According to the defender, "they themselves are not interesting to the investigation, they are used as a means of pressure on Rauf Arashukov."

In early March, it became known that Raul Arashukov, adviser to the director general of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz, was charged with embezzlement and the creation of a criminal community. His son Rauf Arashukov was detained on January 30.

Rauf Arashukov has been charged under three counts related to contract killings.
