Three days ago I came to the house where we lived with the children and Sarkhan. There is a huge red banner on the gate: "For Sale." I dialed the indicated phone number and asked: how can you sell a house with people registered there? This is my house. They hung up the phone.

According to Catherine, Ismailov is the love of her life. They met at the age of 18 at the ballet, and two months later began to live together. He looked after beautifully, gave flowers, rolled around Moscow at night.

In Lesnoy Gorod, a three-story Greek-style mansion stood out from other houses. There are two more buildings nearby - one for guests, the other for servants. The children of Ruslan and David are registered in this property, and it is registered with Ekaterina Romanova. The woman showed pictures taken in the apartment. Curtains for 200 thousand dollars, custom-made by Italian designers. Antique French furniture, gilded marble columns.

We created our own cosiness. We thought we would live in this house for a long time. And, of course, when I left here with the children, I didn't think that it would be forever. Now I want to return to this house again. This is my house. I tried to contact Sarkhan, but the previous phone number is not available. There is no connection with his friends. During these four years that we are not together, he never called and asked if everything is fine with the children? Where do they live?


Sarkhan introduced me to his father Telman Ismailov at a restaurant in France. All his family, his friends knew me. His mother did not really love me, because she did not want him to associate life with a Russian girl. Sarkhan and I had not just love, but also good friendly relations. Even when he was forced to marry a girl of their nation, on the day of the wedding, he told me: "You will always be with me."

However, four years later, the whole tale ended. My father started having problems with business, the Cherkizovsky market was closed. The man almost killed Catherine.

Once he almost strangled me in the car, and was saved by bystanders.

Later, the house became expensive to maintain. In this regard, Sarkhan offered to move to an apartment for a while.

We took the most basic. After all, in a few months they were supposed to return to this house. I remember sitting with the children in the car. And the guards carried out our things. Then I went up to the apartment. And the car with the children took off. I realized that he decided to leave me and take the children.

The father brought a nanny to the children, who spoke poor Russian.

Father and my brother, - says 13-year-old daughter of Romanova Lana, - settled in some apartment with an incomprehensible woman-nanny, who even spoke poorly in Russian. She included cartoons for us so that we would not interfere with her. During this time, my father came to us only twice, the first - he said, we are moving to live and study in Turkey. The second time he wanted to take his brother to a restaurant, but the boy began to be capricious, and his father beat him. And four months later he called and said: "I am returning you to your mother."

With rented apartment the family moved out because they had nothing to pay with. She was offered to live in a small room at the church, since there was nowhere to go, she agreed. The deceived woman began to work in a church cafeteria with a salary of 15 thousand rubles. Living with servants, nannies and governesses, she did not know how to do anything. At first, everyone in the temple laughed at her.

The owner of Cherkozon is involved in seven murders, he blames partners for everything

Telman Ismailov wrote a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin. In it, he claims to have become a victim of former business partners and accuses them of corruption ties. According to Rosbalt's interlocutors, such a message may be due to the fact that the TFR plans to bring charges against Ismailov in organizing a criminal community.

As told to "Rosbalt" a source in law enforcement, former owner of the Cherkizovsky market Telman Ismailov handed a letter addressed to the head of state to the presidential administration of the Russian Federation. This information was confirmed to the agency by several interlocutors familiar with the situation. The message takes 12 pages, the essence of it was told to Rosbalt by a source who got acquainted with the document. According to him, Ismailov describes the alignment of forces behind the smuggling channel through which goods were delivered to Cherkizon. After the closure of the market, according to the entrepreneur, he found himself in the most unfair situation: his “junior” partners were allocated other large areas to continue their business, but he himself did not receive anything. Moreover, according to Ismailov, the former partners, with the help of their connections, launched an attack on him, undermined him financial position... And then they began to persecute him along the law enforcement line. As a result, the businessman left the country, and was later put on the wanted list on charges of organizing two murders. In his letter, Ismailov describes the connections and possible crimes allegedly committed by his former partners. And at the same time he declares that he himself was not involved in the acts incriminated to him.

