He was involved in the murder of kingpin Nadir Salifov (Lotu Guli) in 2020 and the assassination attempt on his nephew Magomed Kurbanov in 2023. Elchin had a batch of drugs with him.
The assassination attempt on Lotu Guli’s nephew took place in Istanbul on September 19. When Magomed Kurabov was moving with his two guards, former employees of the Turkish special services, fire was opened on him. One of their guards was killed and another was wounded. Later, the police established that the perpetrator was the killer Khava (in the photo with a beard next to Rufo), Rufo’s customers and Zaur Akhmedov (a relative of thief in law Rovshan Dzhaniev, who is believed to have been killed on the order of Lotu Guli), and one helped killer Elchin. Rufo lived in Moscow, and now in Egypt. Aliyev settled in the UAE. Khava hid in Moscow; on January 2, 2024, an attempt was made on his life in the Moscow region (after which Namik Salifvov, Lotu Guli’s brother, is visible). Elchin remained in Turkey, who was sent under an analogue of the Russian recognizance not to leave.
He did not wait to see how events would develop and decided to move to Azerbaijan. Moreover, not empty-handed, but taking with him 3 kg of amphetamine. While illegally crossing the border, he was detained on the territory of Azerbaijan and is now in a pre-trial detention center.
It is worth noting that at the same time two other henchmen of Rufo were detained – Khan Ganja and Samir, who had 10 kg of Afghan heroin with them. It is believed that Rufo has recently organized the transportation of large quantities of various drugs, primarily heroin, to the Russian Federation. They mostly come with the tomato shipments at Food City.
