As the "Caucasian Knot" has reported, on October 5, 2021, a trial began in Rostov-on-Don in the criminal case of Aslan Gagiev, who is accused of organizing a criminal community and contract killings. At the first meeting, on October 4, 2021, the indictment was announced. Aslan Gagiev pleaded not guilty, but two days later he confessed to the contract killing of Kazbek Pagiev, Deputy Prime Minister of North Ossetia. In June 2018, Aslan Gagiev was extradited to Russia from Austria. He is accused of organizing a criminal community, three gangs, arms trafficking and six murders in 2012-2013. In particular, he was charged with the murders of the deputy prosecutor of the Industrial District of Vladikavkaz Oleg Oziev in 2013 and three businessmen: Taimur Kadzaev, Valery Laliev and Alan Torchinov. The accused did not admit that he organized these murders, according to the biography of Aslan Gagiev , published on the "Caucasian Knot". The Southern District Military Court continued to consider the case of Aslan Gagiev, the 360 ​​TV channel reported today, publishing a video from the meeting. In the published video, Gagiev addresses the court from a glass room for the defendants. "It turns out that I did not create alone, but together with other persons? What happens, I share with them, respected court, the fate? Or do I get a discount? If there are three of them, then we divide by 30% of each: 30% I created, 30% he created. I ask you to voice the degree of my "creation" as a percentage ... I do not agree with your accusation," Aslan Gagiev says in the video. In the published fragment of the video, the defendant did not specify whether it was about the creation of a criminal community (Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) or three episodes of creating gangs (Article 209 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), which he is charged with. Gagiev also asked the court where the possible accomplices were and whether they were being searched for, according to a publication on the TV channel's website. The case of 12 alleged members of the criminal community of Aslan Gagiev has been considered by the Second Western District Military Court in Moscow since December 2018. On April 19, a closed debate on their case was held. The state prosecutor demanded for the defendants, including three officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from 15 years in prison to life imprisonment. The meeting on the Gagiev case took place today, according to the case card on the court website. Since the preliminary hearing, which took place on September 7, 2021, 82 court sessions have taken place. According to the file of the case, 77 times the sessions were adjourned, twice the sessions were postponed due to the absence of the defendant, including due to illness.
