The son of the man killed by members of the Ural organized crime group expressed hope for punishment for the perpetrators

The son of businessman Ikram Hajiyev, who was killed by members of the Ural criminal group in Yekaterinburg in 2011, expressed hope that those responsible for his father's death would be punished.

According to him, in 2011, his sister informed him that his father had been shot. The victim underwent two operations, and for four days doctors fought for his life. However, it was not possible to save his father. He added that even after 15 years, he does not understand why someone would want to kill him, because his father was a respected man.

"I'm waiting, watching, and I really want the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation to come and help me. Just let the one who is to blame be punished. <...> I am looking forward to understanding who needed it and why it was necessary," Sakhavat told Izvestia.

In his opinion, after 15 years, justice has prevailed, as the suspects in this contract killing have been arrested.
