Ex-officer blamed for disappearance of 3 men in Chechnya
MOSCOW. May 8 (Interfax) - An arrest warrant has been issued for
Badrudi Yamadayev, a former officer in a special forces battalion based
in Chechnya, as the suspected organizer of a crime in which three men
went missing in Chechnya in February 2007, a spokesman for a criminal
investigation authority said.
Yusup and Yunus Arsamakov, brothers of Russian banker Abubakar
Arsamakov, were in a car traveling between two villages in Chechnya when
they went missing. Their driver, Khamzat Magomadov, disappeared with
them, a spokesman for the Chechen branch of the Russian Prosecution
Service Criminal Investigation Committee, told Interfax by telephone.
"Their tracks were lost in a mountain area. The hot-on-the-heels
search for the criminals proved fruitless," the spokesman said.
"It has been established in the course of an investigation that
Badrudi Yamadayev was the organizer of this crime," he said.
Earlier, other Chechen official sources said Yamadayev had been
involved in the 2007 murder of pop singer Milana Balayeva, who was
popular in the Caucasus, and her mother in their apartment in the
Chechen capital Grozny.
