May they rest in pieces.
The investigation into the deaths of mafia leaders Nadir Salifov, whose
nickname was "Lotu (Kabadayı) Guli", and his rival Rövşen Canıyev,
nicknamed "Hayalet" and "Lenkaranski", has been completed. Details
in the related indictment extend from Russia to Ukraine and Georgia,
from there to Beşiktaş and Antalya, and from there to the graves of the
two leaders.
Salifov's men killed Canıyev in Beşiktaş on 18 August 2016. For
revenge, Canıyev's group sought help from the Istanbul underground
but the killers wanted $5 million to rub out Salifov. Negotiations took
place at a restaurant in Bahçelievler on 2 October 2017, but police
raided the meeting and took the participants into custody.
Nevertheless, Canıyev's men were undaunted and made a new deal
with a Georgian group. But Istanbul police nabbed this group, too.
A bomb attack on Salifov by yet another group hired by Canıyev's
men failed, as well. In any case, Salifov himself was arrested in
Istanbul in November 2018. He was deported but managed to get back
into Turkey with a fake passport.
Violated mafia leader rule No. 1: Never have dinner with
a hitman.
Canıyev's men kept track of Salifov's every step and were able to
insinuate a hitman named Khagan Zeynalov into Salifov's good
graces. Caniyev's men planned to have Zeynalov kill Salifov on the
anniversary of Caniyev death, the night of 18-19 August 2020. The
timing slipped to the next night, when Zeynalov shot Salifov in the
head while the two were having dinner at a hotel in Antalya. Zeylanov
fled but was captured by police in Denizli while en route to Istanbul.
When Canıyev's body was brought back to his native Azerbaijan in
2016, a huge tomb and statue were built in Lenkeran, where he was
born. Four years later, Salifov was buried in Büyükçekmece, Istanbul,
and his family also had a large monument and bust placed at his
grave.
Ahhhh, the good old days...
