There is panic at the Sofia base in St. Petersburg, which has already become famous in criminal chronicles. The 50 kg of pure Ecuadorian cocaine, neatly hidden in pallets of bananas, seized by operatives on September 4, is valued by experts at half a billion rubles. Active work is underway to identify the owner of the valuable cargo. Everything was installed on the sidelines of the base itself a long time ago, because… the company that ordered bananas with “coconut” filling belongs to the largest businessman of the base, Mamedov Elbrus. However, it will not be easy to prosecute him. For several years now, Elbrus has been proudly flying the flag of the informal leader of the Azerbaijani diaspora at the Sofia base and has convinced everyone of his exceptional connections and administrative resource, which has never failed.

We are talking not only about Elbrus’ connections with crime bosses and thieves in law, but first of all about his warm relationship with the most authoritative Azerbaijani in Russia, Ragimov Ilgam, to whom he turns in case of serious problems. Rumor has it that friendship with Ragimov allows Mamedov Elbrus to talk on equal terms with his more eminent Moscow colleague – the owner of the Food City market, God Nissanov.

In particular, the Year of Nissans could not do anything about the construction of a new fruit and vegetable hub by Mamedov Elbrus near St. Petersburg, where Mamedov is now actively luring large businessmen from Food City.

However, knowledgeable people believe that Elbrus’s arrogance can seriously break down, because The Year of Nissans, which Elbrus jokingly calls “Mitsubishev”, has a resource no less. And representatives of the criminal world are unlikely to support Elbrus in the event of an open confrontation with Nissanov. In the near future we will see whether Elbrus really has untouchable status or whether it was all clever PR, designed for a gullible audience of people from the Shishtapa region of Azerbaijan who occupied the Sofia base.
