Russian mogul who called Ghislaine Maxwell his ‘soulmate’ is found dead in luxe Moscow pad

Iranian doctor recounts horror of January massacre: ‘I still can’t sleep’

A Russian mogul who once called sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell his “soulmate” was found dead in a luxury Moscow apartment Monday, according to reports — just weeks after his name surfaced in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Umar Dzhabrailov, a Chechen businessman and former senator, was discovered lying in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to his head at about 3 a.m., Russian outlet Kommersant reported, citing police sources who called it a suspected suicide.

Police discovered a Luger pistol lying by the 67-year-old’s body. But Dzhabrailov — who had tried to take his life in 2020 — didn’t leave a suicide note, the sources said.

The businessman’s apparent suicide comes after he was among the Russian names that appeared in the Justice Department’s latest Epstein document dump.

Emails show him trying to meet the pedophile’s madam in Moscow in 2001.

“Dear Ghislaine, I’m back from London, planing 2 B in Moscow. Really want 2 C U, but I need 2 know exactly when U arive, cause I want 2 take care of U and arrange welcoming things. Wishing U all the best! Umar,” read the email, dated May 24.

Maxwell responded the following day, writing: “Umar, sorry that we did not come last week. Got side tracked and ended up in France. However we Jeffrey Tom and I are coming next week arriving Fri. Will you be around and can we get together? Let me know. Hope you are well. Ghislaine.”

The extent of their relationship, or how they initially met, wasn’t immediately clear.

However, Dzhabrailov had previously addressed his close relationship with Maxwell after she was convicted of helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls, the East 2 West news agency reported.

“I knew Epstein. I was introduced to him by Ghislaine Maxwell, a soulmate of mine,” he said, according to the agency.

“But I never could have imagined that they were partners, that she was involved in finding those girls who are now all over the media,” he continued.

“I regret that Ghislaine, the most charming woman, got a life sentence.”

Dzhabrailov, who was born in Chechnya, at one point owned the Radisson Slavyanskaya Hotel & Business Center in Moscow and headed up a company that oversaw Russian shopping centers.

He also served as a Federation Council senator for the North Caucasus republic between 2004 and 2009.

Dzhabrailov once ran for president against Vladimir Putin back in 2000 but came in last with just under 0.1% of the votes.
