A Rough Night in Yekaterinburg: Unraveling the Truth Behind the 2001 Trader's Death Investigation
Detainees Accused of Homicide Perish in Prison, Ekaterinburg
Recent developments in an investigation stirring up the city of Yekaterinburg shed light on a cold case dating back to 2001. On June 27, a large-scale operation led by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) unraveled, targeting suspects linked to the killing of a local trader.
The FSB operation, reported by URA.RU, resulted in the tragic deaths of two brothers—Ziyeddin and Huseyn Safarov, who were part of the Safarov family, originally from Azerbaijan and residing in Yekaterinburg. Preliminary reports suggest their untimely demise was due to brutal torture during the raid. Medical assistance arrived on the scene, but it was too late to save them.
The investigation also brought the unfortunate injury of eight other family members, with some hospitalized in critical condition. But when it comes to the fate of the so-called "second suspect," details are scarce, though it's speculated that they also perished during the operation.
The operation was not limited to the Safarov family; it extended to various addresses in Yekaterinburg as part of broader investigations into city crimes. Reports from the Investigative Committee and the GU MVD of Sverdlovsk Oblast substantiate this claim.
Furthermore, earlier reports hinted at blogger Alexei Lesley being transported to Moscow for questioning, linked to alleged violent sexual acts. However, recent evidence suggests no clear connection between him and this case.
In essence, the 2001 trader's death investigation has led to a gruesome sequence of events, resulting in multiple casualties within the Safarov family. The Safarov brothers paid the ultimate price, while others struggle to recover. The Nature of the "second suspect's" death remains a mystery, and no substantial evidence links Alexei Lesley to the case at present.
