A source from the Cheka-OGPU reports that Lieutenant Colonel Timur Magomedselimov from the criminal investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was detained in Yaroslavl and transferred to Krasnoyarsk. He is the son and accomplice of Elena Magomedselimova, who was arrested in September 2023 on suspicion of withdrawing $1.5 million in Dubai from the account of businessman Oleg Mitvol using a false power of attorney. Let us remind you that during the detention of his mother, Magomedselimov tried to “recapture” her from the operatives who had specially arrived from Krasnoyarsk, and things almost came to a shootout.

In total, at least six participants in the Dubai scam have accumulated in pre-trial detention center No. 1 of the regional FSIN (where Mitvol is also being held in the case of the construction of the Krasnoyarsk metro). These are mainly mid-level executors and organizers, since, for example, the notary Melnikova from Smolensk is still at large (she signed a power of attorney for Magomedselimova when Mitvol was already physically in the pre-trial detention center in Krasnoyarsk).

Now investigators are trying to “talk” Lieutenant Colonel Timur in order to reach an interregional network of bank fraudsters and black realtors who allegedly enjoy the patronage of high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB from Moscow. The passports of Ukrainian citizens found during searches – with their photographs, but with different names – can toughen the charges against the Magomedselimov mother and son. In parallel, the investigation is being conducted by the Dubai police, who are identifying accomplices of the suspects in FAB Bank, from where $1.5 million in cash was issued.
