What does Dzhabrailov own? Umar Dzhabrailov, white powder and gunfire at Moscow's Four Seasons. "Avanti" - time for change

The name of the Chechen businessman and politician Umar Dzhabrailov is widely known in Russia and Chechnya. The statesman, businessman and philanthropist is accustomed to being the center of attention. A connoisseur of art and female beauty, he is a regular hero of tabloid publications and a regular at social events. Umar Alievich founded and leads the Association of Entrepreneurs for the Development of Business Patriotism “Avanti”.

Childhood and youth

Dzhabrailov was born and raised in Grozny. He was raised in an intelligent family, where his father, Alvi Dzhabrailov, who had previously been deported to Kazakhstan, returned to his homeland and settled in the capital of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Alvi is a former secretary of the Komsomol district committee, worked in the oil industry. In his free time he wrote poetry. Umar's mother, Rumi Sarakaeva, raised the children and maintained the home.

In 1973, Umar Dzhabrailov received a matriculation certificate in Grozny and went to the Russian capital, where he became a student at a fur technical school. In the late 1970s, Dzhabrailov served in the missile forces in the Ukrainian Korosten. During his service, he joined the ranks of the CPSU, where he remained until the end of the 1980s.

After demobilization, the Chechen went to enter MGIMO, but did not get a point. Umar remained in the preparatory courses and the following year became a student at a prestigious university. He chose the Faculty of Economics, from which he graduated in 1985, receiving a diploma with honors. For two years, the young specialist worked as a laboratory assistant at the institute department.

Business and art

In the early 1990s, after a year of working as an art inspector at the Moscow cooperative gallery, Umar Dzhabrailov founded and headed the Danako trading company, which supplied refined oil products to enterprises. In the mid-1990s, the Chechen businessman met his American colleague Paul Tatum, who founded the joint venture Intourist-RedAmer Hotel and Business Center. Dzhabrailov filled the position of general director of the joint venture.

Two years later, a scandal broke out between the Chechen and the American: Tatum accused his business partner of organizing the assassination attempt. That same year, in November, a US citizen and his guards were shot in an underground passage. Umar Dzhabrailov was banned from entering the United States, but they could not prove his involvement in the murder.

In 1997, the businessman headed the Plaza group of companies and became an adviser to the acting general director of the Radisson-Slavyanskaya hotel complex. The Plaza Group provides real estate management services. The Millennium company, part of the Plaza, is involved in show business. Thanks to Millennium, the nightclub “VI:RUS” appeared in the capital. One of Plaza's subsidiaries owns 20% of billboards and other advertising surfaces in Moscow.

Umar Dzhabrailov entered the banking sector in the early 2000s, receiving membership in the board of directors of Russian Capital. In the spring of 2001, the businessman headed the board of directors of the First OVK bank. In 2004, Umar Dzhabrailov retired from business and took the place of senator from the Chechen Republic.

In the fall of 2009, Umar Alievich left his senatorial post and became an adviser to Sergei Prikhodko, assistant to the head of the Russian state. Dzhabrailov is a member of United Russia and an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Arts. The latter is thanks to patronage. Umar Alievich is a famous collector. He is called the most consistent collector of contemporary Russian art.

Umar Dzhabrailov initiated the preservation of monuments considered the heritage of the USSR, and proposed transporting them from neighboring Ukraine, where decommunization was announced, to the Russian Federation. Dzhabrailov knows and maintains friendly relations with famous artists and designers from Russia and Italy.

Personal life

The millionaire does not hide the fact that he loves women. It seems that they are not indifferent to him, because Umar Dzhabrailov more than once or twice surprised the public by appearing in the company of elite beauties with a big name. The appearance of the Chechen oligarch cannot be called stellar: Umar Dzhabrailov is short, thin, with an aquiline profile, and gray hair. This is partly why the appearance of another beauty next to a businessman is always an event in the world of show business.

And since Dzhabrailov is always in sight and does not miss celebrity parties, he is thoroughly listed on the front pages of glossy tabloids and yellow publications. Joint photos with Umar appear on the Instagram pages of Russian show business stars.

Umar Dzhabrailov was seen in the company of and. A glamorous super-fashion model and a fast-talking erudite appeared next to him. Going out in public with an ex-participant in the fourth season of “Star Factory,” who had previously been seen in a romantic relationship with a rapper, also caused a stir.

