And what kind of mixed marriages do we know among the stars? Marriages between different nationalities - happy Aras Agalarov and his mistresses

The owner of Crocus City and the father of singer Emin is building a business with thieves in law.

A native of Azerbaijan, Aras Agalarov is known for his incredible ability to raise funds for his projects. The more ambitious and large-scale the project, the faster the money is under it - they can come from America, from the Moscow government, or even “out of thin air”. It was this suspicious "air" money that allowed Agalarov to become one of the richest people Russia: In the 2016 Forbes magazine list, he is ranked 55th with a net worth of $1.2 billion. And, of course, as Rucriminal.com believes, it was not without the help of the mafia, or rather a number of thieves in law.

Not a bad result for a former trade union worker who only moved to Moscow from Baku in the late 1980s. Agalarov started modestly - he organized the Shafran cooperative, which was engaged in the export of Russian souvenirs and the import of then fashionable computer equipment. The scope was not very large, but it is not known where the capital for "importing computers" came from. In 1989, the trade unionist Agalarov unexpectedly created the Russian-American joint venture Crocus International. And again, the sources of funding remained somewhere in the shadows.

It is known that free money accumulates in large quantities in the "shadow sector", in other words, in criminal structures. Criminal authorities always face the problem of money laundering. Usually money is "laundered" through their investment in profitable enterprises, criminal funds become liquid assets under the control of "their" people - criminals do not trust outsiders. At the same time, criminal bosses become secret or explicit co-founders of companies, which allows them to relatively legally make a profit and increase "white" capital, fueled by "black" schemes.

The real impetus in the career of Aras Agalarov was the equity participation in the work of the Cherkizovsky market, the criminality of which exceeded all reasonable limits. Cherkizon gave the country more billionaires than the Bolshoi Theater gave ballerinas. A person who successfully passed the harsh school of this flea market acquired such criminal connections that he forever became “respected” in the underworld. Cherkizovsky market became an excellent platform for Agalarov in terms of the initial accumulation of illegal tax-exempt capital and the acquisition of connections.

Already in 1997, Aras Agalarov, who had been selling nesting dolls eight years ago, built the elite Agalarov House complex, located in one of the most fashionable districts of Moscow - the intersection of Bolshaya Gruzinskaya and Klimashkina streets. In 2005, Agalarov became the owner of the Grand furniture center, together with businessmen God Nisanov and Zarakh Iliev. According to rumors, the former chairman of the State Customs Committee, Mikhail Vanin, helped Agalarov to gain control over the largest furniture store in the capital. close friend. Thanks to his acquaintance with the "head of customs", the Azerbaijani businessman significantly expanded his business.

It must be said that not only acquaintances with officials helped Aras Agalarov build his empire. According to Rucriminal.com, he has been friends with thief in law Vagif Suleymanov for many years, who was once an associate of the oldest Russian "authority" Ded Khasan (Aslan Usoyan). In 2013, Ded Khasan was killed by a sniper, and his place was taken by Shakro Molodoy (Zakhary Kalashov), who brought Suleimanov closer to him. Therefore, when God Nisanov and Zarakh Iliev created the Food City agricultural cluster and they had a problem with wholesalers, they turned to Agalarov. By the way, this largest agricultural market was presented in 2014 with the participation of the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin.

The problem was that the trading mafia (mainly Azerbaijanis) was dispersed in different markets of Moscow and the Moscow region, the merchants worked under different "roofs" and were not going to move to Food City. It turned out that huge areas would be idle and would not bring profit. Nisanov and Iliev, through Agalarov, turned to Vagif Suleimanov for help, and he shared the problem with Shakro Molody. Since the Food City project promised to bring constant huge profits to the two thieves in law, Shakro gave the green light and the wholesalers moved to Food City in an organized manner. All problems with the Azerbaijani "authorities" were resolved peacefully.

But criminal squabbles did not always end in "peace" - in April 2006, one of the Azerbaijani criminal leaders, the well-known "thief in law" Ikmet Mukhtarov, was killed in Moscow. According to investigators, the murder occurred due to the redistribution of control over income from several major markets and shopping malls in Moscow. This war has allegedly been waged by several Chechen and Azerbaijani criminal clans for a long time. During the investigation, it was established that, according to the documents, the Mercedes car, in the cabin of which Mukhtarov was killed, belonged to one of the co-founders of the Crocus International holding, Rail Zeynalov. This holding includes Tvoy Dom hypermarkets, the Crocus City Mall shopping center, an exhibition complex, Crocus Moscow luxury fashion and footwear boutiques - the entire empire of Aras Agalarov. It turns out that the murdered thief was driving around in the car of the founder of Crocus International.

