During the searches, the detainees were found to have propaganda materials banned in Russia, communication devices and electronic media that were used in terrorist activities.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on February 14, 2003, the Supreme Court of Russia recognized Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami as a terrorist organization and banned its activities on the territory of the country.

In addition to propaganda literature and electronic media used for terrorist activities, large sums of Russian and foreign currency were confiscated from the cell members.