A Rosbalt source in law enforcement believes that Ismailov's arguments do not stand up to criticism, and connects the message with the events taking place now in the criminal case. “The investigation has collected enough evidence to bring charges against Ismailov in absentia of organizing a criminal community - this may happen in a few days,” the agency's interlocutor said. We have a lot of questions for the brother of the businessman, the former deputy chairman of the CAO Fazil Izmailov, but he is not available for interrogation. Also, one of the former senior officers of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the CAO has already been interrogated. He is suspected of having close ties with the Ismailov clan. " According to a Rosbalt source, Telman Ismailov and his brothers Fazil and Vagif (wanted) run between France and Montenegro. At one time Telman Ismailov lived in Turkey, but, according to the agency's interlocutor, he was forced to leave this country: allegedly local police had questions to him in connection with the shooting of thief in law Rovshan Dzhaniev (Rovshan Lyankoransky).

According to the source of the agency, now in the "Ismailovs case" there are already seven murders and attempts, which are connected with the conflict between the businessman and the "Koptevskaya" and "Lyubertsy" groups. The reason for the conflict with the "Koptevskaya" organized criminal group lies in the struggle for the right to control a number of the capital's wholesale markets. At the end of the 1990s, the Ismailov family laid eyes on lucrative objects in the Northern Administrative District (CAO), in particular - on the Lianozovsky market, on the market in West Degunino, several shopping centers.

However, representatives of the "Koptev" group, who did not want to share profits at all, were related to the majority of the objects that interested Ismailov. A conflict arose between the then leader of the "Koptevskys" Andrei Lobanov (Loban) and the family of the owner of "Cherkizon", which ended in the murder of the "authority".

After that, in the memory of the operatives, the Ismailovs began to "fight" with Loban's successors - also members of the "Koptevskaya" organized criminal group. Over the course of five years, at least seven "authorities" were killed. The main chord of this war was the arson of the Lianozovsky market in October 2005, which, according to the investigation, was committed by order of the Ismailov family. The Koptevsky and related businessmen had to agree with the claims of the Ismailovs and create partnerships with the family.

At some point, the Ismailovs sold all the objects and, according to the terms of the agreements, had to give part of the profits to their partners. For example, the share of businessman Vladimir Savkin from the sale of the Stroymarket No. 1 shopping center was $ 5.5 million. However, he was banally thrown. Savkin began to remind the family of the debt, mainly his claims were directed to Rafik Ismailov. When he became too insistent, the businessman was invited to a meeting to discuss the details of the payment of the debt. During it, in May 2016, Savkin, along with his friend Yuri Brilev, was shot dead. A case was initiated, within the framework of which all the details of the Ismailov family's activities "surfaced".

As Rosbalt has already reported, “ right hand»Rafik Garry Belotserkovsky. According to the testimony of Belotserkovsky, in 2000 he and Rafik arrived at the Prague restaurant, where he witnessed a conversation with Telman Ismailov. During the meeting, according to Belotsekovsky, the brothers discussed the need to eliminate the "authority" of the "Koptevskaya" organized criminal group Andrei Lobanov, as well as the details of the crime.

In his free time from work, Telman travels a lot (in addition to Russian citizenship he also has Turkish citizenship) and collects watches. Currently, his personal collection consists of two thousand pieces.

Investigators believe that in addition to officials, businessmen and bandits, Telman Ismailov could have ordered his killers to deal with the famous singer.

To the charges in the case former owner Cherkizon Telman Ismailov added a new factor in the murders and illegal arms trafficking - in the creation of an organized criminal community. Investigators are confident that, expanding his family's empire in Moscow, Ismailov ordered the murder of at least eight people.

Among them are businessmen, leaders, militants from rival organized crime groups and even former pet Ismailova is the once popular pop singer Avraam Russo. He was saved from death only by the fact that drug addicts were recklessly hired to kill him.

In the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in the Moscow Region, which is now conducting a case former billionaire Telman Ismailov, are now confident that he has amassed a full-fledged combat group in the capital from his fellow countrymen and relatives. That is why Article 210 of the Criminal Code (“Organized Criminal Community”) appeared in his case. This is one of the most serious articles in the Criminal Code, according to which the leaders of bloody organized crime groups and “thieves in law” usually pass. In fact, this charge always faces a life sentence.

So, according to the Mash public, Ismailov gathered a gang to solve his numerous "work" issues. During the time of the former mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, his market empire in the capital grew and expanded, but there were also enough strong competitors who did not want to voluntarily share this pie with Ismailov. Since the 90s and until now, the markets in Moscow have not left the shadows, some are owned by businessmen, others by former gangsters or organized crime groups.

