The man, who came from Anapa, had hung the head on the fence of a mosque in an Adygean village in 2025.

Prosecutors say Vladimir Kaishev ordered the murder of his business partner to gain control of a mineral water plant.

The body of the abducted man has not been found nine years later.

Eshsou Kakaliya was hospitalised after the incident, which other members of the opposition claimed was politically motivated.

The court found Rustam Nogmov guilty of murder committed with particular cruelty and of desecration of a corpse.

Investigators suspect that the murder was a hit ordered by former MP Magomed Gadzhiev.

The two were arrested in Kutaisi, western Georgia.
