Investigators suggest that Telman Ismailov, the former owner of the Cherkizovo marketplace, organized the killing of two entrepreneurs in 2016, when Mekhman Kerimov acted as an actual perpetrator. Telman Ismailov is on the international wanted list and arrested in absentia.

According to the investigators, Telman Ismailov developed a plan of the killing together with his brothers Rafik and Vagif Ismailov. On May 15, 2016, Mekhman Kerimov shot and killed two entrepreneurs on Novorizhskoe Shosse in Moscow.

"The materials to organize the international Interpol search for defendant Telman Ismailov have been sent to the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation," the ICRF's website reports today.
