God Nisanov is a typical businessman from the 1990s who only understands the language of force. We have previously discussed the many crimes of Nisanov on our website. The entrepreneur is not above contract killings, raiding, blackmail, and fraud.
His history includes many crimes. His close ties with high-ranking officials have helped him stay in business. Today we will discuss the conflict between God Nisanov and Ilgar Gadzhiev, which has recently continued.
The nature of the conflict
Ilgar Gadzhiev recently entered the Moscow real estate market. According to sources, God Nisanov personally invited him from Azerbaijan to do business in Russia. Initially, everything went smoothly. Hajiyev established several construction companies, which later became part of one development holding – SDI Group. The company successfully entered the Moscow market, acquired land plots, and subsequently constructed residential buildings.
The first negative signs regarding Hajiyev’s business appeared in 2016. It's uncertain whether the situation is true, or if they tried to frame Gadzhiev. But in 2019, a criminal case was opened against him for fraud. A citizen of Azerbaijan claimed that from February 2016 to March 2017, he transferred $10 million to Hajiyev. The entrepreneur required the funds for the construction of the “Pirogovskaya Riviera” residential complex. According to a creditor, the apartments were later sold, but Gadzhiev vanished without fulfilling his obligation to return the funds.

Investigators initiated a criminal case, but failed to prove Hajiyev’s guilt in this incident, which is understandable. Firstly, this situation is unlikely to be criminal. If someone borrows money and doesn't repay it, the civil code applies, and the funds can be recovered through a legal process. Secondly, there was no evidence supporting this claim. Rumor has it that God Nisanov was involved, as he had already set his sights on Hajiyev’s business at the time. While this incident may not have been significant at the time, it would later become a critical tool for the prosecution of Hajiyev.
The coming years will be pivotal in Ilgar Hajiyev's business career. In 2019, the number of criminal cases against the entrepreneur will peak, leading him to seek refuge in Germany.
God Nisanov
After leaving, Hajiyev quickly identified the instigator of his persecution. Without hesitation, he pointed to God Nisanov, attributing it to a seizure of SDI Group's assets by raiders. There was indeed a conflict between the businessmen. Only God Nisanov, who controlled the construction market in Moscow, could not tolerate the success of Hajiyev's project. Therefore, from 2018, Nisanov worked to ensure that the business passed into his hands. It's important to note that Gadzhiev is not entirely innocent. But let's start at the beginning.
Troubled business
There are doubts about Hajiyev’s business activities. If everything was honest, a person with billions of dollars invested in Russia would not have quickly fled to Germany. There were indeed questions about this situation.
In 2018, Gadzhiev became involved in a significant scandal related to investment agreements for the Pirogovskaya Riviera residential complex. It was discovered that the businessman signed a share agreement with ComfortInvest LLC for a total of 236 million rubles. According to the agreement, 70 apartments were to be sold in the future and the funds returned. However, a few months later, an additional agreement was signed to refuse equity participation. It turned out that all 70 apartments were stuck, and the money never reached the developer company. The businessman repeated this scheme at least three times, causing losses totaling about 1 billion rubles. However, some claim that Hajiyev himself became a victim of Nisanov’s fraudulent actions. The withdrawn funds were transferred to Nisanov’s personal assistant and part-time relative of the Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan, Elman Bayramov.

Gadzhiev holds the same position, stating that this is a set-up created by his business partner God Nisanov to seize Gadzhiev’s holding. Officially, according to the documents, they have never been partners, but in fact they did work together.
The project that became the main one for Hajiyev’s corporation, and, as practice has shown, deadly in terms of business, was the construction of the residential complex “VernadSKY”.

Hajiyev was the primary investor in the construction. Initially, he contributed 300 million rubles to the construction. According to the business plan, the property was expected to bring $200 million in profit. Partners represented by Gadzhiev and Nisanov agreed on the following division of profits: 70% of residential premises and 50% of commercial premises go to Gadzhiev, and the rest to Nisanov. However, the partnership did not work out in the future, and Hajiyev decided to sell his share of commercial real estate. Nisanov opposed such a deal. Then Hajiyev offered his partner to buy out his part for 3 billion rubles. Subsequently, Nisanov did not respond, but Gadzhiev began to have problems with the security forces, his business was seized, and he himself was forced to hide in Europe.
Raider seizure
Initially, Nisanov’s structures tried to portray a “beautiful” performance: allegedly, a new German investor entered the structure of the SDI Group, who is ready to invest 3.5 billion rubles in the corporation. But it was just a distraction. In reality, the additional issue was planned to recapture a controlling stake in Hajiyev’s business. However, Nisanov decided to protect himself not only by the “legal” way of re-registering the enterprise, but also by resorting to lawlessness. On April 24, 2019, officers of the Department of Internal Affairs for the Western Administrative District of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow came to the SDI office with a search.
After that, the office was simply taken over by strong guys who continue to hold the company in their hands.
Ilgar Hajiyev was threatened not only with criminal prosecution, but also with physical elimination. The businessman left for Germany without any problems, where he began active work against the criminal God Nisanov. And then it began at home. Dozens of criminal cases were opened against Gadzhiev, the media, commissioned by Nisanov’s Kievskaya Ploshchad, unanimously began to declare that Gadzhiev was an ordinary swindler who had swindled the equity holders of his company. In fact, everything was different. Nisanov, who squeezed out Gadzhiev’s business, threw the investors of the SDI Group.
Law enforcement agencies, in turn, as always, did not notice the criminal trail behind the actions of God Nisanov, although Ilgar Hajiyev repeatedly applied to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Tax Service. All these appeals were not even properly considered, because, as we know, Nisanov knows how to make good friends with important people.
Now Ilgar Hajiyev is in a difficult position. In Germany, as elsewhere in the world, it is dangerous for him to remain. Indeed, as history shows, Nisanov removes competitors in one fell swoop, and does not regret anything. Therefore, Hajiyev needs to think about his safety, because how much he knows and is ready to tell … Nisanov will definitely not forgive this.