Ismailov hated it when someone tried to dictate their terms to him or climbed into his territory, for example, trying to impose tribute on merchants, - said a source in the special services. - Also, his victims were officials who prevented him from developing a market business or demanded too much for their services.

Some of the Eldukaev brothers were responsible for the security bloc in Telman Ismailov's group - they appear in the testimony of several victims and witnesses at once. According to law enforcement officers, one of them was Tarkhan Eldukaev.

Initially, investigators collected evidence of two murders ordered by Telman Ismailov to his group. This is his former business partner, 55-year-old Moscow businessman Vladimir Savkin, as well as his friend Yuri Brilev. According to investigators, Savkin and Ismailov's younger brother were once co-owners of a large shopping and entertainment complex in Moscow.

Then Ismailov sold the common business, but took all the money for himself. In order not to return Savkin's share - $ 5.5 million, the Ismailovs sent the killer Mehman Kerimov to him. At the meeting, he shot Savkin and his friend Brilev.

According to the Mash public, among the victims of the group was the vice-rector of the Russian state university physical culture(RGUFK) Mikhail Bodin. He was killed in the fall of 1996 in Moscow. In the evening, Bodin entered the entrance of his house and took the elevator to the second floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, two criminals shot him with pistols. Soon the head of the territorial association of land use regulation in the Eastern District of the capital, Antonina Lukina, was also killed.

The reason for the murder lay on the surface: the Russian State University of Physical Culture owned the "golden" territory in the area of ​​the Cherkizovskaya metro station, which was claimed by both the local Golyanovskaya organized criminal group and the owner of Cherkizon Telman Ismailov. According to the investigation, Bodin and Lukina did not want to give land plots for the expansion of the empire of the Azerbaijani organized criminal group, for which they paid.

One of the victims in the criminal case is the once famous pop singer Abraham Russo (Abraham Zhanovich Ipdzhyan), who was promoted with the money of billionaire Telman Ismailov. The singer survived several assassination attempts: in 2004, unidentified persons kidnapped him, pushed him into the trunk of a car and took one of the co-owners of the Prague restaurant to the dacha. There Russo was severely beaten, breaking his nose. On August 19, 2006, the singer survived a new assassination attempt - someone fired at Russo's jeep from a machine gun.

The singer received three bullet wounds, but was able to get to the Golden Palace casino himself, where he got out of the car, went to the guards on his own and asked for help. The guards called an ambulance. Doctors performed two operations, took out the bullets, but Russo lost a lot of blood. According to the Mash public, the singer was saved by an accident. As it turned out, the killers were on cocaine and simply could not make accurate shots. The artist survived, after which he hastily left Russia.

Russo himself always carefully avoided talking about versions of the assassination attempt and the possible involvement of billionaire Ismailov in it. However, investigators are sure that it was the market oligarch who gave the order to kill the singer. According to one version, Russo spoke rather harshly about his sponsor, according to the other, he hid left income from corporate events and concerts from him.

In the mid-2000s, Telman Ismailov decided to seize his hands on several markets and shopping centers in the north of Moscow, so the work of his killers increased. The owner of Cherkizon had an eye on the markets in the Lianozovo and Degunino districts, which were controlled by the Koptevskaya organized crime group. It was not possible to reach an agreement with the world, so the leader of the Koptevskys, Andrei Lobanov (Loban), was soon killed, as well as other brigadiers of the group.

During the redistribution of spheres of influence in the capital markets, the leaders of the Lyubertsy were also killed.

After Ismailov lost Cherkizon in 2009, he began to select sites that could still be borrowed for markets. The billionaire decided to seize a large market in Balashikha, which was also controlled by local bandits. According to the investigation, the killers of the Azerbaijani organized crime group were also sent to them.

Now under arrest is the younger brother of the former billionaire Rafik Ismailov, as well as a 57-year-old businessman from Zelenograd Mehman Kerimov. Telman Ismailov himself fled Russia, so he was put on the international wanted list, and the court had already arrested him in absentia. Presumably, Ismailov is hiding in Turkey, but Russian investigators do not lose hope of getting him.
