Umar Dzhabrailov opened fire. Umar Dzhabrailov shot

The former senator and representative of Russia in PACE, detained yesterday for shooting in a hotel room, spent less than a day in the Kitai-Gorod police station. After interrogation, the suspected 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 bail. During these days, the version of Dzhabrailov himself about what happened became clear, the origin of the ill-fated pistol became known, and other muddy stories were remembered in which the Vainakh businessman and legislator was involved. The ill-wishers he had amassed in last years meanwhile by full program use the incident to discredit both the senator himself and his patrons from Ramzan Kadyrov to Dmitry Peskov.

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

RIA Novosti reports on a white powder from the businessman's number, which was also sent for examination. Source in owned by Andrei and Yuri Khotin Four Seasons said that Umar Dzhabrailov had been living in the room where the shooting had taken place for two years and even kept a cat there. This is quite in the spirit of all his luxurious social life, which migrated from the nineties to the zero.

The fate of Senator Umar Dzhabrailov

In 2004, Dzhabrailov sold the business and became a senator, but he practically did not change his lifestyle. He gladly showed journalists his mansion, under the guidance 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. A few years ago, he donated more than 150 works from his personal collection to the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, which even hosted a special exhibition, The Gift. Recall that a charitable foundation close to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is also called.

The heyday of Dzhabrailov's business and social life came 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. According to Dozhd, the ex-senator had a small oil business, and by the end of the 90s he took up real estate in Moscow.

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

Umar Dzhabrailov "This is a premium pistol"

The version of what happened, voiced by Umar Dzhabrailov himself, boils down to the fact that the weapon failed. “The shot happened by accident. Umar has an old award pistol Yarygin, who, when the shutter is jerked, can shoot himself. This is exactly what happened tonight: Dzhabrailov pulled the shutter and a shot rang out, ”said the head of the Avanti Association of Entrepreneurs for the Development of Business Patriotism 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 did not know how to use a pistol at all.

In 2000, as reported by the media, 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, the GUBOP employees found a whole arsenal: a sniper rifle with a silencer and two magazines, an AKS-74U assault rifle, four TT pistols, two PMs, a home-made submachine gun, a device for firing small-caliber cartridges, 17 magazines for machine guns and pistols, two optical sights and more than 300 cartridges of various calibers. The senior referent of Hussein Dzhabrailov called the weapon “his own”, and put forward the version that he found the bag with weapons 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 development of the "Chechen trace" did not lead to anything.

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

It is known that Umar Dzhabrailov was awarded the Grach pistol by a government decree in 2005, and he signed the permits for it himself. The weapons were solemnly handed over to the fellow countryman, but for what particular merits the senator received the award, it was not possible to establish. According to media reports, so far "Yarygin" has been seized by the investigation as material evidence. And after the completion of the investigation, his representative may well apply to the court with a petition for additional punishment of the accused in the form of deprivation of his award weapons. In this case, the pistol will be sent to the special storage of the award fund of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

From the scene, investigators seized spent cartridges, bullets and whole cartridges that remained in the magazine. All of them were sent for examination, which is to be established whether Umar Dzhabrailov used the ammunition included in the award weapon kit or others. When using a different ammunition load, the owner of the award pistol may be held liable for the illegal circulation of cartridges (Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

With regard to the hotel hooligan, they made organizational conclusions along the party line. The Moscow branch of United Russia informed Vedomosti that Dzhabrailov's membership in the party was suspended while the investigation was underway. Presumably, Umar was not very upset by this news. He loses much more from the exit of Elizaveta Peskova from the Avanti association he founded, where she served as an adviser to the head of the organization. A representative of Peskova assures 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 the voyage of Elizaveta Peskova to the Crimea in order to draw attention to the problems of his friend Rakhmutdin Dadaev, who owns the South Sevastopol shipyard.

Having received the results of the analysis and examination of Mr. Dzhabrailov, the police interrogator, who had previously initiated criminal case No. 11701450169000215 against the ex-senator under part 1 of Art. 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hooliganism), on September 26 he singled out materials containing information about the use of a drug by the accused on the grounds of an administrative offense under Art. 6.9 of the Code Russian Federation about administrative offences.

Having studied the materials of the case, the court came to the conclusion that the report on the administrative offense against Mr. Dzhabrailov was drawn up by the investigator quite reasonably.

"Kommersant", 08/31/17, "A man with an award pistol"

On Wednesday, a Moscow businessman, a former member of the Federation Council from Chechnya, Umar Dzhabrailov, became a defendant in a criminal case of hooliganism, who arranged an unreasonable shooting at the Four Seasons Hotel. Given that the businessman, as his friends say, accidentally shot at the ceiling - he was checking the serviceability of his pistol - and the incident itself did not occur in a public place, but in a hotel room rented by the ex-senator, he may well avoid criminal liability. But Yarygin's pistol, which Senator Dzhabrailov was awarded many years ago by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, he will most likely have to hand over.

According to Kommersant's sources, no one saw or heard the very moment of the shooting, which took place late on Tuesday evening. Security Hotel Four seasons, located on Okhotny Ryad, literally a hundred meters from the entrance to Red Square, was alarmed when she saw on the CCTV monitor how a guest of the institution with a gun in his hand entered the elevator on the sixth floor. The security guards themselves did not dare to detain the dangerous guest, they called a police squad from the nearest Kitai-Gorod department and suggested that the law enforcement officers deal with the armed client who was staying in room 633.

However, when the law enforcement officers demanded to hand over their weapons, for some reason he said that he “won’t give up without a fight.” Fortunately, it did not come to bloodshed - the guest was nevertheless persuaded to disarm, and then they laid him on the floor, handcuffed.

Explaining the origin of the weapon, the detainee gave the police permission to keep and carry the Yarygin combat pistol, which he was awarded by the order of the then head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Rashid Nurgaliyev. The businessman explained the shooting at the ceiling with his unfortunate oversight. According to his version, while relaxing in his room, he decided to check the pistol, which he had never used for several years, and since he had no experience with weapons at all, he fired several random shots upwards.

The detainee has already passed an examination to determine whether Mr. Dzhabrailov was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the shooting (according to the police, he did not look quite adequate, and besides, a suspicious white powder was found in his room), the detainee has already passed. True, the results of the studies will be known in a few days.

One way or another, the police investigation qualified the incident at the hotel under Art. 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - "Hooliganism" committed in a public place. Surrounded by a businessman, they believe that this version of the investigation does not correspond to the circumstances of the incident. The shots, in their opinion, were fired by accident, and besides, not in a “public place”. A hotel room, according to civil law, is a temporary place of residence for the citizen who rented it. Thus, Mr. Dzhabrailov, most likely, will get off with an administrative punishment. But he will have to return the weapon to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. So far, Yarygin has been seized by the investigation as material evidence. And after the completion of the investigation, his representative may well apply to the court with a petition for additional punishment of the accused in the form of deprivation of his award weapons. In this case, the pistol will be sent to the special storage of the award fund of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
