Political allies of former head of Daghestan detained
The Daghestani security services have detained the acting Deputy Chair of the Government, Ramazan Aliyev, and former Minister of Health Tanka Ibragimov on fraud charges. Both were close political allies of the former head of Daghestan, Ramazan Abdulatipov. Abdulatipov — who resigned as head of Daghestan unexpectedly in September — personally hired Aliyev, from Saratov region, and Ibragimov, from Moscow. According to Rosbalt, investigators plan to question Abdulatipov in the Aliyev case.
