Kadyrov claims $1,000,000 was funneled to hard boyz to kill his old man
2006-02-22
Chechen Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov Tuesday said $1 million was funneled to Chechen terrorists to assassinate President Akhmad Kadyrov in 2004. Kadyrov told U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour the money was directed to Akhmed Zakayev, who is living in Britain, the Russian information agency Novosti reported. Kadyrov accused Zakayev of financing the attack at Dynamo stadium in Grozny, which left Kadyrov dead.

Kadyrov said in the 1990s businessman Boris Berezovsky gave money to Chechen separatists. "Berezovsky repeatedly met with warlords and offered a financing scheme to them. Berezovsky said to the militant leaders, 'I can't give you money directly, and therefore I suggest that you kidnap Russian civilians and servicemen in Chechnya, then I will pay you millions of dollars under in ransoms for them'," Kadyrov said, Interfax reported. "The militants received millions of dollars under this scheme, with which they bought weapons and ammunition."
