Ramzan Kadyrov threatened blood feud against member of the Federation Council from Dagestan, billionaire Suleiman Kerimov, if he cannot prove that he has nothing to do with the attempt to order the murder of the head of Chechnya. The same threat applies to State Duma deputies from Ingushetia Bekkhan Barakhoev and native of Dagestan Rizvan Kurbanov, Radio Liberty reports.

“There are witnesses, people from whom they ordered [the murder], asked how much you could accept the order for,”– Kadyrov said at a meeting with representatives of Chechen security forces (translated from Chechen by the editorial staff of  Kavkaz.Realii ).

Thus, the head of the republic commented for the first time on the shootout in the Moscow office of the largest Russian marketplace Wildberries on September 18. Kadyrov called this topic an attempt to  pit people against each other over domestic issues  and called for complaints to be made against the  Kadyrovites who participated in the shootout, and to him personally.

In addition, the head of Chechnya said that relatives of one of the two security guards from Ingushetia killed in the Moscow office allegedly declared a blood feud against Kadyrov on social networks. He demanded that they do everything according to tradition, after which, according to him, he will “think about what to do” with these people.

Suleiman Kerimov and Bekkhan Barakhoev have repeatedly appeared among interested parties in the merger of Wildberries with the Russ group of companies, which is engaged in outdoor advertising. The deal was personally approved by Russian President Vladimir Putin. It is unknown what relation MP Rizvan Kurbanov has to this story.

Vladislav Bakalchuk stated that the company was subjected to a corporate raider takeover. Tatyana Bakalchuk, who owned 99 percent of Wildberries, filed for divorce. Back in the summer, Kadyrov supported Bakalchuk in the corporate conflict around Wildberries. He promised to “return his wife to the family,” and Bakalchuk – business.

A shooting in the office of the largest Russian online store occurred on September 18, when the co-founder of the company Vladislav Bakalchuk tried to get into it accompanied by security guards. Two security guards were killed – natives of Ingushetia. 30 people were arrested in connection with the shootout. Vladislav Bakalchuk was detained after the shootout, but was soon released.

His lawyer, a former prosecutor in Chechnya, tried to enter the office with the businessman. Among those arrested were several Chechens, including the deputy commander of the OMON “Akhmat-1” Umar Chichayev.
