Teenager from Dagestan was forced under torture to the "SVO", where he was allegedly killed

18-year-old Said Murtazaliev from Dagestan was forcibly recruited into the army and sent to the front in Ukraine. As his mother Leyla Nakhshunova told the publication "Ponyano.Media", the young man was detained in the Moscow region in early January on suspicion of fraud. At the police station, he was offered to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense. When he refused, they began to torture him - they put a gas mask on his head and squeezed his chest, causing him to lose consciousness.

After signing the contract, Said ended up in the assault company of the 272nd motorized rifle regiment of the 1st Guards Tank Army. In March, he reported that he had collected more than a million rubles to save his fellow soldiers from the assault. After that, according to him, commanders with the call signs "Altai" and "Kilo" gave the order to "zero" him. The next day, Said was declared missing.

According to the Dozhd TV channel, investigator Nadezhda Zabelkina was involved in the recruitment, and the order for the murder was presumably given by Senior Lieutenant Mikhail Prasolov ("Altai"). He, like more than a dozen officers, is suspected of extortion and reprisals, while remaining on duty.
