1998 Makhachkala riot
On 20 May 1998 a motorcade of Khachilayev brothers, returning from Chechnya, was stopped for a document check by police officers in the center of Makhachkala. Their attempt to disarm the Khachilayevs' guards led to a shootout, during which one of the police officers was killed. Nadir Khachilayev then barricaded himself at home, together with some of his supporters. On May 21, at a rally gathered by supporters of the Khachilayevs on the central square of Makhachkala near the building of the State Council, there was another shootout with police officers. The rally resulted in the storming of government building. Magomed Khachilayev and his supporters held it for 24 hours while negotiations were held. During the clashes, several police officers were killed, and four policemen were captured by Khachilayevs' supporters. The Prosecutor General's office accused Nadir and Magomed Khachilayev of the seizure of the State Council building, and after 11 September 1998, the State Duma deprived Nadir Khachilayev of parliamentary immunity. Magomed was arrested.[10][6][5]

Nadir Khachilayev was hiding in Chechnya and in the Wahhabi enclave in Karamakhi.[11] In October 1999, he was arrested by a special force unit.[6] However, Khachilaev's lawyers stated that he was detained in Moscow, where he arrived at the invitation of the FSB to negotiate his mediation in the release of General Gennady Shpigun, who was abducted in March 1999 and was held captive by Islamists.[8] In June 2000, Nadirshakh and Magomed Khachilayev were found guilty of organizing hostage-taking and illegal possession of weapons and sentenced by the Supreme Court of Dagestan to 18 months and 3 years in prison respectively and 41,000 rubles in a fine. However, both were released in the courtroom by the amnesty on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of the Victory.[6][10]
In January 2002, Khachilayev was detained in Makhachkala. The prosecutor's office considered him perpetrator of the January 18 bombing of a truck with Internal Troops servicemen, which killed seven people. Operatives seized weapons and ammunition found in Khachilayev's house, as well as video tapes of abuse of Russian Army servicemen. At the same time, the official representative of Dagestan FSB branch expressed bewilderment at the actions of the police officers, saying that they did not inform the FSB, which was conducting a criminal case.[12] On January 25, Khachilayev went on a hunger strike. On 11 March 2002, he was fully acquitted by the Sovetsky District Court of Makhachkala.[13]
