Ташкент объявил в розыск двоих россиян по делу о покушении на заместителя главы администрации президента.

The assassination attempt on Allamjonov occurred in October, a day before the parliamentary elections in the country and roughly a month after his resignation from the administration. Allamjonov, an associate of Saida Mirziyoyeva, the eldest daughter of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, was unharmed. Authorities in Uzbekistan reported at that time the detention of several individuals.

According to the Uzbek publication "Vzglyad," the suspects, who are ethnic Chechens, were offered money to target another high-ranking official, Dmitry Li, the head of the National Agency for Prospective Projects.

Investigators claim that the Russians agreed to participate in the assassination for 1.5 million US dollars. Both entered Uzbekistan via the Kyrgyz border, with one of them allegedly crossing illegally, as noted in the "Vzglyad" article.

The Uzbek edition of Azattyq previously reported that the head of Uzbekistan's State Security Service, Abdusalom Azizov, was dismissed due to obstructing the investigation into the assassination attempt on Allamjonov, along with several other high-ranking officials.

A native of Uzbekistan has already been detained in connection with this case, who in 2021 was suspected by Turkish authorities of being involved in planning armed attacks on opposition Chechen activists. At that time, Rasayev was also detained. Chechnya's leader Ramzan Kadyrov stated in November that neither he nor the natives of the republic were involved in the crime committed in Tashkent.

No official charges of attempted murder have been filed against the Russians. Interpol records indicate that 31-year-old Temirkhanov is suspected of illegal arms and ammunition trafficking, as well as failure to report a crime or concealing it; 36-year-old Rasayev faces similar suspicions along with charges of smuggling.
