11:34 AM 12/5/2017 – Investigative Committee asks for Interpol arrest warrant for Telman Ismailov

The former owner of the Moscow Cherkizovsky market is accused in absentia of arranging two murders.

The Central Directorate of the Investigative Committee for Major Investigations has issued a decree charging Telman Ismailov with arrangement of murders. The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation is to get all the materials needed to issue an Interpol arrest warrant for Telman Ismailov.

The former owner of Cherkizon is charged with two murders and illegal arms trafficking.

“According to the investigation, Telman Ismailov orchestrated the murders of two businessmen: Vladimir Savkin and Yuri Brylev,” the Investigative Committee reported.

The investigators also noted that Telman Ismailov developed the contract killings scheme together with his brothers Rafik and Vagif Ismailov.

Mehman Karimov is believed to have perpetrated the contract killings and he is already in custody. According to investigators, on May 15, 2016, Karimov committed a double murder on the Novorizhskoe Highway in the Moscow region. His victims were the owner of a few malls Vladimir Savkin and the founder of Lublino Motors Yuri Brylev. After that, Rafik Ismailov, following their plan, picked the killer up and took him away. Rafik Ismailov was subsequently detained, too, and is now in custody.

Telman Ismailov and his other brother Vagif Ismailov are on the run. They were convicted to custody in absentia in late October, and Telman Ismailov was put on the international wanted list on November 13. Telman is going to be put on the Interpol wanted list as soon as the papers are ready.

Earlier Telman Ismailov reportedly asked for political asylum in France. The runaway oligarch backed his request saying he had some compromising materials about all the acting chiefs of all the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation. So if France grants him asylum after all, Ismailov promises to disclose all the dirt he allegedly has to the foreign country.

According to CrimeRussia sources, Ismailov had moved from Turkey to France as the Turkish law enforcement agencies also questioned his credibility. The sources said that Ismailov could have been involved in the murder of thief in law Rovshan Lenkoransky in Istanbul.

The total amount of cash imported by the Senator varies from 500 million to 750 million euros.

Public prosecutor of Nice Jean-Michel Pretre, seeking the arrest of Russian Senator Suleyman Kerimov, said that he smuggled cash in suitcases (20 million euros in each). In addition, part of the funds was transferred to bank accounts. All the money, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, was in store for laundering by buying real estate and registering it for formal owners. At the same time, in order to avoid large taxes, the purchased villas were declared at a lower cost. For example, one of the villas was purchased for 37 million euros, whereas its former owners put it for sale for 150 million euros. As a result, the Prosecutor’s Office believes, tens of millions of euros in cash and up to 5 million euros of commissions were added to the cost of the villa.

Previously, France 3 reported that Kerimov was accused of underpayment of taxes amounting to 400 million euros. And the total amount of illegally imported money varies, according to preliminary data, between 500 million and 750 million euros.

Recall, Russian oligarch and Senator from Dagestan Suleyman Kerimov was detained on suspicion of laundering money received as a result of tax fraud in France on November 20. Two days later, the oligarch was released on bail of 5 million euros. At the same time Kerimov has been banned from leaving the Maritime Alps until the investigation is completed. In addition, he had to pass a Russian passport and appear in the police dept every Friday. The Russian billionaire is suspected of buying expensive villas on the French Riviera, registered with a frontman, at a reduced price.

Earlier, Russian businessmen and artists signed a letter in support of Suleyman Kerimov. A letter addressed to French President Emmanuel Macron was sent to the French embassy in Moscow. 13 Russian knights of the Legion of Honor, the highest award of France, signed it. Businessman Mikhail Prokhorov, his sister, publisher Irina Prokhorova, Head of Sberbank German Gref, directors Pavel Lungin and Andrey Konchalovsky, former General Director of the Bolshoi Theater Anatoly Iksanov, former President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Yury Osipov, sculptor Zurab Tsereteli, conductor Valery Gergiev, conductor Yury Bashmet, art critic Olga Sviblova, writer Victor Erofeev and deputy, polar explorer Artur Chilingarov subscribed their names to it.

The signatories hope that the French side will treat the member of the Federation Council with “humanity and humanism, so that his life is not endangered, so that he is allowed to return to the medical help necessary to maintain his life.” They remind that Kerimov suffered in a car accident in 2006 and now “his life is supported by a team of doctors, who provide him with a permanent complex treatment.” Knights ask the French President to release Kerimov for the sake of friendship between countries and for humanitarian reasons.

Donald Trump’s personal bank details have been handed over to special counsel Robert Mueller.

The prosecutor issued a subpoena to Deutsche Bank AG in a bid to unearth its relationship with the president and his family as part of the ongoing investigation into Russian meddling with the 2016 election.

It comes after calls from Democratic law makers to provide more information on the $300 million Trump owed the bank for previous real estate deals, reports Bloomberg.

Mueller has so far indicted four people: Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, his associate Rick Gates, Trump’s ex-adviser George Papadopoulos, and — last week — Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Flynn pleaded guilty to making multiple false statements to the FBI about making contact with Russian officials before taking officer in February this year.

Damagingly, he claims he was instructed to do so by a senior official in the Trump administration. This person is believed to be Jared Kushner.

Elephant has leg broken by humans to show it who’s boss after mating seasonFurthermore, it is thought Flynn entered into a plea agreement in which he must now fully cooperate with Mueller’s investigation. It basically means he might be about to throw Trump under the bus.

The reality of these charges throws much doubt on Trump’s theory that Russia meddling is nothing more than Democratic drama peddled by anti-Trumpers after he won the election.

And — more concerning for Trump — it gives greater weight to the chances of impeachment.

Any president can be impeached if they’re convicted of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

If a clear link is found between Trump and collusion with Russia, he could be in breach of one or more parts of the constitution and, ultimately, get impeached.

The Democrats have been warned to hold off on pushing impeachment articles against Trump for now in case Mueller’s investigation finds a smoking gun.
