Leaders of Tarkin communities detained in Dagestan

Today, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was informed by Arslanali Zeinalov, the Chairman of the Board of Elders, that Magomedamin Magomadov and Zalimkhan Valiev, the leaders of community councils of Tarkin settlements, were detained in Karaman, near Makhachkala. Residents of the above settlements demand their release under recognizance not to leave.

According to Zeinalov, Magomadov and Valiev are accused of arrogation: "The statement on opening a criminal case against them says that they have illegally allocated, under illegal contracts, the land plots on the seashore in the Kumtorkalin District, owned by the Limited Liability Company (LLC) 'PFK Mars' and the Forestry Agency, thus causing the damage of 185 million roubles."

"In other words, the territory had been sold out by officials; and when the public intervened and stopped their corrupt activities, they began seeking a way out by initiating such criminal cases," said Arslanali Zeinalov.
