Malik Sajdullaev

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Malik Sajdullaev (Малик Мингаевич Сайдуллаев, Saidulayev) Born October 5, 1964, Alhan-Yurt settlement in the Urus-Martan region (Teip Benoj), Sajdullaev is considered one of the richest Chechens in Moscow with a net worth estimated at $500 million US dollars.

He was instrumental in early defection of several Chechen commanders to the Russian side.

On August 27, 2003 while working as the chairman of the Council of Directors of the Open Society Group of the company Milan he was registered by the electoral committee of the Chechen Republic as a presidential candidate.

On September 11 [specify], after Sajdullaev - who is known in criminal circles as "the businessman of FSB" - was defamed by another presidential candidate, the Lubyanka poet Nikolay Pajzullaev, the Supreme Court of the CHR decided to cancel Sajdullaev's registration, clearing the way to the imperial throne in Grozny for pro-Moscow candidate Akhmad Kadyrov, who notoriously dismissed Sajdullaev as 'too weak to rule'.

"Under the present circumstances I think the forthcoming elections to be a farce”, Sajdullaev declared at the briefing in Moscow on September 26 [specify]. – As I helped people in the Chechen Republic so I shall help them henceforth. I think it to be my major debt".

Following Kadyrov's murder, Sajdullaev again attempted to run for president until it was discovered he was using a false Chechen passport. Being denied once again, the presidency was captured by Alu Alkhanov, who was inaugurated amid tight security in October 2004 following the assassination of his predecessor. Sajdullaev has predicted a fast death for current president.
