Authorities Evict Chechen Alternative for Germany Party Member Murad Dadaev From His Villa in Hanover Following Investigation by IStories and CORRECTIV
The article established Dadaev’s connections with Kadyrov’s people in Europe
A court bailiff has evicted DMS, the company of Alternative for Germany (AfD) party member Murad Dadaev, from a 19th-century historic mansion in Hanover, Hannoverische Allgemeine Zeitung reports.
The reason for the eviction was nonpayment of rent. Previously, IStories and the German media outlet CORRECTIV reported that Dadaev, a functionary of the far-right AfD with ties among Kadyrov’s people and ultra-nationalists, had effectively seized the villa — ignoring the eviction lawsuit and failing to pay rent. He turned the mansion into a meeting place for the local AfD cell, which is headed by deputy chairman of the party’s Bundestag faction Jörn König.

On the night before the eviction, a fire broke out in the protected historic mansion. Police have not yet commented on the causes of the arson. Previously, local antifascists had thrown paint at the villa several times. Dadaev himself was not in the city — on the night of the arson and just before the eviction, he announced on his Instagram that he had left for Dortmund.
Who is Dadaev. IStories and CORRECTIV discovered that under the name of the AfD member from Hanover, Noah Krieger, is actually 36-year-old Murad Dadaev, a native of Chechnya. In the party, he is promoting an image of a Chechen integrated into German society, while at the same time using ultra-nationalist rhetoric and promoting Kremlin narratives about the need for economic cooperation between Germany and Vladimir Putin.
Kadyrov’s people and far-rightists. Murad’s brother is Suleiman Dadaev. In 2009, he participated in the murder of former Ramzan Kadyrov bodyguard Umar Israilov in Vienna. Israilov had fled to the EU to testify about torture and extrajudicial executions in Chechnya. The investigation concluded that his murder was ordered by Kadyrov. Suleiman Dadaev was sentenced to 19 years in prison in Austria, but for unclear reasons he was released early — in 2022, he flew direct from Vienna to Moscow and later received a passport under a new name, IStories found.
Murad Dadaev claims that he does not communicate with his brother. As Chechen opposition figure Tumso Abdurakhmanov noted, in reality, after his release Suleiman Dadaev has visited his brother’s villa in Hanover. How he was able to enter the EU after his release and deportation remains unknown.

Among the frequent guests at Dadaev’s villa is Said-Magomed Ibragimov. He was a bodyguard for two of Kadyrov’s closest associates, Magomed Daudov and Abuzayed Vismuradov (the current prime minister and deputy prime minister of Chechnya, respectively), and is also included in the network of “official representatives” of Kadyrov in Europe. He has been linked to pro-Kadyrov criminal groups in Germany.
At the same time, Dadaev’s circle includes not only moderate AfD deputies like Jörn König, but also members of the party’s ultra-nationalist wing such as Stephan Brandner and Mischa Fere. Dadaev also claims that he is in contact with Markus Frohnmaier, one of the most fervent Vladimir Putin apologists within the party.
