The Lefortovo District Court of Moscow sentenced 35-year-old Zelimkhan Mazaev, suspected of killing the ex-commander of the Chechen battalion "Vostok" Sulima Yamadayev, to the six years of the colony in the case of robbery (Article 162 of the Criminal Code). The verdict made in the last days of last year said on Monday Rosbalt. Three other defendants in the case - Magomed Ibaev, Mayrbek Madayev and Rustam Nasaev - received five years.
According to the plot of the case, on the night of January 4, 2015 on Melnikova Street near the center of Moscow, convicts attacked two metropolitan residents of 29 and 43 years. Threatening with pistols, the criminals beat Muscovites and selected money and documents from them. After that, they hid in a car with sealed numbers.
The victims turned to the police, and already on January 4, three attackers - Mazaev, Ibaev and Nasaev - were detained on Michurinsky Prospekt in the west of Moscow. In the media, information about the detention and arrest appeared only after more than a month . When Madayev was detained, it is not specified.
Earlier, Mazaev served in Yamadayev in the Vostok battalion, but then he moved to the special forces unit, controlled by the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. According to Rosbalt, Mazaev’s brother still serves in one of the Chechen power structures.
It is known that in the spring of 2009, Mazaev was in the UAE. It is believed that it was he who in March 28, 2009 in Dubai shot Yamadayev from a pistol in the underground parking of the house where the former commander of the East lived. After that, Mazaev returned to Russia and settled in Moscow. The Dubai prosecutor’s office declared him and six more suspects in the international wanted list. However, in January 2013, the criminal prosecution of Mazaev was discontinued on an non-rehabilitating basis: the suspect was forgiven according to the norms of Sharia.
Meanwhile, in Moscow, Mazaev repeatedly became a participant in various incidents. So, in the fall of 2011, he forgot the Stechkin Pistol in the restaurant. The employees of the institution found weapons and handed over to the police. Soon Mazaev with a group of his countrymen appeared in a restaurant and demanded to return the gun. The police had to resolve the conflict. It was reported that Mazaev assured that he had permission to carry weapons, but could not present it.
In February 2012, Kadyrovets was hospitalized at the Institute. Sklifosovsky with a gunshot wound. The metropolitan police claimed that Mazaev himself accidentally shot himself a thigh from a traumatic pistol - when he abruptly stood behind the table in a restaurant, a gun, who was behind his belt, shot. It was noted that the victim has a license to wear traumatic weapons.
In November of the same year, the traffic cops stopped Mazaev at Mercedes with the number of the 95th region (Chechnya) containing the letters Kra. In Chechnya, such numbers are considered "thieves", since these letters there are deciphered as "Kadyrov Ramzan Akhmatovich." In the back seat of the car, the security forces found a portfolio of Mazaev, where the Magnum M combat revolver and the traumatic gun Steyr M-A1 were located; Both were charged.
Mazaev and Adlan Murtazaliev was traveling with him, as they did not introduce the security for weapons. The case was opened under Part 1 of Article 222 of the Criminal Code (illegal turnover of weapons), which provides for the four years of the colony. However, soon the security forces presented permission for a traumatic gun; The guilt for the illegal wearing of the revolver was taken by Murtazaliev. Mazaev was released.
According to one of the sources of Rosbalt, after these scandals, the leadership of Chechnya turned away from Mazaev.
In Dubai, a citizen of Tajikistan Maksujon Ismatov and Iran citizen Mahdi Lorny were convicted in the case of the murder of Yamadayev. In July 2011