Dzhabrailov encountered Alexa on the show “Star in a Cube” and a romance broke out between the experienced womanizer and the young beauty with plump lips. The couple did not separate for six months and delighted the paparazzi with their appearances at social events. The age difference - Umar Dzhabrailov turned 50, Alexa celebrated her 20th birthday - did not bother the lovers. But a few months later, the oligarch went out alone, and the “manufacturer” disappeared from view until 2009, when the qualifying round for performers from Russia to Eurovision was announced.

But the heartthrob Dzhabrailov has two women whom he will never leave - these are the daughters Danata and Alvina, born in Umar’s second marriage. The girls and their mother live in a luxurious house in Monte Carlo. Umar Dzhabrailov is twice divorced, but, according to Wikipedia, he has a wife, a Russian artist. The businessman does not mention her name.

Dzhabrailov is rich and smart, speaks German, English and Italian, understands four more - Spanish, French, Hungarian and Czech. He has a brother, Hussein, who participated in the presidential elections in Chechnya in 2003, but withdrew his candidacy. Khusein Dzhabrailov is the special representative of the Chechen leader in Moscow.

Umar Dzhabrailov now

At the end of the summer of 2017, the businessman attracted attention to his person not by going out with a new passion, but by an unpleasant incident. The scandal occurred in the capital's elite Four Seasons hotel, which is located in the center of Moscow on Okhotny Ryad Street. Umar Dzhabrailov chose the hotel because of its advantageous location, although the prices here are sky-high (from 100 thousand rubles to half a million per day).

Dzhabrailov from an award weapon (Yarygin pistol) in a hotel room: the Chechen shot at the ceiling. The holes were discovered by police who arrived on call. Dzhabrailov was alone in the room on the 6th floor; he released the guards before the incident. Rumor has it that during an inspection of the businessman’s room they found an unknown white powder, pills and bottles of alcohol. Dzhabrailov was charged under Article 213 of the Criminal Code (hooliganism) and released on his own recognizance.

Coming out of the police station, the former member of the Federation Council from Chechnya explained what happened. He said that he was checking the award weapon and fired due to an oversight, not knowing how to use a pistol. Umar Dzhabrailov called the upward shots an unfortunate accident.

Detractors talk about the state of drug intoxication in which the millionaire allegedly was at the time of the shooting, but there is no evidence of this, and Dzhabrailov’s press secretary calls rumors about drugs a “canard” started by the media.

Condition assessment

At the end of 1999, Umar Dzhabrailov announced his intention to run for the post of Russian president. The information about the candidate’s income released by the Central Election Commission stated that over the previous two years the entrepreneur received an income of 8 million 658 thousand rubles. The businessman owns an apartment in the capital (479.5 square meters) and a BMW car.

Umar Dzhabrailov is a co-founder of 20 commercial structures. A Chechen entrepreneur, together with an Italian couturier, owns the Just Cavalli restaurant, an architectural monument.

