[KavkazUzel] A resident of Nalchik has been put on the wanted list, suspected of collecting money for a terrorist organization, investigators reported. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, in May 2023, a military court recognized Nalchik resident Khabibulla Isaratov as a member of the terrorist organization "Caucasus Emirate"* and sentenced him to 10.5 years in prison. The creation of the Caucasus Emirate was announced on October 7, 2007 by the president of the unrecognized Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, Dokku Umarov. In June 2015, militants of the Caucasus Emirate swore allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State terrorist organization, according to the Caucasian Knot material "Caucasus Emirate *". A criminal case has been opened against a resident of Nalchik under Part 1 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (financing of terrorist activities), the ICR department for Kabardino-Balkaria reported. According to investigators, in January 2015, the woman “with the aim of participating in the activities of the international terrorist organization Caucasus Emirate” moved to Syria and “joined the ranks of an illegal armed group.” “Subsequently, while living in the territory of a neighboring state, in order to finance terrorist activities, she organized through a banking application the collection of funds to provide resources for the organization,” says the publication posted on March 19 on the department’s website. The suspect has been put on the international wanted list, the report says. “The investigation is taking measures to collect evidence, as well as to establish other possible facts of violation of criminal law,” the Investigative Committee noted. Part 1 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for from seven to 15 years of imprisonment. |
