Transfer to Moscow of missing athlete Tsomartova’s case gives hope to her parents

In Moscow, investigators re-examine all the circumstances of the case on the Anna Tsomartova’s disappearance. Earlier, the case was conducted by investigators in Dagestan, and new materials have appeared in the case now.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that on October 1, Nikolai Tsomartov, a father of Anna Tsomartova, a missing athlete from North Ossetia, considered his dismissal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) after the search for his daughter to be illegal and decided to challenge it in court.

On August 6, it became known that Alexander Bastrykin, the chair of the Investigating Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF), instructed his subordinates to transfer the case on the Anna Tsomartova’s disappearance to Moscow and took personal control of the investigation.

Diana Tsomartova, a mother of Anna Tsomartova, reported that the case on her daughter’s disappearance was transferred from Dagestan to the ICRF’s Chief Investigating Department. Diana Tsomartova recently visited Moscow, and an investigator questioned her for several hours.

The ICRF’s Chief Investigating Department intends to question everyone who is related to the Tsomartov family, was acquainted with Anna Tsomartova, or is familiar with the situation. Investigators have found violations in the case and intend to eliminate them in the nearest future, Diana Tsomartova emphasizes.

Let us remind you that the search for Anna Tsomartova has been ongoing since February 12. The athlete disappeared in Kaspiysk after she lost a tournament and was in a depressed state. Investigators have instituted a case on murder, and the version on kidnapping is also being considered.
