[KavkazUzel] Security forces may mention in criminal cases the functioning of the Caucasus Emirate

cell in Ingushetia in order to demonstrate their work, orientalist Alexei Malashenko believes. There is no credibility to the version of the investigation about this cell, since there have been cases when special services published false information, said human rights activist Magomed Mutsolgov. It is possible that the "Emirate of the Caucasus" began to be mentioned again in criminal cases due to the aggravation of the problem of separatism, lawyer Timofei Shirokov suggested.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on October 26, the Investigative Committee reported on the completion of the investigation of the criminal case against members of the international terrorist organization "Caucasus Emirate", Arbi Bataev, Adam and Timur Kodzoev, and Iriskhan Mereshkov. They were charged with participation in the activities of a terrorist organization, an illegal armed formation, illegal trafficking in weapons, ammunition, explosives and explosive devices.

In July 2015, an audio message was circulated on the Internet, in which the head of the organization "Emarat Kavkaz," Aslan Byutukaev swore an oath to the leader of the international terrorist organization "Islamic State" banned in Russia by a court on behalf of all Chechen militants.

Byutukaev was involved in the terrorist attack at Domodedovo airport in 2011 and the attack of Chechen fighters on Grozny on December 4, 2014, according to the biography of  Aslan Byutukaev, published by the "Caucasian Knot". 

Aleksey Malashenko,  chief researcher at the IMEMO named after Primakov RAS, doubted the reliability of the version of the Sledkom about the existence of a cell of the "Caucasus Emirate" in Ingushetia.

"Today, such an organization as the Caucasus Emirate simply does not exist. Probably, some pretext was needed in order to classify the accused as the Caucasus Emirate. They are completely different from IS. The Caucasus Emirate is as if "greetings from the past," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

The analyst suggested that the mention of the "Caucasus Emirate" could serve as a demonstration of the work of the security forces.

"Maybe someone for personal reasons. Maybe they thought that the Caucasus Emirate* is a more specific enemy. And in general, you need to show that the struggle is underway. someone gave up, being an adherent of the "Caucasus Emirate." he said.

The human rights activist Magomed Mutsolgov also expressed doubt that a cell of the "Caucasus Emirate" operates in Ingushetia.

"Based on my own experience of such cases, I can say that there is no trust in the versions of the special services and the investigation in such cases," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Mutsolgov added that there were cases when the special services and the investigation published information that did not correspond to reality.

It is difficult to explain why the Caucasus Emirate has again been mentioned in criminal cases due to lack of data, said lawyer Timofey Shirokov, who led a number of cases related to terrorism and extremism as a lawyer.

"Even if IS* was initially announced, then during the investigation it is technically not difficult to change it to the Kavkaz Emirate*. They say that new data appeared, according to which the detainees turned out to be members of the Kavkaz Emirate," he explained to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent "

In 2015-2017, almost all detainees in similar cases were declared members of IS. For example, intelligence officers could tell journalists that they had detained Hizb-ut-Tahrir members who were recruiting for IS. And although in reality there was no such case, but they could declare publicly, he added.

One of the reasons for the resumption of references in the criminal cases of the Kavkaz Emirate* may be the regional component, the lawyer believes. "This is a local organization. Perhaps, in the light of recent events, they decided to pay attention to the possible problem of separatism," Shirokov said.
