Dzhabrailov shooting in a hotel. Hooliganism and recognizance: Umar Dzhabrailov was detained for shooting at the Four Seasons Hotel

The person detained yesterday for shooting at hotel room former senator and representative of Russia in PACE Umar Dzhabrailov. 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. The ill-wishers he made a lot of in last years meanwhile, they are 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, the policeman found Dzhabrailov in a state of either drug or alcohol intoxication. The detainee has already undergone the appropriate 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. Source in owned Four Seasons said that Dzhabrailov had been living in the room where the shooting took place for two years and even kept 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 the senator

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

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 Rakhman Yansukov, head of the Avanti Association of Entrepreneurs for the Development of Business Patriotism and 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, 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.

American businessman Paul Tatum accused a Russian of threatening to kill in 1996. He believed that 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 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 “Rook” pistol by government decree in 2005, and the permitting documents for it were signed by Rashid Nurgaliev himself. Ramzan Kadyrov presented the weapon to his fellow countryman in a solemn ceremony, but it was not possible to establish for what particular 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 Mr. Dzhabrailov used ammunition included in the set of award weapons or others. When using other ammunition, the owner 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.

MOSCOW, August 30 – RIA Novosti. The night from Tuesday to Wednesday turned out to be unusually stormy for the capital's Four Seasons Hotel: police detained businessman and ex-senator Umar Dzhabrailov at the hotel, who, according to preliminary data, shot at the ceiling with an award pistol. A white powder was allegedly found in his room, which was sent for examination, and law enforcement officers are also determining whether Dzhabrailov was drunk at the time of the incident. The police have opened a criminal case of hooliganism, in which the businessman could face imprisonment for up to seven years.

As reported on the website of the Russian-Qatari Business Council (RKBC), Umar Dzhabrailov is a major businessman of Chechen origin, is engaged in construction, heads the RKBC and the board of trustees of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art.

In 2004-2009, he was a member of the Federation Council and served on the committees on economic policy and international affairs. According to media reports, in 2000 Dzhabrailov participated in the Russian presidential elections, gaining 0.1% of the vote.

Overnight at the hotel

The incident with the “shooting millionaire” happened at night from Tuesday to Wednesday. A law enforcement source told RIA Novosti that Dzhabrailov was detained on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday at the Four Seasons Hotel, where he allegedly shot at the ceiling several times.

“Businessman Dzhabrailov was detained at night in a hotel in the city center,” the agency’s interlocutor said, without specifying other details.

The press service of the Moscow GUMVD RIA Novosti confirmed the incident with a guest of one of the hotels, without specifying his name. “In the evening, the police received a report that a guest was violating the rules of residence at a hotel in the central part of the city. Police officers who arrived at the scene detained a man who was shooting upward from his award pistol,” the press service reported.

Powder in the room and a reward pistol

The situation with the detention of Dzhabrailov acquired new details throughout the day: thus, according to preliminary data, the ex-senator started shooting at the hotel with an award pistol.

As a source in law enforcement agencies told RIA Novosti, “according to preliminary data, Dzhabrailov fired several times from an award pistol at the ceiling.” According to the source, there were no injuries.

Also, as the agency’s interlocutor indicated, the police are investigating whether the businessman was drunk during the shooting incident. “An examination was carried out to determine whether Dzhabrailov was drunk. Its results are not ready yet,” the agency’s interlocutor said, without specifying whether we were talking about drug or alcohol intoxication.

Later it became known that white powder was found in Dzhabrailov’s room, where he stayed overnight. “A white powder of an unknown substance was found in the room. It has been sent for examination,” a source told RIA Novosti.

Hooliganism and resistance

The police, in turn, opened a criminal case for hooliganism after a night incident in a Moscow hotel.

“A criminal case has been opened on this fact under the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Hooliganism”, which provides for real prison terms and other types of punishment,” the source said. The press service of the Moscow Main Internal Affairs Directorate confirmed to the agency that a criminal case of hooliganism had been initiated after an emergency at the hotel, but the police did not officially specify the name of the alleged hooligan.

According to a source in law enforcement agencies, Dzhabrailov may be deprived of the right to carry an award weapon after the incident, “if the court makes such a decision.”

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, a source in law enforcement agencies denied this information, telling RIA Novosti that Dzhabrailov behaved calmly during the arrest and did not resist.

In turn, lawyer and criminal law specialist Alexei Sinitsyn believes that if Dzhabrailov did resist, he faces up to seven years in prison. "Part 1 of Article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hooliganism in the absence of aggravating circumstances) provides for punishment in the form of a fine of up to 500 thousand rubles, or imprisonment for up to 5 years. In the presence of aggravating circumstances, for example, if hooliganism is associated with resistance to a government official, then the sanction already provides a fine of up to 1 million rubles, or imprisonment of up to 7 years,” Sinitsyn told RIA Novosti.

As for the hotel where the incident occurred, according to the vice-president of the Federation of Restaurateurs and Hoteliers (FRiO) Vadim Prasov, the shooting incident will have a bad impact on the reputation of the Four Seasons, but will not affect the life of the hotel in the long term.

Fortress Plan and Support Group

After the arrest, the ex-senator was taken to the Kitay-Gorod police station, where a crowd soon gathered a large number of journalists. Earlier, information appeared in the media that “crowds of Chechens allegedly gathered near the police department to support their fellow countryman.” However, according to the observation of a RIA Novosti correspondent at the scene, this information is not true.

Also, media information that the “Fortress” plan was introduced at the Kitay-Gorod police station was not confirmed due to the fact that the police allegedly feared armed attacks in connection with the detention of Dzhabrailov. “Fortress” is a collection of personnel involved in suppressing the seizure of the internal affairs bodies’ own facilities.

