The multi-millionaire businessman Ibragu\u00edm Suleim\u00e1nov, linked to the former Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, was arrested in the city of Moscow on suspicion of ordering a murder, Russian media reported this Friday.<\/p>\n
“Ibragu\u00edm Suleim\u00e1nov has been detained in Moscow. He is suspected of having committed a crime classified under Article 105 of the Russian Criminal Code (murder),” declared a source cited by the TASS agency.<\/p>\n
According to the Kommersant newspaper, this is the murder of Georgy Tal, former director of the Federal Financial Recovery and Bankruptcy Service, in 2004.<\/p>\n
Suleim\u00e1nov, arrested yesterday, was apprehended along with the perpetrator of the crime.<\/p>\n
According to the Shot Telegram channel, he is also being investigated for another murder committed in 1999.<\/p>\n
The businessman was sentenced to ten and a half years in prison in 2004 for money laundering and fraud of more than $4.5 million, for which he was paroled in 2015.<\/p>\n
Along with his brother, Suleim\u00e1nov owned the company Sirena-Travel, an IT services company linked to the passenger transport and tourism sector.<\/p>\n
Through the Leonardo system, a service included in the detainee’s company, 80% of airline tickets in Russia are sold.<\/p>\n
In addition, Suleimanov was the son-in-law of one of the founders of Yukos, Platon Lebedev, a businessman close to the former Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a known adversary of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who served nine years in prison and is now dedicated to political opposition from outside the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
