At a meeting with the commanders and chiefs of Chechnya's security forces, Kadyrov mentioned Russian oligarch Suleyman Kerimov and State Duma deputies Bekkhan Barakhoyev and Rizvan Kurbanov “in the context of the incident at the Wildberries office.” 

“There was a business situation. Bekkhan Barakhoyev was there, Suleyman Kerimov was there, and Rizvan Kurbanov was there. They have their own business, which they not only took away from their wife. They ordered me to do it,” Kadyrov said.
