US imposed sanctions against Interior Minister Grozny

The corresponding statement was published by the State Department.

The department called Iraskhanov "responsible for the execution without proper trial of 27 men."

In May, the US Treasury Department included five Russians and the Terek special squad on the sanctions list.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, noted that American sanctions indicate the right path for the development of Chechnya.

In late April, the State Department banned the entry into the United States of the chairman of the Chechen government, Muslim Khuchiev and his wife.
