[KavkazUzel] Investigators believe two residents of Dagestan participated in the activities of an international terrorist organization, and one of them recruited a minor.Â
The criminal prosecution of two Dagestani residents was based on materials from the republic's FSB department. Both are accused of participating in the activities of a terrorist organization, and one of the defendants is also suspected of assisting terrorist activity by involving a minor (Part 2 of Article 205.5 and Part 2 of Article 205.1 of the Russian Criminal Code, which carry a sentence of 10 to 20 years in prison).Â
According to investigators, one of the suspects, from November 2025 to April 2026, while in Derbent, promoted terrorist ideas "aimed at expanding and resuming the activities of a banned organization." The second suspect, via instant messaging, convinced a minor he knew to join the same terrorist organization. The teenager eventually agreed and "committed actions indicating participation in its activities," the Dagestan Investigative Committee reported on its Telegram channel.Â
The investigation's statement does not specify which terrorist organization is being referred to. The agency also does not disclose the ages and occupations of the suspects or indicate the preventive measures they have been given. However, investigators have not ruled out the possibility that they will be charged with other criminal offenses that have not yet been identified.
