The Association has emphasized that neither Tumso himself nor his advocate will be able to comment on the details of the investigation.

On March 1, the Norwegian television TV2 Channel published a large material on its website dedicated to the attack on Abdurakhmanov. The article states that the incident occurred "in the quiet town of Gavle in central Sweden."

"The Swedish police have accused the man of an attempted murder. The blogger who was seriously injured himself is in the hospital under police surveillance [...] The large Chechen community in exile in Scandinavia is shocked by what happened. Chechen leaders in Norway fear that a wave of deaths will come there, which recently had claimed the lives of several of their compatriots in Europe [...] They believe that Russian intelligence is now working freely in Europe," says the article translated by the "Caucasian Knot" by using the Google Translate.
