The media write about the attempted raider seizure.
In the afternoon of September 18, a shooting occurred near the Kremlin at the office of the Wildberries marketplace, located in the Romanov Dvor business center, The New Times writes.
The founder of Wildberries, Tatiana Bakalchuk, called the incident in the office of the company where the shooting occurred an "unsuccessful attempt to raid". According to her, a group of people led by her husband Vladislav Bakalchuk, as well as Sergei Anufriev and Vladimir Bakin, tried to seize the Wildberries offices in Moscow.
Vladislav Bakalchuk, in turn, claims that there were "attack attempt" on him and the team when they arrived for negotiations.
"The statement about the alleged negotiations, which the armed group came to, sounds absurd, since no one agreed on any negotiations. ...> We have no secrets. Therefore, I ask you to make public the results of the investigation into the motives of the people who organized this outrage. Now this is a raider seizure. Or rather, an unsuccessful attempt," Bakalchuk reacted on Telegram.
In total, 10 people were injured in the shootout, Ria Novosti reported. TASS wrote about one victim. Telegram channels say that a policeman was injured.
According to the Agency, at least three MMA fighters from the Caucasus were among the victims of the shootout at the Wildberries head office in the Romanov Dvor business center (350 meters from the Kremlin). One of them, Umar Chichaev, is an MMA fighter from Chechnya who lives in Grozny and performs for the Akhmat club founded by Ramzan Kadyrov. Chichaev also served in the Russian Guards in Chechnya. In his social media profile, journalists found photos of Ramzan Kadyrov, Adam Delimkhanov and the former commander of the SOBR Akhmat detachment, now Deputy Chairman of the Government of Chechnya Abuzaid Vismuradov.
The shootout occurred after Kadyrov intervened in the conflict between the founders of the marketplace. The conflict between Vladislav and Tatiana Bakalchuk became known in July, when Vladislav asked the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, for help. He stated that his wife “contacted an incomprehensible company, which under the guise of an association actually capture the business.” Tatiana Bakalchuk filed for divorce soon. The conflict is connected with the merger of Wildberries with a much smaller company — the operator of outdoor advertising Russ. The Agency wrote that the merger was explained by Tatiana Bakalchuk's affair with Russ director Robert Mirzoyan. According to media reports, the deal between Wildberries and Russ was approved by Putin.