Such “accidents” clearly demonstrate the connections of business with the underworld, when personal acquaintances are supported by cash flows and financial obligations. Behind many representatives of legal business are "shadow" patrons and secret sources of criminal financing.

Ani and Aras Iskenderovich

According to rumors, Emin's father settled the singer, who fell into disfavor in Ukraine, in his elite village near Moscow

The other day, rumors spread on the Internet about the pregnancy of 38-year-old Ukrainian singer Karolina KUYOK, better known under the stage name Ani LORAK. The reason for such conclusions was one of her photos on Instagram, in which fans saw her rounded belly. The most interesting thing is that in this photo the singer was gently hugged by the not-legal husband and father of her daughter Sofia - Turkish businessman Murat with the unpronounceable surname NALCHAJIOGLU, and the Azerbaijani billionaire Aras AGALAROV - the owner of the Moscow concert hall "Crocus City Hall" and the father of the singer Emin, her partner duets "Call me" and "I can't say".

Thank you for a wonderful evening dear @agalarovaras! - signed under the photo of Ani Lorak. - Again, happy birthday! Health! Let dreams come true!

I think they have already come true for him, - one of the fans sarcastically commented, apparently hinting at the possible closeness of the oligarch with the beloved singer.

What was our surprise when, in a private conversation with us, one respected producer, whose name we, for obvious reasons, cannot name, mentioned that Agalarov Sr. and Karolina Kuyok really had a close relationship.

Since the new Ukrainian ow Asti does not particularly favor her, her main creative activity V Lately takes place in Russia, - our interlocutor explained. - The Turkish husband comes here only occasionally. And Aras Agalarov provides the necessary support to Karolina. She pays for recording songs and shooting videos with her son Emin. And even provides her with housing in his elite village "Agalarov Estate" on Novorizhskoye Highway. It was there that Carolina celebrated her daughter's birthday this year. There she gave interviews and posed for photographers for fashion magazines. Rumor has it that she does not use Agalarov's favor for her beautiful eyes and is almost his mistress.

To tell the truth, we couldn't believe our ears. Aras Iskenderovich lived for many years with his wife Irina, the mother of his son Emin and daughter Sheila, and was considered an exemplary family man. Maybe the gossips went too far, attributing to him a relationship with a young singer?

Rumors about Ani Lorak's pregnancy are nonsense, nonsense and complete garbage! - PR director Mikhail Uspensky assured her. - And as for a joint photo with Agalarov ... Well, what kind of relationship can they have ?! It's just that she performs every year with him at the Crocus City Hall. And he invited her to his birthday party. Philip Kirkorov, Stas Mikhailov, and many others were also present there. And everyone, one by one, took pictures with Agalarov. Is it true that Ani Lorak lives in his Agalarov Estate village? - here the PR man suddenly hesitated. - In general, we do not tell anyone the place of residence of our artist. For everyone, she lives on stage. Sorry, I can't talk to you anymore. We are starting a concert, - and hastily turned off the conversation.

Loved married people

The first man of Carolina Kuyok was the producer Yury Falyosa, who promoted her. At the time of meeting him, the future star was barely 13 years old. And her chosen one was already married and had two children. But the girl, rushing to the stage, was not embarrassed.

Officially, Carolina never became my wife, ”Yuri admitted in an interview with Express Gazeta. - We were so absorbed in the work that we did not have time to sign. Yes, and there was no special desire. Still, the age difference of 17 years is a lot. While we went on tour for six months, my wife Olya also started dating someone else ...

Carolina's long-term relationship with the producer suddenly destroyed an acquaintance with another married man- Dynamo Kyiv footballer Sergei Rebrov. He was only 4 years old older than the singer. And they began a stormy romance.

I don’t know what happened to Carolina and this guy, but they completely blew off the roof, ”Thalesa said. - I could not even imagine that she was able to cancel the concert for the sake of meeting her beloved, that she could, without telling anyone, get on a plane and fly to him. Maybe I'm a big pig, but then I met with the opponent's wife and did everything possible so that the football player's family did not fall apart ...

Well, then Lorak, which has already become famous singer, while relaxing in the Belek resort, she met her current husband Murat. It happened 10 years ago.

But before the couple had time to give birth to a daughter, Sophia, and celebrate a wooden wedding (5th anniversary of marriage), rumors spread that not everything was going smoothly in their relationship.

Ani Lorak begins to learn everything about male treachery, - wrote in " Komsomolskaya Pravda» back in 2011 famous music journalist Otar Kushanashvili. - Her marriage to the Turk Murat is bursting at the seams; the beautiful tale that he was a businessman, a gigolo gigolo, a classic type did not stand the test; marriage on the way to disaster...

