of Article 263.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Also, two of them (Mukhamad Asadov and Shamil Gulmagomedov, as indicated in the case file on the court's website) were found guilty of attacking police officers, according to a message on the Telegram channel of the Stavropol Territory Prosecutor's Office. | |
