Former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Dagestan Loses Apartments and Cars Worth Half a Billion Rubles

A Moscow court has confiscated property worth 533 million rubles from former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Dagestan Rufat Ismailov following a lawsuit filed by the Prosecutor General's Office.

The total value of his assets is several times greater than his official income for 2010-2022 (19.6 million rubles) and his wife's income (3.3 million rubles).

According to the Prosecutor's Office, Ismailov owns (through affiliated entities) eight plots of land, five properties in Derbent and Makhachkala, an apartment in Moscow, and six foreign-made cars.

In 2023, Rufat Ismailov was accused of accepting two bribes totaling 1.3 million rubles. His deputy, Dalgat Abdulgapurov, investigator Abdul Abakarov, and two businessmen are also charged in the criminal case. Ismailov denies his guilt and says there is insufficient evidence in the case; he is under arrest.
