[KavkazUzel] A court in London placed Magomed-Husein Dovtaev, a native of Chechnya, under arrest, finding him guilty of attempting to collect information for a subsequent attack on employees of the Iranian opposition

television channel Iran International. Dovtaev told the court that he was framed.
"Bitch set me up"
According to investigators, 31-year-old native of Chechnya Magomed-Khusein Dovtaev filmed with a phone camera the facade of the building in which the Iranian opposition TV channel Iran International rented premises in order to then transfer the video to third parties. The investigation believes that this video could subsequently be used to bypass the building’s security system and carry out an attack on the channel’s employees, planned by Iranian intelligence services.

In Iran, the Iran International TV channel has been declared an extremist organization, TASS reported tonight.

A native of Chechnya was detained after he attracted the attention of security. In court, Dovtaev said that he was filming a beautiful view and “admiring the architecture,” he said that he was framed. A native of Chechnya explained that on December 11 he arrived in the UK from Austria, from the airport he went to a business park in west London, where the Iran International studio was then located, and that he was asked about this by a certain acquaintance, whose real name is unknown to Dovtaev.

The Central Criminal Court in London found Magomed-Khusein Dovtaev guilty of attempting to collect information that could be useful to terrorists. A native of Chechnya has been placed under arrest and will be sentenced on December 22. After the arrest of a native of Chechnya, Iran International TV channel decided to move the studio from the UK to the USA for security reasons.

The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that on December 11 it became known that a court in Germany decided to extradite a 21-year-old native of Chechnya, who, according to investigators, beat to death a gay pride parade participant in the city of Munster. The lawyer stated that his client himself is homosexual and that he has received threats from other people from Chechnya.
