Moreover, some of Magomed-Sultan’s contacts make not only the regional security forces tense, but also the Lubyanka. Last fall, at the big request of the same tandem, the odious Jafar Abuev, who is now on the run, and known for his connections with an organized crime group, whose members are accused, among other things, of committing murders, came to see Melikov.