Umar Alievich was born on June 28, 1958 in Grozny. His father in his youth was the secretary of the district committee of the Komsomol, however, thanks to the tortuous history of all Chechens in the Soviet Union, he did not advance far in party work. Umar was a smart guy, studied well, was fond of mathematics and easily completed his eighth year. Then his family made a seemingly strange decision - Umar went to Moscow, where he entered in 1973. at the Fur College. As funny as it may seem, it was easier for Umar to get a secondary technical education in Moscow than in Checheno-Ingushetia. Firstly, there was less competition, and secondly, at that time Chechens were almost unknown in Moscow and therefore they were treated more indifferently. At the same time, anyone more or less familiar with the personnel policy of that time understands perfectly well that such a trip to Moscow could not have been made without the sanction of the right person. To become a full-fledged national cadre, it was necessary to serve in the army. Dzhabrailov ended up in 1977. into the elite troops of the Strategic Missile Forces and served quite quietly until 1979. in Zhitomir. Education and love for the exact sciences helped Umar get into these troops. In the army he joined the CPSU. Then it was the easiest way to merge with the leadership and direction. Dzhabrailov served brilliantly. And here the fate of our hero takes a sharp zigzag. Umar Dzhabrailov enters MGIMO University of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs to study the most prestigious specialty “International Economic Relations”. Umar Dzhabrailov earned his first big money in a trivial way. He earned them from “Chechen advice notes.” For those who have forgotten, let me remind you that in the early 90s, the Soviet banking system, unadapted to new conditions, began to fail. Non-cash money began to travel from one bank to another for weeks and even months. And this is within Moscow, and transferring money from one city to another has generally become a chore. And then, in order for the economy not to die completely, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation decided that money can be credited to the accounts of companies by the receiving bank upon presentation of a bank order - an advice note, drawn up and signed in accordance with the necessary requirements by the sending bank. In Chechnya, they didn’t think twice and stole some of these advice forms, and forged the signatures and seals. And thus, for several months, taking advantage of the confusion, they received purely specific money on non-existent orders. This scam was called “Chechen advice notes.” It must be said that even then it was said that the advice notes were in fact not Chechen at all, but Moscow. Since the state banks from which cash was withdrawn were precisely Moscow ones. However, this business, so to speak, was quickly brought under the control of the Chechens, in particular, Umar Dzhabrailov. Nevertheless, Umar Alievich had a lot of money. And he wanted to make them even more. Former patron Philip Bobkov, who is actively developing the vein of Vladimir Gusinsky and is now tied to too close relations with one of the highest ranks of the Israeli military intelligence "Aman" Yakov Nimrodi (who could not stand any Chechens), got off with smiles and meaningless hints. He had no time for Umar. And then Umar Dzhabrailov came to the only Moscow Chechen who was not barred from entering the top of the Moscow Government. Makhmud Esambaev has been a legend of Soviet art since the 60s of the last century. Makhmud Esambaev acted as a born PR man. He was talented not only in dancing. Understanding full well that his life was short and he would have very little to guide his young student through the life, Esambaev ordered Umar to be public. Every single day he must prove to everyone around him that he strives for the light, participates in all social events, in charity, patronizes the arts, and cares for pretty women. And in general, a helipad and a dandy. Only such an image could help the then inexperienced Dzhabrailov become part of the Moscow crowd. However, Esambaev was an artist, and therefore instilled in his student an overly theatrical style. Hence Dzhabrailov’s love for short jackets and skinny trousers. What looks already comical on a man over 40. Dzhabrailov was the official lover of the daughter of the former mayor of St. Petersburg, or, to be more precise, just one of them, Ksenia Sobchak.
Of course, the ladies' man immediately showered her with a bunch of jewelry: all sorts of necklaces and necklaces made of black pearls and God knows what else. When the aspiring socialite Ksyusha was robbed, the theft cost either 200 or 600 thousand dollars in jewelry alone. But such reprimands do not bother the daughter of the current senator from Tuva Lyudmila Narusova; in addition to Dzhabrailov, there is also the failed publisher of the Russian “Penthouse” Alexander Shusterovich and St. Petersburg oil tanker Vladimir Leibman. Well, I laugh at everything about this, but what is it like for Dzhabrailov himself? A man who is not only not poor, but also oriental? But in the East, the attitude towards women is still not so relaxed. Truly he became a slave to his mask. But somewhere far away, still in Monaco, live two beloved daughters: Alvina and Donata, and it is there that not the happiest father goes every year to celebrate his birthday or some simpler holiday in their company. I deliberately do not write about the ex-wife of the current bachelor; this is a topic for a separate story. In the meantime, Umar walks around Moscow as an eligible bachelor for all sorts of semi-secular things.

Umar Dzhabrailov

Dossier: According to media reports, Dzhabrailov successfully graduated from MGIMO thanks to the fact that KGB General Philip Bobkov, who was called the “godfather of Moscow business,” drew attention to him. It was reported that the help of the head of the Fifth Main Directorate of the KGB of the USSR, the Directorate for Combating Ideological Sabotage, Philip Bobkov (who soon became the first deputy chairman of the KGB, and under Yeltsin headed the Security Service of Most-Bank and the association of former GB employees) allowed Umar to overcome difficulties with admission to the most prestigious university in the country (for example, a reference document certified by the same KGB was required), and successfully graduate from the institute. Umar Dzhabrailov received a residence permit in Moscow. They wrote that Bobkov’s Chechen protégé first carried out routine tasks to penetrate the “Moscow Chechen community.” But when, in the late 80s, the KGB leadership began to implement a program to seize the most important economic levers of the future “free” Russia, Dzhabrailov was among those people who were then prepared to take the places of the new Russian oligarchs. But Dzhabrailov failed to become an oligarch in the full sense of the word, for example, like Vladimir Potanin. The media attribute this to the fact that he did not have enough patience and decided to do it himself.

