Accused of terrorism and murder, MMA fighter sentenced to 28 years

After two and a half years, MMA fighter and terrorist Lamberd Akhyadov heard his harsh sentence.

As reported by TUT.AZ with reference to Ren TV, the athlete was found guilty on four charges at once, including the brutal murder of an employee of the Moscow Administrative Road Inspection. On the eve of 2023, he violently attacked a MADI inspector with a knife, after which he lunged at a police officer who managed to neutralize the attacker. During the investigation, the fighter tried to simulate a mental disorder, referring to voices in his head. However, investigators revealed the true picture — who actually directed the criminal's actions and what reward he received for following instructions. Details from the courtroom in the report by REN TV correspondent Alexander Menyailov.

Like a cornered predator, Lamberd Akhyadov nervously moves from side to side in the glass box. The MMA fighter is charged with attempting to commit a terrorist act in the very center of the capital. It's difficult to guess Akhyadov's thoughts under the watchful eye of video cameras. Now he is not in the ring, but in the courtroom, where his sentence is about to be announced.

Two years ago, on the eve of 2023, Lamberd Akhyadov attacked road inspector Svyatoslav Serov. The moment of the attack was recorded by the inspector's body camera.
