Ryska Fergana News har besökt Akilovs hemby, pratat med grannar och bekanta.
Akilov uppfattades inte som en extremist, mer som en måttlig muslim:
Citat:
Residents of Mr Akilov’s neighbourhood in Samarkand maintain that he was “distanced from politics and ideas of religious extremism.” No one saw him observing religious rites. Like the rest of the majority of Muslims in Uzbekistan, he would maintain only the so-called “household Islam,” and behaved like any other law-abiding person.
Barnen bor med Akilovs moster/faster, Akilovs hustru skickar hem pengar:
Citat:
Both Mr Akilov’s and his wife’s parents passed away several years ago. Therefore, the house shown in the photograph above is now occupied by Mr Akilov’s aunt and his three children: two sons aged 17 and 9, respectively, and a daughter, 12. The elder daughter is around 20-years-old. She has recently married and now lives with her husband.
According to the neighbours, the children live off what their mother remits from abroad. Sometimes distant relatives help them.
Hustrun heter Zukhra Istamova och ska nu vara i Turkiet. Akilov flyttade till Ryssland 2014, var därefter en sväng i Turkiet innan han dök upp i Sverige:
Citat:
According to those in Samarkand, Mr Akilov and his wife, Zukhra Istamova, left Samarkand for Russia in 2014. Ms Istamova returned in the summer of 2016, spent seven months there and left for Turkey in March of 2017. Meanwhile, Mr Akilov remained in Russia, then moved to Turkey and thereafter to Sweden.
Lokalbefolkningen känner inte till att Akilov skulle vara efterlyst:
Citat:
People here also question claims that a criminal investigation was launched against Mr Akilov in Uzbekistan and that he was announced internationally wanted for religious extremism.
“Nobody knows about this and has never heard of,” says Mr Akilov’s neighbour, who requested anonymity. “If things were in that state, we would know that here in the mahalla to say the least. Rumours travel fast here.”
Man ställer sig frågande till de uppgifter som Akilov lämnat till Migrationsverket:
Citat:
The residents of the neighbourhood also did not confirm the contents of a testimony Mr Akilov gave to the migration service of Sweden that he participate in some protest rally, which allegedly resulted in his arrest and then his family had to pay 10,000 USD to secure his release. The Akilovs family, according to neighbours, is not very rich.

Framkommer inte att Akilov var skild, vilket exempelvis har beskrivits här:
Citat:
Paret åkte ofta till Turkiet ihop. Men vännerna berättar att paret gick skilda vägar mellan 2010 och 2012.
Enligt en vän var det en bitter skilsmässa med hårda anklagelser från Akilovs sida. Han tog initiativ till separationen. Akilov ska ha påstått att hans hustru prostituerade sig i Turkiet – och hävdade att han sett det med egna ögon under en resa till landet.

Efter skilsmässan reste Rakhmat Akilov till Turkiet och det var där hans radikaliseringsprocess startade, berättar vännen för RFERL.
