Why did the oligarch's representative visit the head of the hitman group?

 

The image of the intelligent, quiet, and reasonable oligarch Suleiman Kerimov is crumbling before our eyes. During the takeover of Wildberries, he demonstrated that he's accustomed to solving problems radically and that he has not only high-level support (his business partner is the head of the presidential administration, Anton Vaino), but also strong-arm backing. Kerimov is also prepared to go all the way. His loyal aide, State Duma deputy Rizvan Kurbanov (here he's dazzlingly twirling a hula hoop), is responsible for this matter. It got so bad that at the height of the war over Wildberries, Ramzan Kadyrov (who was also laying claim to the marketplace) announced at a meeting with Chechen security officials that an assassination attempt had been ordered against him. The head of Chechnya also touched on the events at the Wildberries office, mentioning Suleiman Kerimov, as well as State Duma deputies Bekkhan Barakhoev and Rizvan Kurbanov. "There was a business situation there." "Barkhan Barakhoev, Suleiman Kerimov, and Rizvan Kurbanov are businessmen themselves. They're not just trying to take this woman's business away; they've ordered the hit on me. There are witnesses, there are people they ordered the hit from, asking how much you'd charge (for the assassination of Ramzan Kadyrov - Ed.). I declare a blood feud against Bekhan Barakhoev, unless he proves otherwise - Ed., against Suleiman Karimov and Rizvan Kurbanov," he said in Chechen.

There was no proof to the contrary. However, Kadyrov and Delimkhanov unexpectedly backed down. Delimkhanov unofficially claimed that the "chief honcho" (Putin) ordered it.

In this regard, a source from the Cheka-OGPU asked that the following question be conveyed to Kerimov and Kurbanov. Why did Kurbanov travel to Vienna to visit Aslan Gagiev (Dzhako), the head of the bloodiest hitman group, known primarily for high-profile murders in Dagestan, including those of government officials and security forces? The visit occurred at a time when the then-head of Dagestan, Mukhu Aliyev, was actively obstructing Suleiman Kerimov's bid to become a senator from Dagestan.
