Rustam Dzhambulatov
Details have emerged regarding the reversal of the State Customs Service's decision to strip the Ukrainian citizenship of 37-year-old influential businessman of Chechen origin Rustam Dzhambulatov (whom journalists dubbed the "king of confiscations"), the adoption of which was previously reported on the pages of Detective-Info.
As a reminder, in December 2021, a corresponding order was issued regarding the worthy individual controversially added under No. 642 to the list of so-called criminal elements subject to sanctions. The order annulled his acquisition of Ukrainian citizenship by territorial origin, along with the simultaneous invalidation of his passport bearing Rust's trident, which resembles an ID card. According to court documents, the formal basis for this was a petition from the Darnitsky Regional Office of the Central State Administration of the City Customs Service in Kyiv. The petition alleged that the "king of confiscations" had allegedly provided "deliberately false information in order to acquire Ukrainian citizenship."
Apparently, during the previous saga surrounding the citizenship of Rustam Dzhambulatov (as well as his brother Ruslan) in 2014, the young men cited the decision of the Dubrovytsky District Court of the Rivne Region from April 12, 2000.

The corresponding resolution established the fact that the 64-year-old father of the worthy, Adam Vaikhayovich Dzhambulatov, lived from the beginning of 1991 to May 21, 1993, on the territory of Ukraine in the village of Mochulishchi.

It was on the basis of the "Rivne verdict," which was later "updated" by the OASK decision dated September 5, 2014, that a resolution was issued in the fall of 2014 requiring immigration officials to formalize the acquisition of Ukrainian citizenship by Ruslan and Rustam Dzhambulatov under Article 8 of the Law "On Citizenship of Ukraine." It should be noted that at that time, the authorities recognized the corresponding administrative claim filed by the elder Dzhambulatov's sons.
However, seven years later, the State Customs Service's position has changed dramatically. According to its current interpretation of events, the migration service believes that the 2000 court ruling in favor of Adam Dzhambulatov did not establish his permanent residence in Ukraine prior to August 24, 1991, but only the fact of his residence. Taking into account the bureaucratic snag, the State Customs Service concluded that there were no legal grounds for Rustam Dzhambulatov to acquire Ukrainian citizenship due to his alleged false information.
It's worth noting that Judge Ruslan Arsiriy of the Kyiv District Administrative Court categorically disagreed with the arguments used to deprive the "king of confiscations" of Ukrainian citizenship. The judge argued that revoking Dzhambulatov's trident-emblazoned passport "would create legal grounds for further forced return to his country of origin (i.e., the Russian Federation – editor's note) and/or forced expulsion." It would also result in "a complete change in the lifestyle of the plaintiff's family, who have long lived in Ukraine with their family, are employed, and have stable social ties."
It should be added that in his legal dispute with immigration officials, Rustam Dzhambulatov found the declaration of martial law in Ukraine useful following the start of the Russian army's large-scale military invasion.
The court cited the fact that the "king of confiscations" lacks valid identification documents. On February 14, 2022, at the Boryspil-2 checkpoint of the Kyiv border crossing point, he was denied entry to Ukraine, and his passport with the trident was confiscated as invalid. Taking this into account, the OAC concluded that Dzhambulatov's continued presence "in an uncertain legal status, without any valid identification documents, under martial law, could pose not only a violation of his legal constitutional rights but also a real threat to his life and safety." However, his claim was fully upheld, overturning the decision to deprive Rustam Adamovich of Ukrainian citizenship.
As a reminder, in the summer of 2020, the "king of confiscated goods" found himself at the epicenter of a high-profile showdown in Kyiv with another influential Chechen, Imran Isayev. Initially, a dispute between the two leaders led to a beating and the seizure of Dzhambulatov's Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Subsequently, the conflict between the freedom-loving sons of the Caucasus continued at the Sorbonne restaurant in the center of the Ukrainian capital (for more details, see Detective-Info's article "Chechen Debates at the Olympic Stadium").

Ultimately, the Chechens' dispute was resolved by the word of elders in Dubai, and both of them (Dzhambulatov and Isayev) were included in the sanctions list of the National Security and Defense Council.