Umar Alievich Dzhabrailov

The media wrote that Dzhabrailov earned his initial capital from so-called Chechen advice notes, receiving money from the Central Bank using non-existent bank orders. Such scams were common in the early 90s, when a telegram with a password was enough to transfer funds. Due to the inability of the Soviet banking system to new conditions, non-cash money traveled within Moscow from one bank to another for weeks and even months. And one could wait even longer for a transfer from one city to another. In 1991-92 there were several banking crises, as a result of which money could not pass from bank to bank for three months. In order to prevent the economy from dying completely, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation made a decision: money can be credited to the accounts of companies by the receiving bank upon presentation of a bank order - an advice note, issued and signed in accordance with the necessary requirements by the sending bank. It was assumed that the money would be debited from the sending bank when issuing an advice note. In Chechnya, some of the advice forms were stolen, and the signatures and seals were forged. Taking advantage of the confusion, for several months it was possible to receive money from non-existent orders. This scam was called “Chechen advice notes.” The press expressed the opinion that in fact they should have been called not Chechen, but Moscow, since cash was withdrawn from Moscow state banks.

But the “business” was quickly brought under control by the Chechens, in particular, Umar Dzhabrailov. Apparently that is why the advice notes were called Chechen. In an interview, Dzhabrailov denied his participation in that story. In 1997, he told a correspondent of Argumenty i Fakty that the advice notes were created not by Chechens, but by those at the top of the banking system. He, they say, did not receive a penny from these advice notes, but on the contrary, he suffered: for the oil products sold, his company received bills with non-existent money. And the company went bankrupt. Dzhabrailov claimed that he earned money for the start-up capital legally: he took out loans from banks, because loans in the early 90s were profitable: there was a landslide fall in the ruble and an increase in the value of the dollar. So Umar, in his words, made money on the exchange rate difference. The media reported that it was because of the “Chechen advice notes” that Dzhabrailov had his first disagreement with his new friend, corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Boris Berezovsky. They wrote that, according to eyewitnesses, the oligarch yelled at Dzhabrailov: “We gave you, the Chechens, a milk cow, and you slaughtered it!” The media interpreted the statement in the sense that, according to Berezovsky, the operation was carried out too crudely, drew too much attention to itself and did not bring much greater profits. Therefore, as reported, the new friends separated for a long time.

Umar Dzhabrailov first became widely known in Russia after in 1996, the co-owner of the joint venture (JV) "Intourist RadAmer - Hotel and Business Center" (created to manage the Radisson-Slavyanskaya Hotel), American Paul Tatum, publicly suspected the Chechen businessman who held the post of general director SP, with the intention of killing him. This happened against the backdrop of a serious conflict between them. The American believed that, according to the charter documents of the joint venture, the position of general director should have been occupied by a representative of the American side. Tatum stated that Dzhabrailov threatened him in order to remove him from among the founders of the joint venture. However, as reported, the American saw the real threat in the face of the Moscow authorities, who wanted to “throw out” the unwanted foreigner from the joint venture. Dzhabrailov denied everything. But, according to the press, the Moscow authorities (and especially the Moscow Property Committee (MKI)) really had a reason to dislike the American: according to information from Moscow officials, because of Tatum, the Intourist RadAmer joint venture owed the city authorities $80 for hotel rent and shared profits million. On November 3, 1996, an unknown person called Paul Tatum and arranged a meeting. The American, together with his bodyguard, went down to the Kievskaya metro station, where he was killed by machine gun shots. The killer was hiding behind one of the columns. Dzhabrailov was suspected of involvement in the crime for a long time. Shortly before the murder, Paul Tatum's people posted leaflets in Slavyanskaya accusing Umar Dzhabrailov of having connections with the mafia. Dzhabrailov was interrogated several times in connection with the murder of Paul Tatum, but he was not charged. For Umar, the scandal ended with him being banned. entry into the United States. Otherwise, the investigation into Tatum’s murder did not affect him in any way: together with his brother Husain, he continued to be involved in the hotel business in Moscow, real estate and oil, while being an almost constant character in the capital’s gossip column.