They are loved and hated, some condemn them, while others envy them. However, they are always in the spotlight, and it is interesting for everyone to watch their life.

early years

The Agalarov couple lived quite modestly, but always tried to provide children with everything necessary - from parental warmth to material wealth. Emin himself has strictly adhered to this position since he had children.

In 1983, the Agalarov family moved to another capital - Moscow, choosing not the quietest area for living - Chertanovo. Here Amin began to go to the district general education school, where he got into a dysfunctional company. Sensing something was wrong in time, the father, based on his life experience, decided to protect his son from bad influence and sent him to study in Switzerland.

Emin - Forget You (2015)

Closed private boarding school with its strictest discipline assumed the formation of firmness of character. Until his 15th birthday, the boy grew up according to the army routine. But even in this situation, the congenital streak of a businessman did not let him sleep peacefully. He arranged card tournaments with classmates for money, thus earning for small personal needs.

Business and Crocus Group

Being engaged in the formation of his personality through the work of an ordinary seller, Emin became more and more aware of his father's affairs and in 2012, upon his return to Moscow, the Agalarov tandem in the person of father and son earned its full potential.

Now their development company Crocus Group, founded in 1989, specializes in the construction and operation of exhibition and trading plan under the leadership of the first vice-president Emin Agalarov and the owner Araz Agalarov. Agalarov's holding owns several residential complexes, the grandiose trade and exhibition complex Crocus City and even the Myakinino metro station.

Musical career of Emin Agalarov

One of Emin's first performance "trials" took place at the age of 18 on the American show "Open Mic Night". Then there were performances in bars, it would seem, "for themselves." However, even then, having felt a strong adrenaline rush from going on stage, the one who in just a few years would gather a large horde of fans at solo concerts decided that he was not going to retreat from his beloved work.

Emin - On the edge

With a busy work schedule, it would seem that there is no time left for hobbies and rest. However, Emin's perseverance and painstaking work marked 2006 with the release of his first album called "Still". Further, a whole series of discs will see the light: "Incredible", "Obsession", "Devotion".

2012 was a landmark year for the star, performing under the pseudonym Emin - this is the nomination "Discovery of the Year" at the international Grammy Award, and the performance at Eurovision as a guest star from her native country.

In the same year - the release of the solo album "After The Thunder" with the feasible participation of producer Brian Rowling and teamwork on the same platform with pop diva Jennifer Lopez.

2013 - a significant performance at the Miss Universe contest. This already productive period ended with a very important event for fans of his work - the release of the first Russian-language album "On the Edge" with 14 tracks in the track list.

2014 has just come into its own, and this worker has already presented to the audience the second album in Russian. Several duets with the masters of the domestic pop scene entered "Nachistota": Grigory Leps, Stas Mikhailov, Soso Pavliashvili and Ani Lorak considered it an honor to record with the talent gaining popularity.

Emin and Ani Lorak - I can't say

In the same year, the sensational hit “I live best of all” won the Golden Gramophone. But Emin had no time to rest on his laurels - he went on tour big cities Russia. In 2015, the singer's creative research resulted in two more discs - "8 in the Fall" and "More Amor".

European and Russian chats quite often open their first steps for the hits of the singer Emin, and tickets for his concerts are sold in innumerable copies. Such a bright, stubbornly burning star at all costs is hard not to notice in the sky of show business. But at the beginning creative way critics did not like Emin at all. “Just sing, sing for your own pleasure,” the artist seemed to justify himself then.

Emin Agalarov's personal life

"Sea of ​​Revelations": exclusive interview Emina Agalarova

Leyla Aliyeva, an Azerbaijani beauty, captivated Emin so deeply that the plan to win her heart, in his opinion, had to strictly follow the traditions of her people. Emin asked her father's permission before simply proceeding to court the girl.

It was decided to celebrate this event not with one, but with two magnificent weddings - in Baku and in Moscow. Emin and Leyla were congratulated on their marriage by many significant personalities, including Vladimir Putin and George W. Bush.

Two years later, the happy couple was at least twice as happy. After all, two charming twin babies were born at once - Mikail and Ali. After this event, some discord began in Emin's family, and the reason for this was the cold in relations with his wife, followed by a departure: he went to Moscow, she and her children went to London.

Emin tried to spend every weekend with his family, but time took its toll. Not wanting to imitate the outwardly prosperous family life, May 30, 2015, Emin and Leyla on their pages in social networks published a confession about the breakup in three languages ​​at once. "We remain friends" - that was the final verdict of this couple.

Nothing really changed in the life of Emin's sons after the breakup of their parents. Just as Araz and Irina once did, Emin and Leyla set the well-being of their children as the goal of their lives. Moreover, even after the breakup, Emin is happy to communicate with Leyla's adopted daughter, Amina Aliyeva.
