The court sentenced six participants in the shootout at the Wildberries office.

Dzhabraily Umayev, Murad Mazhiyev, Akhmed Magomedkhalilov, and three others have been convicted in the case of the shooting outside the Wildberries office in central Moscow. None of them have been held accountable for the murder of two people during the conflict.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," as of May 18, 2025, of the 23 defendants in the shooting outside the Wildberries office in Moscow, only Andrey Efremov, Umar Chichayev, and Magomed Isayev remain in custody. The rest were either sent to the special military unit or released "due to their non-involvement." In September, blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov* reported that Umar Chichayev had signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense, but he was sent not to the front, but to Chechnya.

Moscow's Presnensky District Court today completed its consideration of the criminal case regarding the conflict near the Wildberries office in the Romanov Dvor business center. Six defendants received varying prison terms, the joint press service of Moscow courts reported on its Telegram channel, without providing further details.

According to investigators, in September 2024, a conflict between a group of men occurred at the entrance to the Wildberries office in the Romanov Dvor business center.

Dzhabraili Umayev and Murad Mazhiyev were sentenced to one year and seven months in a maximum-security penal colony, while Lev Bakhturin, Andrei Efremov, Akhmed Magomedkhalilov, and Maxim Skovorodin received two years and four months in a general-security penal colony. All six were found guilty of hooliganism with the use of a weapon and arbitrary action with the use of violence. Mazhiyev and Magomedkhalilov were also found guilty of damaging property out of hooligan motives, Interfax reported.

The case was heard behind closed doors from December 2025. None of the defendants in the case were held accountable for the murder, as the scope of the charges "significantly changed" by the time the case was submitted to court: the final indictment omitted the murder of Wildberries security guards Adam Almazov and Islambek Elmurziev, although all six defendants were initially accused of involvement in the crime, RTVI reported.

The channel noted that most of the "other original defendants in the case" had signed military contracts by December 2025. Also not charged was Umar Chichaev, the commander of the Akhmat-1 special forces platoon, who was detained with gunshot wounds on the day of the shootout.

Ramzan Kadyrov's Role in the Wildberries Conflict

On October 9, 2024, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, speaking about the Wildberries conflict, mentioned Senator from Dagestan Suleiman Kerimov and State Duma deputies Bekkhan Barakhoev and Rizvan Kurbanov. He called on them to prove their innocence in the order to kill him and warned them of their readiness to declare a blood feud against them. After Kadyrov's words about a blood feud, Kerimov required the protection of the Federal Protective Service; he was hiding in a secret village on Sparrow Hills in Moscow, journalists discovered in November 2025.

The head of Dagestan, Sergey Melikov, after Kadyrov's threats of a blood feud against Suleiman Kerimov, recalled the senator's charitable projects and promised that the republic "will always support him in difficult times." The mayor of Derbent also spoke out in support of Kerimov. Videos recorded in support of Kerimov, including those prepared by public sector employees, were published in a specially created Telegram channel, "For Our Suleiman!"

On November 20, 2024, RIA Novosti published a video in which two men named former State Duma deputy from Dagestan Magomed Gadzhiev* as the author of the assassination attempt on Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. They reported that Gadzhiev* had promised them a large reward. Dagestani journalists suggested that Kadyrov and Kerimov found a way to end the story of the attempted murder by attributing the authorship of the information to former State Duma deputy Magomed Gadzhiev*.

It was only in January 2026 that Ramzan Kadyrov publicly demonstrated the end of his conflict with Senator Suleiman Kerimov from Dagestan, posting a joint photo with him on his Telegram channel. In the photo, Kadyrov and Suleiman Kerimov are shaking hands, smiling broadly. In the caption, Kadyrov called Kerimov his brother.

The reconciliation between Ramzan Kadyrov and Suleiman Kerimov took place in the Kremlin, where Putin invited both, according to Ravil Gainutdin, head of the Russian Muslim Spiritual Directorate. Other sources also mentioned Putin's participation in the reconciliation, calling the event a commercial deal. Kadyrov felt it necessary to respond to these statements, stating that no one summoned him to the Kremlin to make peace with Suleiman Kerimov after the words about blood feud.