After the story of the murder of Paul Tatum, European law enforcement agencies began to treat Dzhabroilov with distrust. There is information in the press that he was detained in Monaco, where his ex-wife and daughters live. The detention took place on the yacht of a famous thief in law nicknamed Petrik, in whose company Dzhabrailov spent time. Umar was detained until his identity was clarified and sent to prison for three days. According to media reports, investigators suspected that Dzhabrailov and Petrik discussed what to do with the then-alive Tatum. But Dzhabrailov denied the investigation’s assumptions, saying that he had heard a lot about Petrik, but had never met him in person. He stated that he only knew his wife Bella well. There is information in the press that there was hardly anything serious behind the relationship between Dzhabrailov and Petrik. The “Mazutkinskaya” organized crime group, which was headed by Petrik, was controlled by the late Otari Kvantarishvili and Vyacheslav Ivankov (Yaponchik), and they, according to the authors of the messages, did not really like the Chechens.

The media write that Interpol’s persistent interest in Umar Dzhabrailov is quite understandable. Indeed, in addition to Petrik, his name was associated with representatives of the Chechen criminal group, such as Lechi Islamov (Lechi Boroda, one of the leaders of the Chechen organized crime group in Moscow), Malik Saidulaev. But doubts are also expressed in the press about the strength of these connections: it is unlikely that Umar needed the same Beard to resolve his affairs. He himself could have done no worse. It was reported that Dzhabrailov also had business connections with Ricardo Fancini, who was wanted by Interpol for a whole bunch of criminal offenses.

There are media reports that Dzhabrailov, including with money earned from business, supplied weapons to Chechen militants. There is such information about a possible relationship between Dzhabrailov and Chechen militants. In 1994-96, according to Moscow law enforcement officials, all Chechen entrepreneurs were taxed by the authorities of what was then Ichkeria. There is an assumption that Dzhabrailov also paid. This conclusion is made on the basis that he remained alive. There were rumors that two brothers of Vakha Arsanov, the then vice-president of Chechnya, worked in one of the banks, whose office was located on the territory subordinate to Dzhabrailov’s structures. There is an opinion that the struggle for the independence of Chechnya worried Umar to the extent that it was not part of his commercial plans. But what could worry him is the bad relationship with a loyal supporter of the federal government, the former mayor of Grozny Beslan Gantamirov. He considered Dzhabrailov a “huckster” and they did not like each other. After Gantamirov was sent to prison (either for embezzlement, or to simply disappear from the arena for a while), Dzhabrailov took several conciliatory steps towards his opponent. When Beslan was released from prison, Umar even spoke at some meetings of Moscow Chechens as Beslan's personal envoy. Then their paths diverged: Beslan went to lead in Chechnya, and Umar remained in Moscow. Since then, as reported in the media, Umar Dzhabrailov has demonstrated complete disinterest in what was happening in his homeland. There is information in the media that a criminal case was opened regarding the supply of weapons by “Dzhabrailov and company” to warring Chechnya. But it was stopped.

According to media reports, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Dzhabrailov actively participated in social life, he was called “a Moscow dandy and heartthrob.” One of his friends was Ksenia Sobchak. The press relished the story of the theft of jewelry donated by Dzhabrailov from a TV presenter. They wrote that the stolen necklaces, black pearl necklaces and the like cost either 200 or 600 thousand dollars. It was also reported that Dzhabrailov did not escape the hobby of using cocaine, which is characteristic of the bohemian environment.

In 2000, Dzhabrailov participated in the presidential elections of the Russian Federation. During the election campaign, a scandal broke out. In February, employees of the UBEP of the Northern District of Moscow discovered a company on the territory of the Moscow Agricultural Academy that was engaged in forging signatures in favor of presidential candidates Umar Dzhabrailov, Konstantin Titov, Evgeny Savostyanov and Ismail Tagizade. It turned out that the students who worked for the company personally put down about 300 thousand signatures “for Dzhabrailov”, receiving about 700 thousand rubles. The capital's prosecutor's office opened a criminal case on this fact under the article "Falsification of election documents." Assistant Vice-Rector of the Academy Igor Konyshev and acting director of the Bureau of Employment and Social Information Igor Nadezhkin were suspected of organizing the crime. According to investigators, Konyshev received an offer to “collect” signatures in favor of Dzhabrailov. As an assistant, he hired a 5th year student, Nadezhkin, who hired students. In August 2000, the case was closed: the law allowed criminal prosecution only of members of election commissions or initiative groups of candidates. The investigation was unable to prove the involvement of falsifiers in the candidates' headquarters. Dzhabrailov's campaign headquarters told reporters that they had nothing to do with the exposed company. Umar Dzhabrailov took the last, eleventh place in the elections with 0.08 percent of the votes. There are suggestions in the press that he participated in the election race for the sake of self-promotion.

