According to the investigation, Suleymanov could have "ordered" the shooting of Georgy Tal, the head of the Federal Service for Financial Recovery and Bankruptcy, who was involved in the bankruptcy of Moscow airports. The businessman died in intensive care after the attack.
Earlier, Suleymanov controlled the state airline ticket booking system "Sirena-Travel", and according to media reports, he is the son-in-law of Platon Lebedev, Mikhail Khodorkovsky's former partner in Yukos. Officially, the billionaire owns only a one-room apartment of 35 square meters in the Ochakovo-Matveevskoye district of Moscow.
Suleymanov also has convictions for fraud and money laundering, which makes him a defendant in several high-profile criminal cases in Russia.
