The investigation asks the Basmanny court of Moscow to arrest the head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Kizlyar district of Dagestan police colonel Gazi Isayev on the case of terrorist attacks in 2010 in Moscow, the press secretary of the court Irina Sofinskaya told RIA Novosti.


"The Basmanny court received materials on the request of the investigator for the election of preventive measures in the form of detention of  Gazi  Isaevuntil January 4, 2021,"  the interlocutor of the agency said.


As reported earlier by IC representative Svetlana Petrenko, Isaev was detained in the case of terrorist acts on March 29, 2010, in Moscow at the subway stations "Lubyanka" and "Park of Culture". According to the IC, as a result of terrorist acts, 39 people were killed and more than 100 were wounded.


Isaev is accused of the crimes provided by part 3 of article 210, a part 3 of article 209, a paragraph "b" of part 3 of article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (participation in the criminal community, made by the person with use of the official position, banditry, terrorist act).


According to the investigation, Isaev was a member of the criminal association "Imarat Kavkaz"  ("Caucasus Emirate"). In 2009-2010, he provided information to the leaders of the "Caucasus Emirate" about the work of the Kizlyar District Police and special operations against terrorists.


"He repeatedly personally transported the heads of the structural subdivisions of the criminal community on the territory of the Republic of Dagestan, as well as personally delivered by car one of the suicide bombers with an improvised explosive device fixed on her to a bus station in the area of Kizlyar for her departure to Moscow and committing a terrorist act," Petrenko said.


In late March 2010, two powerful explosions occurred at the Lubyanka and Park Kultura stations at intervals of less than an hour. According to law enforcement officials, both stations were bombed by natives of Dagestan.


The organizer of the explosions was Magomedali Vagabov, one of the leaders of the subversive terrorist underground operating in Dagestan. In February 2013, the National Anti-Terrorist Committee of the Russian Federation reported the destruction of the last terrorist in Dagestan who was directly involved in organizing and carrying out terrorist acts in Moscow in 2010.


In September 2013, law enforcement agencies announced the elimination during a special operation of the head of the "Caucasus Emirate "* Doku Umarov, who had repeatedly claimed responsibility for major terrorist attacks, including explosions in the "Lubyanka" and "Park of Culture".