In 2000, as they wrote in the press, Umar’s brother, first deputy general director of the Rossiya Hotel, Khusein Dzhabrailov, came to the attention of the police. It was reported that in one of the hotel rooms, GUBOP employees found an entire arsenal: a sniper rifle with a silencer and two magazines, an AKS-74U assault rifle, four TT pistols, two PM guns, a homemade submachine gun, a device for firing small-caliber cartridges, 17 magazines for machine guns and pistols, two optical sights and more than 300 rounds of various calibers. Valentin Stepanov, Khussein Dzhabrailov’s senior assistant, called the weapon “his” and put forward the version that he found a bag with a weapon at the door of the room and, thinking that the owner had forgotten it, brought it inside. This version looked unconvincing, but the rest of the work on the “Chechen trace” led nowhere.

There is information in the media about the relationship between Umar Dzhabrailov and the assassination attempts on the former Deputy Prime Minister of the Moscow government, Joseph Ordzhonikidze. Ordzhonikidze oversaw the foreign economic activities of the Moscow Government, and, first of all, hotels. Initially, Ordzhonikidze and Dzhabrailov, as the press wrote, were best friends. Dzhabrailov made money from his relationship with Ordzhonikidze: according to the standard Moscow scheme, city property was placed in trust for Dzhabrailov's management company - the Plaza group. Everyone made money and were happy. Dzhabrailov's problems began when the time came for the privatization of Moscow hotels. Umar wanted to get his “share” - his companies tried to participate in the privatization of the Belgrade Hotel. And then, as reported in the media, Ordzhonikidze considered Dzhabrailov superfluous. According to Umar’s own words, their relationship ended in early 2000. After which the first attempt on the life of Joseph Ordzhonikidze occurred.

On February 19, 2000, two killers armed with machine guns shot up a Nissan Maxima car in Leontyevsky Lane, 500 meters from the Moscow City Hall. The driver, Ivan Petrin, died on the spot, and Joseph Ordzhonikidze himself was seriously injured. According to media reports, the assassination attempt was explained by Ordzhonikidze’s economic problems associated with the Moscow-City complex. The identity of the killer could not be established. The name of Dzhabrailov was mentioned in versions, but only at the level of rumors.

And yet, in order to maintain good relations with the Moscow government, Dzhabrailov had to withdraw from two capital projects: give up management of the Okhotny Ryad shopping complex and the Kuntsevo elite residential complex.

As the media wrote, Ordzhonikidze began to put a spoke in the wheels of Dzhabrailov’s business empire, cutting off Plaza from the management of Moscow real estate and turning Yuri Luzhkov against Umar.

On June 20, 2002, under the railway bridge, the armored Volvo of Ordzhonikidze, who was driving to work from his country house in Barvikha, was cut off by a BMW 525 with a flashing light and blue police (as it later turned out to be fake) license plates. When the foreign cars stopped, three men in black mask caps with slits for eyes jumped out of the BMW and opened heavy fire. Each one fired with two hands: from five PMs and a Stechkin submachine gun. The deputy mayor and the driver were not injured because they were in an armored car. Security guard Andrei Golikov, who returned fire, was wounded, but managed to hit one of the attackers. Soon, law enforcement officers found the killers' car on fire, and near it - a corpse, with documents in the name of Salavat Dzhabrailov, Umar Dzhabrailov's cousin.

The media reported that immediately after the second assassination attempt, Deputy Prime Minister Ordzhonikidze said that it was the head of the Plaza group who was behind the assassination attempt. Dzhabrailov, in turn, announced that he was not the mastermind of this crime (although no one officially accused him of this). He called what happened on Rublevskoye Highway a provocation with the aim of ousting him from the hotel business. Dzhabrailov claimed that what happened was a staged act and he himself accused Ordzhonikidze of murdering his cousin Salavat. Umar expressed the opinion that Salavat was killed by Ordzhonikidze’s people, and then thrown to the scene of the staged assassination attempt. Dzhabrailov's lawyers asked to initiate a criminal case on this fact, but they were refused.

