On February 12, Magomedrasul Magomedov, a brother of the lawyer Sapiyat Magomedova was detained in Khasavyurt. According to Sapiyat, her brother is suspected of raping a local woman. She treats his detention as a provocation and associates it with the pressure on her.

"My brother was framed," asserts Magomedova, noting that her brother does not deny the fact that he knew the woman who has applied against him.

She believes that her brother was detained in order to exert pressure on her and force her to refuse from the cases she is involved in.

According to her story, shortly before her brother's detention, pressure was put on her clients, former employees of the Khasavyurt OVD (Interior Division), now Categories II and III invalids, who had complained that the accounting office of the OVD was incorrectly calculating their monthly monetary compensations.
