On September 17 in central Vladikavkaz militiamen detained Azamat Aguzarov, who sharply criticised the authorities at the rally held on September 15. This is reported by the author of the blog "Ossetia and Around: View from Inside", placed on the website of the "Caucasian Knot".

Businessman Azamat Aguzarov was detained under the pretext of document check until his person is identified; he was released a couple of hours later. The details of his conversation at the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) are unknown yet. Before detention, Aguzarov made a record on the "Odnoklassniki" (Schoolmates) resource that three MIA employees persistently urged him to come with them to their boss for a talk.

The businessman wrote on September 16 that he received a call in the morning from his friend from the MIA, who said that the information division of the Ministry was ordered to "dig out" all his slightest sins," including those, "related to his economic activities."

And in the evening he was called by his father's assistant who said that they were visited by agents first from the district and then from the republic's OBEP (Department for Fighting Economic Crime), looked for Azamat and said that they had been ordered to check up the enterprise.
