From Yaponchik to the Antiquary to a crime boss’s funeral: Alisultan Nadirbegov, organizer of the assassination attempt on Deputy Alexander Petrov

Previously unpublished footage from the funeral of notorious "thief in law" Vyacheslav Ivankov, better known as Yaponchik, has appeared online. Osman Kadiev, Chairman of the International Public Chamber, and Alisultan Nadirbegov spent the full ceremony at the coffin.

Alisultan Nadirbegov was among the pallbearers. Nadirbegov was recently arrested along with Ilya Traber (Antikvar) on suspicion of murdering MP Alexander Petrov. According to our sources, Nadirbegov was responsible for all security operations under Yaponchik.

After his boss was killed by a sniper, he transferred to the brigade of "authority boss" Abakar Darbishev. He became responsible for law enforcement operations. He also carried out assignments for Traber, who was friends with Darbishev. Antiquarian had his own man, Vladimir Danilenko, who carried out law enforcement assignments. But in certain cases, he enlisted Darbishev’s men. This is what happened with Petrov’s murder. It was Nadirbegov who organized surveillance of the deputy, brought the assassin to St. Petersburg, and so on. Incidentally, Petrov was also killed by a sniper.
