[KavkazUzel] The surviving participant in the attack on police officers that took place on May 5 in Makhachkala has been remanded in custody until July 5 at the request of the investigation, but remains in hospital in serious condition. He has been charged with four criminal offenses.
As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, on May 5, there was an attack on a traffic police unit in Makhachkala, the police were shot at with machine guns. In the shootout, two police officers were killed, two more security officers and three civilians were wounded. The Investigative Committee announced that one of the attackers survived and is in the hospital, and also admitted guilt. The attackers chose the moment when the police were registering the accident for the attack.
The attack on security forces on May 5 does not appear to have been carefully planned, civilians were clearly random victims, and the police officers on duty were chosen as the most accessible target. This attack is only indirectly connected to recent armed incidents in Dagestan, although all of these incidents stem from common premises that the authorities have not eliminated over the years of fighting the underground, analysts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" pointed out.
The surviving participant in the attack on the police officers has been remanded in custody for one month and 24 days, until July 5, according to a message today on the Telegram channel of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Dagestan.
The arrested person is accused of committing crimes under Article 317 (attempt on the life of law enforcement officers), Article 166 (hijacking without intent to steal), Article 222 (illegal arms trafficking) and Article 226 (theft of arms) of the Criminal Code of Russia.
The measure of restraint for the detainee was chosen by the Sovietsky District Court of Makhachkala at the request of the investigation. According to the materials received by the court, on May 5, 2025, the accused, together with another accomplice to the crime, attacked traffic police officers in Makhachkala with knives and, having seized their service firearms and stolen a patrol car, fled in it.
Continuing to implement their criminal intent, the criminals fired aimed shots at the police officers. As a result of the actions of the accused and his accomplice, who was killed during the capture, both law enforcement officers died. Having reviewed the materials, the court ruled to choose a measure of restraint for the accused in the form of detention for a period of 1 month and 24 days, that is, until July 5, 2025, the United Press Service of the Courts of General Jurisdiction of Dagestan reported today on its Telegram channel.
The accused in the attack on police officers in Makhachkala, who was wounded by law enforcement officers, remains in hospital in serious condition. "The accused is still in the medical facility, his condition is serious," RIA Novosti quotes a representative of the press service of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Dagestan as saying.
One of the two security officers killed on May 5, police officer Gazibeg Shakhbanov, was buried in the Tlyaratinsky district, where he was from. Shakhbanov was married but had no children, the father of the murdered man told the Mash Gor Telegram channel.
