Military trial of civilian former mayor in North Caucasus

Ex-Mayor Said Amirov
The Military Court of the North Caucasus District has convicted Said Amirov, former mayor of Makhachkala (the capital of Dagestan), of complicity in the murder of a senior investigator of the Russian Federation Investigative Committee (a law enforcement agency) and an attempt to shoot down an airplane carrying another Dagestani official.

Why should Amirov, a civilian, have been tried in a military court?