Meanwhile, as the press wrote, the investigation was working on the version of Umar Dzhabrailov’s involvement in the crime. Against this backdrop, the entrepreneur hastily left Moscow and flew to Italy. Before the flight, he called a Kommersant correspondent and made it clear that he feared not only for his life, but also for the safety of his relatives, and was also afraid of arrest. But a couple of days later, at a press conference, he “edited” his “leak” to the journalist, saying that he had been misunderstood, he was not hiding anywhere, and had left for Italy on a long-planned business trip.

After the second attempt on Ordzhonikidze’s life, the mayor of Moscow promised that the city government would terminate all contracts with companies controlled by the businessman. And already at the end of June, Slavyanskaya Hotel and Business Center LLC, a company owned by the Moscow government and AFK Sistema and owning the Radisson-Slavyanskaya hotel complex, sent a letter to Plaza Group to terminate the contract for hotel management. Umar Dzhabrailov is losing one of his most profitable businesses. Journalists called this fact a signal for the beginning of a redistribution of spheres of influence in the capital's hotel business.

In the fall of 2002, Umar Dzhabrailov's company Plaza Gruppa was removed from the management of the Sokolniki hotel under construction. Apparently, the press wrote, the capital’s authorities decided to keep their word to oust Dzhabrailov from the hotel business.

Despite statements by the Moscow prosecutor that the assassination attempt on Ordzhonikidze has been “practically solved”, and reports of the capture of the perpetrators of the crime (allegedly from a group of Chechen killers), the names of those who ordered both this and other contract killings in which Dzhabrailov appeared, never became known.

Report of FBI agents on the conflict between Umar Dzhabrailov and Paul Tatum

Basic facts of financial fraud

The FBI obtained the following information from its sources: Americom Business Centers, Incorporated was registered in the state of Florida with an authorized share capital of $25,000 ($0.01 per share).

Americom's corporate headquarters were located in Irvine, California. The corporation's accounts were opened with First Interstate Bank (Suite 150, 650 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa, California 92626, American Bankers Association number: 122000218, account number: 360301159). In addition, AMERICOM opened two accounts (one with AVO BANK and the other with Dialogue Bank in Moscow). Americom Business Centers in Moscow also had an offshore account with Barclays Bank International on the island of Jersey (Library Place, St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands) for payroll.

A former senator and representative of Russia in PACE, who was detained yesterday for shooting in a hotel room, spent less than a day in the Kitay-Gorod police station. After interrogation, the suspect of hooliganism (Part 1 of Article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, provides for punishment of up to five years in prison) was released on his own recognizance. During these 24 hours, Dzhabrailov’s own version of what happened became clearer, the origin of the ill-fated pistol became known, and other murky stories were recalled in which the Vainakh businessman and legislator was involved. His ill-wishers, whom he has made quite a lot of in recent years, are meanwhile making full use of what happened to discredit both the senator himself and his patrons from Ramzan Kadyrov to Dmitry Peskov.

News agencies report the inadequate condition in which the ex-senator was at the time of his arrest. According to TASS, police found Umar Dzhabrailov in a state of either drug or alcohol intoxication. Umar Dzhabrailov has already passed the relevant examination, but the result will become known only in a few days. A source in the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the 59-year-old guest entering the elevator with a pistol drawn was seen by security guards, who immediately called the police. When law enforcement officers quickly arrived and knocked on the former senator’s room, Dzhabrailov himself opened the door with Yarygin’s pistol in his hand, and he declared: “I won’t give up without a fight.” Law enforcement officers saw a bullet hole in the ceiling of the room and detained Dzhabrailov.

RIA Novosti reports about white powder from the businessman’s license plate, which was also sent for examination. A source at the Four Seasons, owned by Andrei and Yuri Khotin, said that Umar Dzhabrailov has been living in the room where the shooting took place for two years and even keeps a cat there. This is quite in keeping with the spirit of his entire luxurious social life, which migrated from the nineties into the 2000s.

