In Ingushetia, the house of one of the protest leaders is being searched for the fourth time.

In the city of Karabulak, Ingushetia, the house of one of the protest leaders, Akhmed Pogorov, is being searched. This was reported by the FortangaORG channel, lawyer Kaloy Akhilgov confirmed the information on his Twitter.

Akhilgov notes that this is the fourth search in the activist's house. It is also reported that several neighborhoods in Karabulak have been cordoned off: law enforcement officers are searching the houses of Pogorov's neighbors. They have already detained Pogorov's older brother, cousin and nephew.

A couple of days ago, Akhmed Pogorov made a video about corruption during the construction of a residential microdistrict in the city of Malgobek.

12:37 Lawyer Magomed Bekov told MBKh Media that the search was over. Nothing forbidden was found in the houses. According to Bekov, security officials detained several nephews and brother of Akhmed Pogorov. They were taken to the police station. In addition, their phones were confiscated.

13:59 "FortangaORG" reports that the security forces were looking for Akhmed Pogorov himself - he is on the federal wanted list.

It is known that searches took place in about ten houses. The security forces carefully examined the premises, even checking the attics, basements and outbuildings.

The nephew of the activist Bilan, as well as Pogorov's two brothers Ismail and Magomed, were taken away, according to preliminary information, to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Ingushetia "for interrogation on the fact of the search."

After the search, the security forces checked various social media pages for photos taken by witnesses to the search. Law enforcement officers found a couple of pictures, got angry and began to threaten a second search.

14:09 Bilan, the nephew of Akhmed Pogovor, was released from the police.
