The ex-representative of Chechnya in Ukraine found himself at the center of a scandal
The former plenipotentiary representative of the head of Chechnya in Ukraine, Ramzan Tsitsulaev, found himself at the center of a loud scandal, the Kommersant newspaper writes today.
The publication tells the story of the founder of the Delta Key payment system, Andrei Novikov, who uncovered thefts in his business amounting to 109 million rubles, filed a police report, and then began receiving threats.
According to Novikov, Ali Zakriev, who was involved in transactions in the financial market, was involved in the fraud.
Novikov, through his acquaintances, turned to Tsitsulaev so that he, using connections in the law enforcement agencies, would punish Zakriev.
As a result, Zakriev was kidnapped in a car, taken to a car wash, where he was forced to write a receipt for the return of 109 million rubles.
After this, Zakriev himself contacted law enforcement agencies.
As a result, they tried to detain Tsitsulaev in Moscow, but he was repulsed by security, and the plenipotentiary representative of the head of Chechnya fled back to Ukraine.
He was there for about three years, but at the beginning of this year he was extradited to his homeland.
Ramzan Tsitsulaev's lawyer, Mohammed-Aref Bekaev, stated that his client does not admit guilt, since he was not involved in the crime charged with him and could not have committed it at all, since at the time mentioned in the investigation materials, he was in Ukraine. “The investigators admit this, but they continue to charge him with kidnapping and extortion,” the defense lawyer added.