The fate of Senator Umar Dzhabrailov

In 2004, Dzhabrailov sold his business and became a senator, but practically did not change his lifestyle. He gladly showed journalists his mansion; under the leadership of Aidan Salakhova, he collected contemporary art: for example, he was the first in Russia to buy works by Anish Kapoor. Now Umar Dzhabrailov is a philanthropist, chairman of the board of trustees of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, honorary academician of the Russian Academy of Arts, vice-president of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia for strategic and special projects. Several years ago, he donated more than 150 works from his personal collection to the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, and there was even a special exhibition “The Gift” there. Let us remember that this is also the name of a charitable foundation close to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

The heyday of Dzhabrailov’s business and social life occurred in the second half of the nineties. Then it was accompanied by numerous media revelations and denials by representatives of the ex-senator. The entrepreneur's name was mentioned in connection with the case of the so-called “Chechen advice notes”: the use of false payment documents on stolen forms was a common type of fraud. But Umar Dzhabrailov himself denied his involvement in this case. As Dozhd reports, the ex-senator had a small oil business, and by the end of the 90s he took on real estate in Moscow.

Before joining the Federation Council, Umar Dzhabrailov headed Gruppa Plaza LLC, which managed the Rossiya Hotel, Smolensky Passage, Moscow Business Plaza business center, etc. From 2009 to 2013, he was an adviser to Presidential Assistant Sergei Prikhodko .

Umar Dzhabrailov “This is an award pistol”

The version of what happened, voiced by Umar Dzhabrailov himself, boils down to the fact that the weapon malfunctioned. “The shot happened accidentally. Umar has an old Yarygin award pistol, which, when the bolt is pulled, can fire itself. This is exactly what happened tonight: Dzhabrailov pulled the shutter and a shot rang out,” said the head of the Association of Entrepreneurs for the Development of Business Patriotism “Avanti” and a former assistant to the senator. On specialized weapons forums one can indeed find complaints about the design of this weapon, but it is doubtful that the senator from Chechnya does not know how to use a pistol at all.

In 2000, as the media reported, Umar’s brother, the first deputy general director of the Rossiya Hotel, came to the attention of the police. It was reported that in one of the hotel rooms, GUBOP employees found an entire arsenal: a sniper rifle with a silencer and two magazines, an AKS-74U assault rifle, four TT pistols, two PM guns, a homemade submachine gun, a device for firing small-caliber cartridges, 17 magazines for machine guns and pistols, two optical sights and more than 300 rounds of various calibers. The senior assistant of Khussein Dzhabrailov called the weapon “his” and put forward the version that he found the bag with the weapon at the door of the room and, thinking that the owner had forgotten it, brought it inside. This version looked unconvincing, but the rest of the work on the “Chechen trace” led nowhere.

American businessman Paul Tatum accused a Russian of threatening to kill in 1996. He believed that Umar Dzhabrailov wanted to remove him from the founders of the Intourist-RedAmer Hotel and Business Center enterprise (Dzhabrailov was deputy director in this company). After some time, the businessman was shot not far from the Kievsky railway station. It was not possible to prove Dzhabrailov’s involvement in the crime. To this day, the entrepreneur is prohibited from entering the United States.

It is known that Umar Dzhabrailov was awarded the “Grach” pistol by government decree in 2005, and signed the permitting documents for it himself. The weapon was presented to a fellow countryman in a solemn ceremony, but it was never possible to establish for what merits the senator received the award. According to media reports, “Yarygin” has been seized by investigators as evidence. And after the investigation is completed, his representative may well petition the court for additional punishment of the accused in the form of deprivation of his award weapon. In this case, the pistol will be sent to the special storage facility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs award fund.

From the scene of the incident, investigators recovered spent cartridges, bullets and solid cartridges remaining in the store. All of them were sent for examination, which will establish whether Umar Dzhabrailov used ammunition included in the set of award weapons or others. When using other ammunition, the owner of the award pistol may be held liable for illegal circulation of ammunition (Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

In relation to the hotel hooligan, organizational conclusions were also drawn along party lines. The Moscow branch of United Russia told Vedomosti that Dzhabrailov's membership in the party was suspended during the investigation. Presumably, Umar was not very upset by this news. He loses much more from the departure of Elizaveta Peskova from the Avanti association he founded, where she served as an adviser to the head of the organization. Peskova’s representative claims that this happened on August 20, and the news about the departure of the daughter of the presidential press secretary “coincided” with the shooting of Dzhabrailov, allegedly by accident.

As previously reported by the media, Umar Dzhabrailov paid for Elizaveta Peskova’s voyage to Crimea in order to draw attention to the problems of his friend Rakhmutdin Dadaev, who owns the South Sevastopol ship repair plant.
