The deputy of the Derbent city assembly, Omarov, has been transferred to house arrest.

The Kayakent court has softened the measure of restraint for the deputy of the Derbent city assembly, Rovshan Omarov, transferring him from pre-trial detention to house arrest.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in February 2025, the deputy of the Derbent city assembly, Rovshan Omarov, one of the participants in the scandal surrounding the construction of a shopping center around the apartment of a local resident, was detained in a case concerning the organization of the illegal stay of four migrants.

The Derbent city administration filed lawsuits in defense of the rights of Aida Milaydi, around whose apartment local deputy Rovshan Omarov built a shopping center, but the courts sided with the developer. In a report about Milaydi's apartment, aired on a federal TV channel, only Milaydi's position was presented, and the loud headline about the "bricked-up apartment" is inaccurate, noted Dagestani journalists interviewed by "Caucasian Knot". The court in Derbent did not satisfy the claim of Aida Milaydi and the city administration against the developer – Omarov – demanding to recognize the redevelopment of the premises in the building as illegal, but satisfied the counterclaim of the developer against Milaydi. The court recognized Milaydi's share of 15 square meters of the apartment as insignificant, ordered compensation of 4.2 million rubles to be paid to her, and terminated her ownership rights to the apartment. Milaydi appealed this decision. In April 2024, the cassation instance returned the case for reconsideration.

Today, the head of the Public Monitoring Commission of Dagestan, Shamil Khadulaev, reported on the softening of the measure of restraint for the deputy of the Derbent city assembly, Rovshan Omarov, in his Telegram channel.

According to Khadulaev, colleagues-deputies, participants in combat actions, and other friends and relatives came to support Rovshan in court. Written petitions for surety and character references were presented in his defense.

Khadulaev believes that a key role was played by the fact that Rovshan Omarov has four minor children dependent on him. He also believes that issues in the case should be resolved in a working manner, rather than through punitive methods. "Especially since the situation with the Chinese worker, to whom Omarov allegedly owes money and because of which he was arrested, looks, to put it mildly, absurd," wrote the head of the Public Monitoring Commission of Dagestan.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that in mid-August, a court in Dagestan arrested former mayor of Kizlyar, Alexander Shuvalov, suspected of exceeding official authority.
