 In years past, gangs in the North Caucasus were financed not only from abroad, but also by corrupt officials, drug traffickers, criminal gangs, automobile theft, and robbery. The head of the FSB in Ingushetia, Vladimir Gurba, announced this on Saturday at a press conference.
«For us the most urgent thing remaining is that many officials who worked in the government organs at one time or another have engaged in providing support to the activities of the militant underground,» he said. According to him, these officials have been «given up by detained militant leader Magas.» Under this moniker acted terrorist Ali Taziev, who was arrested by FSB officers in June of this year. According to investigators, he was involved in a series of high-profile crimes, including an assassination attempt on the president of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Evkurov. According Gurba, with regards to the suspected officials, «we have carried out and are carrying out investigations in terms of reinforcing materials proving their financing of the militant underground. We have gone through the case materials of those individuals named by Magas in order to start corruption trials,» said the FSB branch chief. According to him, «If you look at Magas' net worth, it is several million dollars.» Speaking of foreign financial support of militants, Gurba noted that the activities of foreign terrorist centers were aimed at destabilizing the situation in the North Caucasus. In June of 2010, Militant leader Ali Taziev, also known as Magas, was captured without a fight in a private residence on the outskirts of the Ingush town of Malgobek. The detainee was involved in the abduction of relatives of the former president of Ingushetia, Zyazikov. In 2009, he organized the bombings at the Interior Ministry building in Nazran, killing a large number of police officers. In 2004, Taziev, together with Shamil Basayev, organized an attack on Nazran. Since 2004 there have been active measures carried out in the search for him, and the investigative department of the FSB is looking into crimes committed by the arrested militant. In 'News.mail.ru'
