Umar Dzhabrailov detention. Umar Dzhabrailov shot. Umar Dzhabrailov “This is an award pistol”

At the center of a new shooting scandal in Moscow is a famous businessman and ex-senator from the Chechen Republic Umar Dzhabrailov. Presumably, he fired a pistol while in a hotel room near the Kremlin. No one was injured as a result of the incident. However, the hotel staff filed a complaint with the police. The businessman was detained and taken to a pre-trial detention center, but later released on his own recognizance.

“I will not give up without a fight,” he told the arriving operatives. According to other information, Umar Dzhabrailov behaved calmly and himself gave the police Yarygin’s award pistol, from which he started shooting in a fashionable hotel in the very center of the capital, literally a stone’s throw from the Kremlin. At the hotel where Dzhabrailov was taken after lunch, investigative actions continued all day, reports. The staff prefers not to talk about what happened.

It is known that the ex-senator from the Chechen Republic settled in a room on the 6th floor. This is a royal apartment with 3 rooms and a kitchen. The eccentric millionaire’s press secretary explained: Dzhabrailov’s company has an office in the building. A very demanding client, the hotel staff whispers. I ordered dinner, but it was brought not by a waiter in a tuxedo, but by an ordinary maid, which, it seems, infuriated Umar Dzhabrailov.

Eyewitnesses say that Dzhabrailov was drunk, and in his room, according to a source in law enforcement agencies, traces of a certain white powder were found, they were sent for examination. The guards complained: Dzhabrailov not only shot in his room, but also walked around the hotel with a pistol, in particular, he was seen with it in the elevator. Those around the businessman make excuses: the shot most likely happened by accident. An old award pistol can supposedly misfire when the bolt is pulled.

“He is a tolerant person, he graduated with honors from MGIMO, and he does not need any characteristics, everyone knows him. He is a very intelligent, decent person. He creates, he creates, he always helps, he has helped many families and is helping now,” said Dzhabrailov’s assistant. , President of the Association of Entrepreneurs for the Development of Business Patriotism in Russia Rakhman Yansukov.

The Kitay-Gorod police department is under siege. Journalists are on duty here, and only residents of the area are allowed inside. The "Fortress" plan has been introduced. This means that the police are afraid of armed attacks. Umar Dzhabrailov was brought here late at night. At about 4 a.m. he complained of unbearable toothache and insomnia. However, the arriving ambulance team found no reason for hospitalization.

Towards evening, information about the introduction of the “Fortress” plan was denied. Umar Dzhabrailov faces up to 5 years in prison for hooliganism. Considering that there were no casualties, he will most likely get off with correctional labor or a fine. During the investigation, he was released on his own recognizance.

In the Moscow Four Seasons hotel, white powder was found in the room of ex-senator Umar Dzhabrailov, who was detained for shooting at this hotel by police, RIA Novosti and RBC reported with reference to sources in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The weight of the found powder is unknown and what kind of substance it is is also unknown. The powder found in room 633 has been sent for examination. Information about the find was confirmed by a source at the hotel.

An interlocutor at the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the senator was in room 633, but the RBC hotel itself stated that Dzhabrailov was not registered there. Meanwhile, it is known from other sources that Dzhabrailov’s office is located at the Four Seasons Hotel.

The police were called to the hotel on Okhotny Ryad the day before after security guards watching video cameras saw a guest in the elevator holding a gun at about 10:30 p.m.

Three police officers arrived on the scene, proceeded to the sixth floor and knocked on room 633, an apartment with three rooms and a kitchen. As Moskovsky Komsomolets writes, the question “Who?” came from behind the door. The police introduced themselves, the door was opened by a man holding a gun in his hands, pointed at the floor. The police officers demanded to put down the weapon, to which he replied: “I won’t give up without a fight!”

The police managed to persuade the citizen to put the gun on the floor; they saw holes in the ceiling, after which Dzhabrailov was taken to the police station in handcuffs. A Yarygin brand award pistol was confiscated from the businessman.

The businessman was placed in a temporary detention center, where he remains to this day. At about 04:00, an ambulance arrived based on his complaints of insomnia and toothache, but doctors found no reason for hospitalization.

The police are investigating whether Dzhabrailov was drunk, without specifying what kind of intoxication they are talking about. According to Mash, on the evening of August 29, the businessman wanted to have dinner, and started shooting because the food was brought to his room not by the waiter, but by the cleaning lady.

