Kommersant: Dagestan Magomedov is charged

The leader of the Donbass militants, who was supposedly intended to kill, in the Smolensk region, Dagestan Medjid Magomedov, is, according to some reports, the large functioner of another Russia Sergey Fomchenkov, now the commander of the DPR reconnaissance and storm battalion. Such information is transmitted without links to the sources "Kommersant".

Fomchenkov is a native of Smolensk. According to the publication, he often goes there on vacation.

However, the other Russia himself in the commentary "Kommersant" called it unlikely that the attempt was being prepared for him. “I am almost always in the DPR, I rarely visit Smolensk,” the leader of the militants noted.

The 44-year-old Fomchenkov has been fighting in the LPR and the DPR for several years. It was in his battalion that the writer Zakhar Prilepin was a political instructor .

Fomchenkova’s wife Taisiya Osipova, in the 2000s of the NBP activist, was convicted in Smolensk by eight years in a general regime in the fabricated case of drug trade. She freed herself parole in February 2017 , having served in prison for more than six years.

In "other Russia" the persecution of Osipova was explained by the desire to put pressure on her husband. Fomuchenkov himself in the early 2010s openly lived in Moscow, but avoided visiting the Smolensk region.

The FSB announced the detention of 30-year-old Magomedov on Monday morning . It was claimed that the Dagestan was seized on September 9. Initially, the media reported that he was detained in the city of Yartsevo; Then this clarification from publications disappeared.

According to the special services and the video recording of the testimony of Magomedov, at the beginning of this year, the Dagestan arrived in Ukraine to “resolve issues ... on the resource support of the North Caucasian Band of Band of the“ Islamic State ”at the beginning of this year. The emissaries allegedly introduced Magomedov to the activists of the "Right Sector", and those with the SBU operative, who introduced himself as Rustam. The operative supposedly gave the Dagestan the task of killing the leader of the militants.

The plot of the case was presented with a mass of internal contradictions. In particular, the FSB report stated that Magomedov arrived in the Smolensk region, "having previously received from the" curators "the funds of the crime that were removed from the caches laid down on the territory of the Russian Federation."

Magomedov himself in the testimony stated: "To understand how we can work, they gave us the first order ... They said that after the operation they would give us 10 thousand dollars." Whom he had in mind, speaking of the participants as if the planned operation "we" was not explained.

The detainee also claimed that the Ukrainian special services actively help the IS, including finances and weapons, so that the Islamists commit terrorist attacks in Russia. It was stated that the members of the IG "actively involved" Ukraine for the murder of the leaders of the DPR and the LPR. Not a single concrete example of the murders already committed by Islamists was given.

For what articles of the Criminal Code qualified the case, the FSB did not specify.
