[KavkazUzel] The case of a resident of Stavropol Territory Albert Elakaev and a resident of Chechnya Alimkhan Musaev, whom investigators consider to be participants in the attack on the Botlikh district of Dagestan in 1999, has been sent to court.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in September 2021, the investigation reported on the detention of natives of the Stavropol Territory Albert Elakaev and Alimkhan Musaev in the case of the attack by the Basaev and Khattab group on Dagestan in 1999.

On August 7, 1999, more than a thousand armed fighters from Chechnya entered the territory of Dagestan under the leadership of Shamil Basayev
...a.k.a.Shamil Basaev, Shamil Salmanovich Basayev, his kunya "Abu Idris" and Emir Abdullah Shamil Abu-Idris (1965-2006). Chechen warlord in the post-Soviet Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, linked to Al Qaeda. After his death it became the Caucasus Emirate. In 2015 most of the hard boys changed their allegiance to the local Islamic State affiliate, Vilayat Kavkaz, whereupon a majority chose to escape the Russians hunting them by making hijra to the caliphate in Syria, where those not dead yet remain. Some of his projects were the 2004 Beslan school siege and the 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis. In 2003, the US State Department designated three Chechen groups affiliated with Shamil Basaev as terrorists, accusing them of receiving millions of dollars from Al Qaeda...
 and Jordanian Amir Khattab.
Habib Abdur Rehman Khattab, a Saudi by birth, according to our archives — which does not mean he wasn’t also Jordanian as lots of families sprawl across the Arab world — was head of the International Islamic Brigade, which took part in the first Chechen war in 1994. As a teen, Khattab had fought in Afghanistan alongside Osama bin Laden, then drifted to Tajikistan, where he became a brilliant commander before moving to Chechnya to be operations commander under Basaev and was his direct connection to Bin Laden. Russian intelligence killed him in Chechnya in 2002.
Fighting continued in the republic for more than a month. Only on September 15, 1999, Russian Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev reported that the territory of Dagestan had been completely liberated, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Invasion of militants into Dagestan (1999)."

Investigations of criminal cases against "residents of the Stavropol Territory Albert Elakaev and the Chechen Republic Alimkhan Musaev" have been completed. They are accused of participating in a stable armed group (gang) and armed rebellion, as well as encroachment on the lives of servicemen, the Russian Investigative Committee said today.

According to the investigation, in August 1999, Elakaev and Musaev, "acting as part of a stable armed group under the general leadership of Shamil Basaev and Emir Khattab, took an active part in an armed rebellion" and "committed an encroachment on the lives of servicemen of the armed forces of the Russian Federation," the statement says. in today's post on the department's website.

The cases of participation in the gangs of Basayev and Khattab are of the same type and are often falsified, lawyer Narine Hayrapetyan told the "Caucasian Knot" earlier. "Witnesses are the same everywhere. Five witnesses are usually taken - three secret witnesses and two open ones," the lawyer explained. She stressed that these cases are also fabricated against the innocent, when "under threat, including torture, other people are forced to testify against them."