“The information disseminated by a number of media outlets about the announcement of a special plan in one of the police departments does not correspond to reality,” a representative of the press service of the capital’s main headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs told RIA Novosti.

Later, Rakhman Yansukov, the president of the Avanti association, whose founder is the detainee, came to the police department to support Dzhabrailov. According to him, Dzhabrailov - " living legend and an example to follow," as well as an educated, tolerant person. When asked if he knew whether Dzhabrailov uses drugs and alcohol, Yansukov replied that he leads a healthy lifestyle and plays sports.

Meanwhile, an ambulance was called to the detainee, but he was “left on the spot and received a recommendation to see a doctor.” Later, according to Denis Nabiullin, a member of the Moscow Public Monitoring Commission, Dzhabrailov was taken to the Four Seasons Hotel for investigative actions, after which, according to a RIA Novosti source in law enforcement agencies, he was released on his own recognizance.

As Kommersant learned, ex-senator Umar Dzhabrailov carried out a shooting at the Four Seasons Hotel in the center of the capital while under the influence of cocaine. Residues of the drug in the tests taken from Mr. Dzhabrailov were discovered by specialists from the Moscow Scientific and Practical Center for Narcology. Mr. Dzhabrailov was fined by the magistrate court for using cocaine, and he will soon appear before the Tverskoy District Court for hooliganism.

As follows from the decision of the 370th Magistrate Court District, Umar Dzhabrailov, who had not previously been brought to administrative responsibility, committed an administrative offense, namely, he used a narcotic drug without a doctor’s prescription. The court found that on August 29 at 22:25, Mr. Dzhabrailov took cocaine in his room at the Four Seasons Hotel on Okhotny Ryad Street. Exactly five minutes after this, the hotel staff called the police - Mr. Dzhabrailov, who had clearly lost control of himself, fired several times from an award pistol into the ceiling of the room, after which he began to wander with the weapon along the corridor of the sixth floor. By the time the law enforcement officers arrived, Mr. Dzhabrailov had returned to his room. At first, he told the police that he “wouldn’t give up without a fight,” but then he laid down his weapon and allowed himself to be handcuffed.

The next day after the arrest, the police escorted Umar Dzhabrailov to the Moscow Scientific and Practical Center for Narcology, where an analysis of the suspect’s urine showed the presence of cocaine and its metabolite in it - 90–95% of the taken dose of this drug is excreted from the body within two to three days. in the form of unchanged cocaine and its derivatives.

Having received the results of the analysis and examination of Mr. Dzhabrailov, the police investigator, who had previously opened 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, separated into separate proceedings materials containing information about the use of narcotic drugs by the accused - on the grounds of an administrative offense under Art. 6.9 of the Code Russian Federation about administrative offenses.

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

There is no objective data in the case to refute the doctor’s conclusion and the contents of the medical examination report. The fact that Umar Dzhabrailov was in a state of drug intoxication, the court decided, “is confirmed by the entire body of evidence examined.” When imposing the punishment, the court took into account the circumstances and nature of the offense committed, the identity of the perpetrator Dzhabrailov, as well as the lack of information about bringing him to administrative responsibility earlier. As a result, Mr. Dzhabrailov was fined 4 thousand rubles.

It should be noted that the ex-senator was present at the meeting, during which he was recognized as an administrative violator and fully admitted his guilt. As Mr. Dzhabrailov’s defense expects, after he admits guilt, he will receive the minimum punishment in a criminal case of hooliganism. The Tverskoy District Court will consider it in a special manner on November 22.

There are suspicions that businessman and ex-senator from Chechnya Umar Dzhabrailov was intoxicated when on the night of August 30 started shooting at the capital's Four Seasons Hotel near the Kremlin walls were confirmed. As reporters were told RBC and agencies "Moscow" law enforcement sources, the drug test was positive.

The Main Directorate of the Moscow Ministry of Internal Affairs refused to officially comment on this information, explaining that it is not subject to public disclosure as investigative data. The businessman’s press secretary, Grigory Gorchakov, said: “I don’t think this is so, it looks like a canard in the media.” When asked about Dzhabrailov’s condition, the press secretary replied: “It’s normal, he’s recovering.”

It was previously reported that in the detainee's room found white powder .

The police were called to the hotel at Okhotny Ryad on the evening of August 29 by hotel security, who, using video cameras, saw a certain guest in the elevator with a pistol in his hands. 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. Dzhabrailov opened the door, holding a pistol pointed at the floor. For some reason he said that he would not give up without a fight. The police managed to persuade him to put the gun on the floor, they saw holes in the ceiling, after which Dzhabrailov was taken in handcuffs to the police station (from where he was later released under recognizance not to leave). A Yarygin brand award pistol was confiscated from the businessman.

He explained to the police: while relaxing in his room, he decided to check the pistol, which he had never used for several years. And since the ex-senator from Chechnya had no experience in handling weapons, he accidentally fired upwards several times.

Kommersant's sources they assure that the fact of using the pistol can be easily verified. The Yarygin pistol from which Dzhabrailov shot was a reward, presented to him by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Nurgaliev.

Regular cartridges are issued to the recipient along with the pistol, and their quantity, brand and serial numbers are entered in a special invoice, which the owner must keep along with the permit. From the scene of the incident, investigators seized spent cartridges, bullets and cartridges remaining in the pistol magazine. They were also sent for an examination, which will determine whether Dzhabrailov used ammunition included in the award weapon kit or others.

At the same time, Dzhabrailov will be able to avoid criminal liability. Some sources close to the businessman reported that hooliganism in public place it's wrong to say. A hotel room, according to civil law, is the temporary place of residence of the citizen who rented it. Therefore, Dzhabrailov should face administrative punishment.
