According to investigators, in 2018, the man raised at least 345,000 roubles and transferred it to an IS member for committing terror acts.

On October 29, a 49-year-old resident of Izberbash was detained, who was engaged in remaking civilian (traumatic) pistols into combat ones. In his house, law enforcers found an arms shop.

On October 30, the court ruled to arrest residents of the Leskensky District of Kabardino-Balkaria, who, according to the police, had set up an extremist community and used force against those who refused to share their views.
