A case against four members of the Islamic Jamaat has been brought to court in Bashkiria

The prosecutor's office of Bashkiria approved the indictment in the criminal case of four members of the "Islamic Jamaat". They are suspected of killing residents of the republic, including two police officers.

The suspects - two men and their wives - have been on the international wanted list since 2004. According to the senior assistant to the prosecutor of Bashkiria, Larisa Kuchina, they created "a stable organized group-gang, arranging field camps in the forests where they shot weapons."

On February 14, the case was referred to the Republican Supreme Court.
