After a re-check of the information that Murad Amriev is included in the federal wanted list, it has turned out that the athlete was removed from the wanted list. This was reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) for the Stavropol Territory.

On June 14, Murad Amriev filed a motion for closure of the criminal case against him in connection with the expiration of the statute of limitations. On June 15, it became known that the case against Murad Amriev had been closed.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in the evening of July 3, athlete Murad Amriev had to hide from the police in Pyatigorsk, since he was still in the federal wanted list base, the "Committee for the Prevention of Torture" reported. Human rights defender Igor Kalyapin appealed to the Minister of Internal Affairs with a request to immediately exclude the Murad Amriev's name from the federal wanted list base.

According to the police, on July 3, the on duty unit of the MIA's Division for Pyatigorsk got a message reporting about suspicious citizens in one of the apartments.
