Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow arrested a 21-year-old illegal immigrant Shahina Abbasova, accused of murdering a Muscovite . A preventive measure was also chosen for other defendants in the case. Life.ru found out how a family of migrants appeared in Moscow and how they earned money.

Who was arrested by the court?

During the trial, Shahin Abbasov did not raise his head. According to the SHOT telegram channel, he said that he did not intend to kill the 24-year-old biker Kirill Kovalev, they say, this happened by accident, so the case needs to be reclassified under the article “Murder by negligence.” He asked the court to place him under house arrest and not to harm his relatives who helped him escape. The investigator informed the court that Abbasov was accused of committing a particularly serious crime. According to one version, while he was running with his brothers, he committed several more crimes. In addition, by remaining at large, he can destroy evidence and put pressure on witnesses. According to SHOT, the relatives and friends of the murdered Kovalev are already receiving threats from numerous acquaintances of the Abbasov family and their relatives. On behalf of Shahin’s father, pressure was also exerted on the family of the deceased. As a result, the court sent Abbasov to a pre-trial detention center for two months.

Next was a friend Abbasova Nahid Huseynov. It was he who arrived at the scene of the murder in his BMW and helped his friend escape. At the meeting, he also asked for house arrest, but the court sent him to a pre-trial detention center. He is an accomplice in the case, just like Abbasov’s father. As it turned out, they gave advice on how to escape safely.

Then the court considered the investigation’s request to arrest the young man’s father and uncle, Nizami and Bakhtiyar Abbasov. According to investigators, they actively contributed to the concealment of the crime and persuaded victims to give false testimony. Both were arrested until June 18.

Fictitious wife of the elder Abbasov

In addition to the circumstances of the murder of Kirill Kovalev, investigators are finding out how members of the Abbasov family received Russian citizenship. According to some media , we are talking about a fictitious marriage. In addition, the security forces are figuring out what the Abbasovs were doing and where they got so much cash from at home. Let us remind you that rubles and dollars were found in the family’s apartment in Lublin, a total of 72 million rubles. According to preliminary data, they had a small shoe business: they sold sneakers, boots and other shoes through Wildberries.

66-year-old Nizami Abbasov moved to Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism) about thirty years ago. In Moscow, he immediately found a warm place at a large clothing market, got some money and registered in a Khrushchev-era apartment building near the Novogireevo railway station. Formally, the migrant’s cohabitants were an elderly pensioner and her daughter. Larisa M. The latter changed her last name to Abbasova, but soon returned it to her maiden name. Most likely, this is the same fictitious marriage mentioned in the media, thanks to which Nizami Abbasov received Russian citizenship. At that time, judging by the database, he himself lived not with his wife, but with his fellow countrymen in the private sector near Podolsk.

Larisa M

It can be assumed how Nizami Abbasov met Larisa M. She worked as a buyer for clothing markets and had business connections with Central and Far Asia. The “couple” had common interests. Now she, like her ex-husband, makes money on marketplaces by reselling goods.

How the Abbasov family grew in Moscow

Soon, Nizami Abbasov was joined in the capital by his younger brother, 54-year-old Bakhtiyar Abbasov. In the early 1990s, a relative founded Italmech, a company positioning itself as a representative of Italian fur brands in Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism). The business itself appeared much earlier. Yes, on the no longer working website the company was indicated that it was founded already in 2005. Offline stores were located in large Moscow shopping and entertainment centers.

In 2012, Bakhtiyar formally removed himself from the case. All 100% of Italmekh’s shares were transferred to the general director appointed by him – a certain Sergei Terekhov. Perhaps the Abbasovs continued to receive income. Business social networks were updated until 2019. Six months ago, Terekhov left, new owners appeared – and “Italmekh” changed its name to “Ideal”.

Following his brother Bakhtiyar, Nizami Abbasov’s sons (the eldest Shokrut, the middle Isa and the youngest suspected of murder, Shahin Abbasov), and then distant relatives, joined Nizami Abbasov. Many of them have acquired their own online stores (on social networks or on marketplaces), which sell clothes that are very similar to counterfeits of well-known world brands. Others operate warehouses and stores in clothing markets.

Representatives of the Abbasov family are engaged in trade

At the same time, the Abbasov family acquired mortgaged apartments. Nizami’s on Krasnodarskaya Street in Lublin, Bakhtiyar’s on Myachkovsky Boulevard in the neighboring Maryino district. As Life.ru found out, most family members, as well as dozens of their fellow countrymen, often used the same phone and the same email to register in various Internet services. It is curious that these same contacts were used by the family of the general director of the Moscow representative of the Italian pharmaceutical company Zambon.
