Markin: Amirov hired gang of killers to assassinate Gadjibekov
The investigator Arsen Gadjibekov was killed by a gang under the order of Said Amirov, because he was investigating a case of abuses committed by employees of the administration of Makhachkala, said Vladimir Markin, the head of the department for media relations of the Investigating Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF).
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that today the North-Caucasian District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don has announced the verdict on the case of the ex-Mayor of Makhachkala Said Amirov. He has been sentenced to life-long imprisonment. Seven other defendants in the case: Yusup Djaparov, Murad Aliev, two Akhmedov brothers, Magomed Kadiev and Zubair Mutaev were awarded sentences ranging from 10 to 22 years in prison.
The figurants in the case were charged, in particular, with the murder of Arsen Gadjibekov, the head of the investigating division for the Sovietskiy District of Makhachkala of the ICRF, who was shot dead on December 24, 2011, in the city of Kaspiysk, and the terror act committed at the shopping-entertaining centre "Moskva" on April 2, 2011, in Kaspiysk.
The guilt of Amirov and other defendants had been proved by investigators and the court, said Markin, noting that "being disaffected with Gadjibekov's active investigative actions, Amirov ordered his murder to a gang, led by Magomed Abdulgalimov, an assistant to the City Prosecutor of Kizlyar."
According to Markin, the shelling of the above shopping centre in Kaspiysk only "by good fortune had no victims" and fit quite well into the overall scheme of actions of the criminal grouping.
