Initially, a criminal case was opened by the Investigative Committee based on a statement from the common-law wife of a fugitive oligarch. Tatyana Grishanova flew to Moscow after unknown persons took possession of her apartment on Academician Pilyugin Street. The scammers managed to obtain a Russian passport in the woman’s name and sell a home in her name for 24 million rubles. Investigators found out that the scam was carried out by a group of criminals of 6 people. Among them is the head of the police department of one of the Moscow police departments and they have at least 3 similar episodes to their credit. One of the swindlers testified that Khalid Omarov’s brother (in London he changed his name to Vasilios), Nail Omarov, approached them and reported that Tatyana Grishanova was permanently residing in the UK. True, in relation to the latter, the charges were dropped, since it seemed that the scammers themselves took advantage of the tip, allegedly without Omarov’s interest.
On December 30, the Investigation Department of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the South-Western Administrative District received a separate criminal case under the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Fraud” against Nail Omarov. Through inheritance fraud, he almost bypassed his brother’s children and almost took possession of an apartment on Orekhovoy Boulevard in Moscow worth 50 million rubles and 5 companies of the deceased Khalid Omarov. The oligarch’s brother was taken into custody.
