Two Russians have been placed on Interpol's wanted list at the request of Uzbekistan.

A manhunt has been launched for 36-year-old Bislan Rasaev and 31-year-old Shamil Temirkhanov. It is noted that Rasaev speaks Chechen. Furthermore, it is indicated that Bislan Rasaev faces charges of smuggling (Article 246 of the Criminal Code of Uzbekistan), illegal trafficking of firearms, ammunition, essential components of firearms, explosives, explosive devices, or materials (Article 248 of the Criminal Code of Uzbekistan), as well as failure to report a crime or concealing it (Article 241 of the Criminal Code of Uzbekistan).

Shamil Temirkhanov is accused of failing to report a crime or concealing it, along with illegal trafficking of firearms, ammunition, essential components of firearms, explosives, explosive devices, or materials.

Meanwhile, the publication "Vzglyad.uz," citing its own source, reports that Rasaev and Temirkhanov are suspected of involvement in the attempted assassination of the former head of the Information Policy Department of the Presidential Administration, Komil Allamzhanov.

The publication provides information that the fugitives are residents of Chechnya (which is part of the Russian Federation – editor's note ), and they arrived in Uzbekistan via different routes: one illegally crossed the border between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, while the other entered through the "Dostlik" checkpoint.

Additionally, "Vzglyad.uz," referencing investigative authorities, states that the individuals acted on the instructions of clients who offered them $1.5 million for the assassination of Allamzhanov and the head of the National Agency for Prospective Projects, Dmitry Li.

It is worth noting that the publication mentions another charge against Rasaev – illegal border crossing (Article 223 of the Criminal Code of Uzbekistan), which, however, does not appear in the Interpol information. The publication also adds that official authorities "have not yet commented on the situation."
