Investigators verify the involvement of Ramazan Aliev, the former chair of the Dagestani government, in several episodes related to possible abuse of authority.

Ramazan Aliev was interrogated and then detained. According to a source close to the law enforcement bodies, the official was suspected of abusing official authority and causing losses amounting to millions of roubles.
