[REGNUM] On the night of June 16, six prisoners in Rostov-on-Don managed to escape from the cells of the local pre-trial detention center and took two detention center employees hostage. The criminals called themselves supporters of IS (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in Russia).
The invaders demanded a car, weapons and the opportunity to leave the country, but their plan did not work. Special forces quickly eliminated the militants and freed the employees.
WHAT HAPPENED
On Sunday morning it became known that in Rostov pre-trial detention center No. 1, prisoners took hostage two employees of the institution - the head of the operational department of the Main Directorate of the Federal Penitentiary Service, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Bogma and duty shift inspector Viktor Konchakov.
Before this, six criminals knocked out the previously weakened window bars in their cell and got out into the courtyard of the institution. Then they entered the premises of the duty station, where they captured the FSIN employees.
Armed with knives, fire axes and sharpeners, the criminals recorded a video message in which, in particular, they spoke about belonging to a terrorist organization. They also demanded a car, weapons and unhindered travel abroad. Otherwise, the militants promised to kill the two hostages.
Negotiations began: the security forces tried to persuade the militants to release the hostages and surrender. The criminals were blocked on the territory of the detention center and were not allowed to enter the weapons room. At the same time, the pre-trial detention center functioned as usual.
The area nearby was quickly cordoned off, roads were blocked, and law enforcement officers rushed to the scene. Special forces soldiers from the Federal Penitentiary Service and Special Operations Brigade, as well as ambulances and rescuers, also arrived there.
It was quickly possible to establish the identities of the militants - they were Shamil Akiev, Tamerlan Gireev and Azamat Tsitskiev, who had previously planned to blow up the building of the Supreme Court of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, and were then sentenced by the court to long prison terms. Akiev and Gireev were sentenced to 18 years in prison, Tsitskiev - to 18 and a half.
Also in the group of criminals was Malik Gandaloev, a former medical student who became interested in radical Islam; he had previously been detained in Ingushetia for preparing for a terrorist attack.
Negotiations with the militants, in which the imam of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Rostov Region, Muhammed Bakmaev, participated, did not lead to success; special forces began an assault on the Rostov detention center. The security forces opened fire to kill, eliminating the criminals in just three minutes. The FSIN employees who were held hostage were released and were practically unharmed. No bystanders were injured either.
Now law enforcement officers will have to understand the details of what happened and establish how the militants were able to realize their plans. The Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case, law enforcement officers are conducting an investigation under Article 206 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Hostage-taking”).
"SPREAD OF DESTRUCTIVE IDEAS"
The daring crime had been prepared for a long time, and accomplices of the militants probably participated in it. Questions arise: who supervised them outside the pre-trial detention center, and were there any “assistants” in the detention center? After all, the criminals managed to arm themselves, obtain the symbols of a banned terrorist organization - and all this under 24-hour surveillance.
The prisoners were in different cells, but there was communication between them for a long time, probably at least a month. How they managed to weaken the bars and where they got their smartphones from are questions that the investigation will have to answer.
Now the relatives of the criminals are being searched.
“ The taking of hostages in the Rostov pre-trial detention center is the result of a lack of prevention of extremism and the spread of destructive ideas in the FSIN system,” says State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein.
They will probably check pre-trial detention centers throughout Russia, because this is not the first time that the problem of extremists recruiting prisoners inside FSIN institutions has been raised.
“ Now that the hostages have been released, I can say one thing: anyone who breaks the law must be held accountable,” said the governor of the Rostov region Vasily Golubev.
According to him, immediately after the incident, provocateurs with obvious anti-Russian sentiments began to be active on social networks, trying to incite hostility between peoples. Law enforcement officers will also have to deal with them.

The bodies of terrorists liquidated in the Rostov pre-trial detention center will not be given to their relatives
Relatives of the terrorists who took hostages in the Rostov pre-trial detention center will not receive their bodies for burial, lawyer Dmitry Agranovsky said on June 16.
“They are not issued for burial and the place of their burial is not reported,” Gazeta.Ru reported the words of the lawyer.
Agranovsky referred to Article 14.1 Part 1 of the Federal Law “On Burial and Burial Matters.” According to the document, the burial of persons against whom criminal prosecution has been terminated due to their death is carried out in accordance with the procedure established by the government.
During the assault, security forces eliminated terrorists who had taken two employees of pre-trial detention center No. 1 hostage in the Rostov region. The FSIN employees who were held hostage were released and were not injured.
The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under the article on hostage-taking.
According to law enforcement agencies, the terrorists had been preparing to take hostages for several months. They loosened the cell bars in advance so that they could get out into the yard at the right moment. After taking hostages, the terrorists demanded a car and weapons. The invaders called themselves supporters of IS (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in Russia).
According to the source, three of the six defendants who took hostages planned to blow up the Supreme Court building in Karachay-Cherkessia in 2023. FSB officers detained them.
Adds kavkaz-uzel.eu:
According to the court, the defendants established contacts with militants in Syria, after which, on their instructions, they arrived in Cherkessk, where they rented an apartment and chose one of the administrative buildings as the target of attack. All three were found guilty of preparing for a terrorist attack, the FSB reported on May 14, 2024, noting that the verdict had already entered into force.

Dudayev denied the involvement of natives of Chechnya in the hostage-taking in Rostov-on-Don
...Among the prisoners who took hostages in the Rostov pre-trial detention center, there were no natives of Chechnya, said the Minister of National Policy of the Republic Akhmed Dudayev.
“Concerning the events in the Rostov pre-trial detention center, many, including official media, are disseminating information about the criminals that is not entirely accurate. I officially declare that none of the killed terrorists are Chechens. Once again I urge journalists to carefully check the information before publishing it,” - he wrote in his telegram channel.
