Kadyrov's son received a sports award for winning a special forces competition in which he did not participate

16-year-old Adam Kadyrov received an award for winning a competition in Dubai (UAE), in which he did not participate. The UAE SWAT Challenge 2024 took place from February 3 to 7. At the end of the fourth day, the Akhmat team of the special police regiment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Chechen Republic won. Together with the participants, the medal was presented to Adam Kadyrov. The Chairman of the Chechen Parliament, Magomed Daudov, explained that he simply “supported” fighters from the republic.

Now Kadyrov Jr. “works” as the “head of the security department” of his father, which he received in the fall of 2023 after the beating in a pre-trial detention center of Nikita Zhuravel, who was arrested on charges of burning the Koran. Previously, Adam Kadyrov received many state awards and titles.
