Local structural/electronic properties around Mn in Cd1−xMnxTe1−ySey are determined.
Influence of different types of Mn–Te bonds on electronic structure is established.
Mn and Te excess charges are found to be distinctly different from their valences.
The spin-up states are spatially much more extended than the spin-down states.
Small magnetic dipole moment forms at the Mn–Te bond critical points.
