The Prosecutor General's Office confirmed the search for two Russians in connection with the Allamzhanov case.

The General Prosecutor's Office has confirmed the international wanted notice for two Russians, Bislan Rasaev and Shamil Temirkhanov, due to their alleged involvement in the attempted assassination of Komil Allamzhanov, the former head of the information policy department of the presidential administration.
Генеральная прокуратура подтвердила, что разыскивает двух россиян в связи с делом Алламжанова.

According to law enforcement authorities, two individuals illegally entered the Republic of Uzbekistan and left its borders without reporting a crime while engaging in the illegal trafficking of firearms.

Rasaev and Temirkhanov have been charged in absentia as defendants under the relevant articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan. A preventive measure in the form of detention has been applied to these individuals, and they have been placed on a wanted list.

Information regarding the international search was released on December 20 of this year.

According to information on the Interpol website, they face charges under Articles 241 (Failure to report a crime or concealment of a crime), 246 (Smuggling), and 248 (Illegal trafficking of firearms, ammunition, essential components of firearms, explosives, explosive devices, or explosive mechanisms) of the Criminal Code of Uzbekistan. Some media outlets reported that the two men are Chechens.

Last month, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, denied reports from foreign media about a "Chechen trace" in the assassination attempt case in Uzbekistan.

It is worth noting that on the night of October 26, two individuals fired several shots at the Range Rover of Allamjanov on Ifor Street in the Kibray district.

As a result of the incident, no one was injured, and a criminal case was initiated under Article 97 in conjunction with Article 25 (Attempted intentional murder) and Article 248 (Illegal trafficking of firearms).

Uzbekistan also extradited Javlon Yunusov, who is also suspected of involvement in the assassination attempt.
