The case on involvement of Zhamal Tumenov, a resident of Kabardino-Balkaria, in the terrorist organization "Islamic State" (IS), banned in Russia, has been sent to the court.

According to the General Prosecutor's Office of Russia, Zhamal Tumenov is charged under Articles of "involvement in activities of a terrorist organization", "involvement in illicit trafficking of weapons and ammunition as a member of an organized grouping", and "illicit drug trafficking".
