The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on March 10 the Sovietskiy District Court of Makhachkala rejected the complaint of the advocate Tumas Misakyan, who asked to recognize the suspension of the above inquiry and the inaction of the investigator in charge illegal. The advocate appealed against the rejection.

The Dagestani SC upheld the decision of the Sovietskiy District Court of Makhachkala, the advocate said.
