Journalists learned the new surname of Artur Geremeev

Artur Geremeyev, a defendant in the Boris Nemtsov murder case, whom investigators were unable to find and interrogate, uses a passport in the name of Artur Ulubaev and lives in Russia, according to leaked data.

As reported by "Kavkazsky Uzel", in 2016, Boris Nemtsov's daughter sent a petition to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation to interrogate a number of people from Chechnya in connection with the politician's murder, including Ramzan Kadyrov, Adam Delimkhanov, Ruslan Geremeyev, and Artur Geremeyev. On December 6, 2016, the Moscow District Military Court agreed to question Ruslan Geremeyev and his nephew Artur in the case of the murder of Boris Nemtsov, but both of them failed to appear for the trial. On December 27 of the same year, Ramzan Kadyrov stood up for Ruslan Geremeyev, stating that he was "a thousand percent" sure of his innocence in the murder of Boris Nemtsov.

Boris Nemtsov was shot dead in Moscow on February 27, 2015. On July 13, 2017, a Moscow court found Chechen natives Zaur Dadaev, Anzor Gubashev, Shadid Gubashev, Tamerlan Eskerkhanov, and Khamzat Bakhaev guilty of murder and sentenced them to terms ranging from 11 to 20 years. The case also involves Sever battalion officer Ruslan Geremeyev, his driver, Chechen officer Ruslan Mukhudinov, who is believed to have organized the murder, and Beslan Shavanov, who was killed during his arrest. The person who ordered the murder has not been identified. You can read about the progress of the investigation in the Caucasian Knot report "The Chechen Trace in Nemtsov's Murder".

Artur Geremeyev figured in the Nemtsov murder case as the owner of one of the two apartments in Moscow used to prepare for the crime. Leaks of personal data indicate that Artur Geremeyev changed his last name and patronymic, which is confirmed by information from the Federal Tax Service database.

Geremeyev Artur Akhyadovich took the last name Ulyubayev, which was borne by his father Akhyad Ulyubayev. At the same time, under the new last name, he changed two letters of the patronymic and became Akhyatovich, the publication “Tochka” writes today.

The passport with the new last name was issued to Geremeyev by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Chechnya. The validity of both passports - both the Geremeyev and Ulyubayev - is confirmed by the result of the INN check on the website of the Federal Tax Service. The audit shows that Artur Geremeyev and Artur Ulubayev have the same individual tax number.

The Hummer that Ulubayev drives has often been spotted in Moscow. According to leaks from the FSB border service, he used the same car to travel to Mariupol several times in 2023 - the Russian authorities transferred control over a large metallurgical enterprise located in this city to the Geremeyev family, the BBC Russian Service reported.
