A court in Makhachkala has seized the assets of former State Duma deputy Gadzhiev*.

The Prosecutor General's Office's claim to seize the real estate and other assets of former State Duma deputy Magomed Gadzhiev* has been upheld. The court also agreed to recognize Gadzhiev's* family as an extremist organization.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," in August, the Russian Prosecutor General's Office filed a lawsuit in the Sovietsky District Court of Makhachkala seeking to recognize former State Duma deputy Magomed Gadzhiev* and his family as an extremist organization. The office demanded that their real estate, worth more than 2 billion rubles, be forfeited to the state. Back in December 2024, a court in Makhachkala seized more than 140 accounts and 26 properties belonging to Gadzhiev* and his relatives.

Before being elected to the State Duma, Magomed Gadzhiev* held the posts of deputy head of the tax inspectorate in Dagestan and deputy head of the interregional inspectorate of the Ministry of Taxes. He first received his mandate as a State Duma deputy in 2003, and his last term expired in 2021. Gadzhiev* is on the international wanted list for the 2011 murder of Maksud Sadikov, rector of the Dagestan Institute of Theology. Investigators have charged the former deputy in absentia with organizing a contract killing. In May 2023, the Ministry of Justice added Gadzhiev* to the register of foreign agents, citing his support for the Ukrainian government and his willingness to cooperate with foreigners to obtain citizenship. Following this, Gadzhiev* was expelled from the United Russia party.

Today, the Sovietsky District Court of Makhachkala upheld the Prosecutor General's Office's claim against Magomed Gadzhiev* and his relatives, recognizing the former deputy's family as an extremist organization.

According to the Prosecutor General's Office and the court, Gadzhiev* and his relatives provided "material and other" support to the "Kyiv regime." In addition to Gadzhiev* himself, his son, sister, and partner are recognized as members of this "association." The activities of the "association" are prohibited in Russia, according to the United Press Service of the Courts of Dagestan.

By court order, assets totaling over 2 billion rubles were seized from them, including "a full package of shares in the authorized capital of an LLC under their control," cash in accounts, as well as 52 real estate properties with 18 land plots, commercial buildings, and premises, according to the organized crime group's official Telegram channel.

The motive for the seizure of Gadzhiev* and his relatives' property was not the origin of these assets, but "the elimination of sources of funding for activities that threaten the security and territorial integrity of the Russian Federation." It is noted that, at the prosecutor's request, the court "ordered immediate execution of the decision."

The former deputy owned commercial real estate, luxury housing, and land in Dagestan. Moscow and the Moscow region. His sister was the founder of the Sulaknerud company, which mined sand and gravel at the Chiryurt deposit in Dagestan.