Dzhabrailov's fellow countrymen gathered at the Kitay-Gorod Department of Internal Affairs

Dzhabrailov’s fellow countrymen have flocked to the building of the Kitay-Gorod Department of Internal Affairs, their number is growing, writes MK. One of them, with a long beard, said that he sympathized with the businessman and came to support him. Currently, only citizens living in the territory under their jurisdiction are allowed into the department.

The police opened a criminal case after the night incident under Article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Hooliganism”. The official police report announcing the case did not mention the name of the suspect.

Since 2004, Dzhabrailov represented the executive power of Chechnya in the Federation Council and was deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs. In addition, he was a member of the Russian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. In 2009, he resigned as a senator and became an advisor to the Russian Presidential Assistant for International Affairs Sergei Prikhodko on a voluntary basis. Dzhabrailov held this position until 2013.

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 for what particular merits the senator received the award could not be established. 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.

According to Dzhabrailov, on the night of August 29, while in a hotel room, he decided to check Yarygin’s pistol, which he was awarded by order of Rashid Nurgaliev, who headed the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2004-2012. Since the ex-senator had no experience with weapons, which he had not used for several years, the man fired several random shots upward.

As reported the day before, at around 04:00 the police control panel received a message from the Four Seasons Hotel, located next to Manezhnaya Square, about a shooting committed by one of the guests.

Law enforcement officers arrived at the scene and detained the troublemaker. According to the source, Dzhabrailov fired from Yarygin’s award pistol. The ex-senator was taken to the internal affairs department, where after some time a decision was made to initiate a criminal case.

Information appeared in the media that when he was detained, the businessman allegedly shouted that he would not give up without a fight and showed aggression towards the police. However, other sources in the security forces denied this information, stating that the detainee behaved calmly and did not resist.

It was also noted that accommodation in the room in which the incident occurred starts at 150 thousand rubles per day. According to one of the versions voiced by the media, Dzhabrailov opened fire in order to express indignation, since the order placed in the restaurant was brought to him by a maid instead of a waiter.

Later it became known that a criminal case was opened under the article “Hooliganism” in connection with the incident that occurred in a Moscow hotel. The capital's Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed the fact of the emergency, but refused to name the detainee.

Representatives of the businessman on Wednesday claimed that they knew nothing about what happened. After Dzhabrailov’s arrest, the entrepreneur’s press secretary, Grigory Gorchakov, was only aware that the ex-senator was in Moscow; his assistant Rakhman Yansukov also stated that he could neither confirm nor deny this information. After Dzhabrailov’s release, his representatives did not answer calls, and the entrepreneur’s own phones were blocked.

The fact that it was Dzhabrailov who was detained for shooting at the hotel was confirmed by Denis Nabiullin, a member of the Public Monitoring Commission for Moscow, and the press service of the United Russia party, which reported that it would suspend the businessman’s membership in it after the report of his detention. In accordance with the party's charter, this happens automatically if a criminal case is initiated against its member, United Russia explained.

So far, a criminal case against Dzhabrailov has been initiated only under Art. 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Hooliganism”), the maximum penalty for which is seven years in prison. However, the offender faces the maximum sentence only if he, in addition to using a weapon, resisted the police. If the white, powdery substance that was seized during an inspection of the hotel room where the ex-senator lived turns out to be a drug, the list of charges may be supplemented with an article for possession of narcotic drugs. Depending on the severity of the crime, which in the case of possession is determined by the weight of the drug seized, the punishment can be up to 15 years in prison.

While these charges are in question, it is almost certain that the ex-senator will be deprived of the right to carry an award weapon.

Umar Dzhabrailov was born in 1958 in Grozny. He graduated from the Faculty of Economics of MGIMO and began his career as a businessman in the late 1980s. In 1988, he worked at the Moscow cooperative gallery as an art inspector.

In 2000, he participated in the race for the post of President of the Russian Federation, but took last place in the elections, gaining only 0.1% of the votes.

From 2004 to 2009, Dzhabrailov represented the executive branch of the Chechen Republic in the Federation Council.

Currently, the ex-senator, according to SPARK-Interfax, is a co-owner of nine companies, in particular, he owns a controlling stake in the investment and construction company Avanti StroyGroup, which is engaged in the construction of residential buildings in Reutov and Moscow.

Dzhabrailov is an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Arts. He is known as a philanthropist and collector and is on the board of trustees of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMMA).
