Gochiyayev's mistress was released

Koroleva, who was in her 3rd month of pregnancy by Gochiyayev (his wife Madina Abaeva suffers from infertility - "Ъ" [Kommersant]), said that her partner had some business problems and he told her to leave Moscow for a while. "I knew that he used someone else's documents and suspected something was wrong, but he did not involve me in his affairs," she stated.

They decided to continue the interrogation the next day, and Koroleva was sent to a detention center. But already in the morning, a few hours after the explosion on Kashirka, she was released for some reason. Perhaps the operatives hoped that the pregnant woman would help them track down Gochiyayev, but a few days later she disappeared. Currently, Koroleva, who has been put on the wanted list, is, according to operational data, in one of the mountainous regions of Chechnya. The Gochiyayev spouses are also hiding there.
