This was reported by the Supreme Court of the republic. The decision to extend Omarov's detention was made by the Kirov District Court. The former head of the Sergokalinsky district was detained under Part 4 of Article 174.1 of the Russian Criminal Code (legalization or laundering of funds or other property acquired as a result of committing a crime, in an especially large amount by an organized group), TASS wrote, citing a source. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on June 23, Omarov was detained and interrogated due to the possible involvement of his sons in the terrorist attacks in Derbent and Makhachkala; searches were conducted at his place of residence. It later became known that among the militants eliminated by the special services was Omarov's 31-year-old son Osman. On June 25, it became known that Omarov had been detained in a case of petty hooliganism. On July 5, he was released after 10 days of administrative arrest. However, on July 6, Omarov was detained on suspicion of committing economic crimes, and a criminal case was opened against him.
