Dzhabrailov shot. Nightlife of a millionaire: Dzhabrailov faces prison for shooting at a hotel. Four Seasons: the hotel is cooperating with the investigation, the police will comment on the case

As Kommersant learned, ex-senator Umar Dzhabrailov fired at Hotel Four Seasons 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 award pistol into the ceiling of the room, after which he began to wander with a 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.

Former senator and representative of Russia in PACE Umar Dzhabrailov, 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. The ill-wishers he made a lot of in last years meanwhile by full program they are using the incident 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, the door was opened by Dzhabrailov himself 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 hotel said that 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 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, Moscow Business Plaza business center, 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 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.

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 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 finding out whether Dzhabrailov was drunk, without specifying what kind of intoxication we're 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.

The results of the analysis and examination of the ex-senator from Chechnya revealed the presence of cocaine and its metabolite in his blood

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.

"Kommersant", 08/31/17, “Man with an award pistol”

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

According to Kommersant's sources, no one saw or heard the actual moment of the shooting, which occurred late on Tuesday evening. The security of the Four Seasons Hotel, located on Okhotny Ryad, literally a hundred meters from the entrance to Red Square, was alarmed when they saw on the video surveillance monitor how a guest of the establishment entered the elevator on the sixth floor with a pistol in his hand. The security officials 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 that he surrender his weapons, for some reason he declared that he “wouldn’t give up without a fight.” Fortunately, there was no bloodshed - the guest was nevertheless persuaded to disarm, and then they put him on the floor, handcuffed.

Explaining the origin of the weapon, the detainee provided the police with permission to store and carry Yarygin’s combat pistol, which he was awarded by order of the then head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Rashid Nurgaliev. The businessman explained the shots into the ceiling as his unfortunate mistake. According to his version, while relaxing in his room, he decided to test the pistol, which he had never used for several years, and since he had no experience in handling weapons at all, he fired several random shots upward.

The detainee has already undergone an examination to establish 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 in addition, a suspicious white powder was found in his room). True, the results of the research 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. People around the businessman believe that this version of the investigation does not correspond to the circumstances of the incident. The shots, in their opinion, were fired accidentally, and moreover, not in a “public place.” A hotel room, according to civil law, is the temporary place of residence of the citizen who rented it. Thus, Mr. Dzhabrailov will most likely get off with administrative punishment. But he will have to return the weapon to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. For now, 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.
