Kadyrov spoke out against Bastrykin, Kolokoltsev and migration policy

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that the heads of the TFR and the Russian Interior Ministry, Alexander Bastrykin and Vladimir Kolokoltsev, "are not sitting in their places."

Speaking about the investigation in Moscow of a criminal case of hooliganism, one of the accused of which is 13-year-old Chechen Muslim Murdiev, Kadyrov said that law enforcement agencies do not fulfill the tasks set by the president and "are boundless."

"The people who are sitting upstairs, the investigative bodies, headed by Bastrykin and Kolokoltsev, are not sitting in their places," the head of Chechnya believes.

According to the investigation, the teenager is guilty of gross violation of public order with the use of violence in a group of people by collusion. Kadyrov is sure that Murdiev is innocent. The head of Chechnya expressed confidence that Murdiyev would not be imprisoned and "nothing would be done with him," since he personally "talked to everyone."

Kadyrov also criticized the current migration policy of Russia. According to him, Bastrykin and Kolokoltsev are "sitting in armchairs" and do not know how things are in the regions. He did not give specific arguments.

"Kolokoltsev gave the command: now visitors are being beaten, taken away, our brothers, who we need, are being kicked out… Then they say that no one wants to be friends with us. Why did we lose Ukraine, Georgia? Why strained relations with other states? Because people don't know what's going on in the state," Kadyrov believes.
