This was written by the New Gazeta Europe, who studied the video of the incident. The first shots from traumatic weapons were made by the representative of the Wildberries security, it was a native of Ingushetia, notes the publication with reference to a source in the Moscow Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Conflict due to Wildberries

Between Tatyana and Vladislav Bakalchuk is a divorce proceedings. It became known about him shortly after Wildberries and the RUS outdoor outdoor advertising operator announced plans to unite with the goal of creating a digital trading platform. Bakalchuk claimed that his wife “contacted an incomprehensible company that squeezes a business under the guise of unification”, as a result, he turned to the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, who stated that he would “do everything possible to help return Tatyana Bakalchuk. He instructed his ally, State Duma deputy Adam Delimkhanov to deal with this issue. Bakalchuk herself said that it was not about raider seizure, but about divorce and that “from the very beginning everything was agreed” with her husband. She also said that her husband has one percent of Wildberries shares and he does not take part in the management of the company.

According to New, shortly before shooting at the business center, the Ingush Chop was attracted to the Wildberries protection. Such a decision was made by the new leadership of the marketplace, to which, according to journalists, the State Duma deputy from Ingushetia, Bekhan Barakhoev, who previously held the position of vice president of Vera-Olympus (subsidiary of the RUSS Outdoor, which united with Wildberries) is related. The publication claims that in the new security of the company, immigrants from Ingushetia close to Barakhoev were involved.

On September 24, the State Duma deputy from Chechnya Adam Delimkhanov met with the delegation of the Ingush elders. This meeting was reported by the Grozny CHGTRK, its participants said in the Chechen and Ingush languages. The retelling of the conversation published the telegram channel "Caution, News." According to Delimkhanov, the current employees of the Chechen law enforcement agencies shot from military weapons, writes Novaya. In addition, Delimkhanov accused Barakhoev in the conflict during the meeting. According to his version, the deputy attracted his people to the Wildberries protection and did not withdraw them, despite the ultimatum nominated by the Chechen side to him.

As the “new” recalls, in the conflict at the office from the side of Bakalchuk, the fighter of MMA Umar Chichaev from Grozny participated. At a meeting in the Basmanny Court of Moscow, to choose a preventive measure, Chichaev told reporters that he was the “deputy commander” in the Akhmat regiment. According to the “New”, Delimkhanov “takes care of” Chichaev from childhood and treats him as a native son. The deputy actively contributed to Chichaev’s sports career, and then arranged him in his personal guard. Formally, Umar Chichaev is listed as an employee of the Chechen Russian Guard. According to the sources of Novaya, Chichaev was injured as a result of a shot from a traumatic pistol and in response opened the shooting from Stechkin’s fighting pistol.

According to Novye, the Chechen security officials managed and provoked anas Elmurzaev’s conflict situation - Bakalchuk’s lawyer and former prosecutor of the Silkovsky district of Chechnya. Journalists argue that Elmurzaev is part of the group of "lawyers-residents", which works for Delimkhanov. Their "head office" is located in the Moscow "president-hotel".

As a result of shooting, the Wildberries office killed two Wildberries guards. The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under several articles, including murder, attempted murder, illegal storage of firearms, and a law enforcement officer for a life. Among the suspects in the case, Vladislav Bakalchuk was detained. The case was referred to the central apparatus of the UK, after which Bakalchuk was released. The source of the “New” in the FSB Office for Chechnya believes that the head of the Republic Ramzan Kadyrov “has no direct resource to quickly influence” the head of the UK, Alexander Bastrykin. The decision on a change in the investigation was made in the presidential administration, the source believes.

The interlocutor of Novye suggested that the Chechen security officials, who opened the shooting and killed two Ingush guards, "are unlikely to allow him to move away through a contract with the Ministry of Defense and a trip to the war in Ukraine." “Bakalchuk, who was released after a 48-hour detention without charges, is not the main goal of the investigation. Formally, it is impossible for him to be charged with the murder, or even an accusation of organizing an attack on the Wildberries office in the Romanov Courtyard. There, the people of Delimkhanov refuel there, ”the source says.

"New" calls Delimkhanov’s meeting with the Ingush elders an attempt to "resolve the issue of blood feud for the death of two Ingush guards." On it, journalists write, Delimkhanov listed the names of those whom he warned that the Chechens were engaged in the work of Wildberries on the personal assignment of Kadyrov, and the head of the republic allegedly agreed on Bakalchuk’s protection “at the highest level of the country's leadership”. This, according to Delimkhanov, is Robert Mirzoyan and his brother Levan, billionaire and senator Suleiman Kerimov, Bekhan Barakhoev and former State Duma deputy Alikhan Kharsiev, the executive director of the Russian.
