On 11 August 2020 the Main Investigative Directorate for the North Caucasus Federal District sent a reply in which it reported that the materials of the investigative check into the death of Madina Umayeva had been examined, following which a recommendation was made to the Chechen Investigative Committee to overturn its decision not to open a criminal case, which was issued on 21 July 2020.
A recommendation was also made to carry out specific pre-investigatory actions. However, the letter stated that there were no grounds to believe that the personnel of the regional department of the Investigative Committee in Chechnya were “personally invested, directly or indirectly, in the results of the pre-investigative check.”
Therefore, the request to transfer the investigation to the Main Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the North Caucasus federal district was rejected.
