As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, there are 27 criminal cases in the courts of Kuban and Stavropol regarding the riots in Makhachkala against 129 defendants, the Prosecutor General's Office reported in October. On November 29, the Industrial Court of Stavropol began to consider the case against three residents of Dagestan. The first court hearing was held in the Kochubeevsky District Court of the Stavropol Territory regarding four residents of the Republic of Dagestan who were charged in a criminal case regarding the riots at the Makhachkala airport, the Telegram channel "Pearl of the South" reported today. As indicated in the case file on the court's website, Radzhab Mutayev, Magomed Magomedbekov, Shamil Mugutdinov, Murtazali Murtazaliev are accused of participating in mass riots (Part 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), violating transport safety requirements (Part 3 of Article 263.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The case was submitted to the court on September 24, but the hearings were postponed three times due to the failure to deliver the defendant. As reported by the " Caucasian Knot ", the Armavir City Court sentenced the defendants in the case of the riots at the Makhachkala airport Anvarbek Atayev, Islam Ibragimov, Magomed Omaraskhabov, Rabadan Radzhabov and Salik Ramazanov to terms ranging from six years, four months to nine years. The court issued a harsh sentence without evidence of the defendants' guilt, said the lawyers and relatives of the convicted. The defense appealed the sentence, but the appellate court upheld it on November 25. The defense intends to appeal the sentence in the cassation court. The decision of the appellate court showed that the remaining sentences will also be harsh, said the head of the Public Monitoring Commission of Dagestan Shamil Khadulaev. 140 people are in custody  in criminal cases related to the riots at Uytash airport, 1,200 people have been brought to administrative responsibility, Dagestan Interior Minister Abdurashid Magomedov said on July 9.
What happened at Uytash airport and how the investigation is proceeding is described in the "Caucasian Knot" report " The Case of the Pogrom at Makhachkala Airport". Let us recall that from October 26 to 29, 2023, mass anti-Semitic actions took place in three republics of the North Caucasus. In Cherkessk, the protesters demanded that visitors from Israel not be allowed in, and in Nalchik, a cultural center was set on fire.
