Thirteen Dagestani residents sentenced to imprisonment in case on riots at Makhachkala airport

In the Stavropol Territory, two courts sentenced thirteen residents of Dagestan to terms of imprisonment ranging from 7 to 10.5 years. Two of the defendants, in addition to participating in mass riots and violating transport safety rules, have been found guilty of attacking police inspectors. The above information is reported by the Telegram channel of the Prosecutor’s Office for the Stavropol Territory.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that the first court hearing in the case on riots at the airport in Makhachkala took place in November 2024. Two out of the eight defendants, in addition to participating in mass riots and violating transport safety rules, were accused of attacking police inspectors.

The case on riots at the Makhachkala airport needs further investigation, since at the regular trial, public prosecutors presented evidence with general wording, without examining the guilt and actions of each of the defendants, advocates believe.

By January 16, 28 criminal cases against 135 people accused of participating in the riots at the Makhachkala airport had been sent to courts. Other seven persons, including three alleged organizers of the riots, have been put on the wanted list.
