Said Amirov brought to Moscow hospital for medical examination

Said Amirov, Mayor of Makhachkala, who was dismissed from his position, was brought to a Moscow hospital for a medical examination. This was told to the "Caucasian Knot" by a source close to Said Amirov.

Let us remind you that earlier, advocates of Said Amirov repeatedly stated that he could not be kept in custody in connection with his health state. On November 1, the defence of the dismissed Makhachkala Mayor appealed to Veronika Skvortsova, Minister of Public Health, to intervene with the situation with Said Amirov's medical treatment at the SIZO (pre-trial prison).

From the hospital, Said Amirov is to be brought to the Basmanny Court to the court session. Then, Said Amirov will be returned to the hospital for further medical examinations, the newspaper "Izvestiya" reports.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on June 1, the police detained Said Amirov on suspicion of involvement in the attempt on the life of Arsen Gadjibekov, a Dagestani investigator. On the day after his detention, the official was brought to Moscow, where the court decided to take him into custody, and on July 26, his arrest was extended till November 11.
