A Moscow court has ordered detention for Tarkhan Eldukaev, the suspect accused of kidnapping and the attempted murder of singer Abraham Russo in 2006. The detention order was issued by the Moscow Basmanny Court and reported by TASS as extending the allowed detention period until December 25.
According to the court ruling, Eldukaev is charged under Article 126 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for kidnapping and under part 3 of Article 30 together with Article 105 for the attempted murder of the artist. The preventive measure chosen is detention, reflecting the gravity of the alleged offenses and the ongoing investigation.
The 2006 assassination attempt in Moscow targeted the well-known pop performer Abraham Russo. He was struck by gunfire from a Kalashnikov rifle, suffering injuries to his thigh and lower leg, while a security guard protecting the singer was killed at the scene. Investigators indicate that the order for the attack came from Telman Ismailov, the former owner of the Cherkizovsky market, adding a high-profile layer to a case that drew national attention.
In a related development, the Moscow Khamovniki District Court announced last December that those implicated in the attempted shooting of the singer had received prison sentences. The court handed Dzhura a nine-year term and Tryasnikov a twelve-year term, with both men serving their sentences in a maximum-security penal colony.
Earlier coverage also noted public criticism surrounding other unrelated matters linked to the same period, including disputes over merchandise featuring public figures. These reports contributed to the broader narrative surrounding the case and its ongoing legal consequences.
