A native of Dagestan who crashed into the hotel doors in "Moscow-City" has been arrested.

The Presnensky District Court of Moscow has remanded 30-year-old Magomed Aliyev in custody until January 9, 2027. The man crashed a rented car into the glass doors of the "Novotel" hotel, knocked down a security guard, and danced the lezginka in the lobby.

Aliyev is being charged with hooliganism. On November 9, he deliberately drove his car into the revolving doors of the hotel in the "Moscow-City" business center several times.

The security did not let Magomed Aliyev into the building, as he was behaving aggressively. After that, he got behind the wheel of the vehicle, crashed into the doors, knocked down a security guard, and then fled, damaging the barrier at the exit. He did all this "to provoke public resonance and oppose himself to society, to demonstrate his superiority and indifference to accepted norms of behavior and morality," RBC reports, citing the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Irina Volk.

The Presnensky District Court of Moscow has arrested Magomed Aliyev until January 9, 2027. A criminal case has been initiated against him under the article on hooliganism (part 2 of article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The sanctions under this article provide for up to 7 years of imprisonment.

On November 9, a video of the incident in the "Moscow-City" business center appeared on social media. The published footage shows the driver moving away from the entrance and then directing the car towards the hotel doors again. At one point, the man got out of the vehicle and began to dance. Judging by his movements, he was performing a dance similar to the lezginka.

Magomed Aliyev had been missing for a week in Ingushetia before the incident. He was returning from the Far East by plane to the republic with a layover in Moscow. However, in the capital, his plans suddenly changed. The man refused the next flight and disappeared without a trace. Unable to contact him, his relatives sought help from the police, reports "Fortanga."

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that on November 17, 2017, six people were injured as a result of a shooting in the "Moscow-City" business center. One of the injured later died. Criminal cases of hooliganism, attempted murder, and illegal arms trafficking were initiated against natives of Dagestan, former world kickboxing champion Magomed Ismailov and Eldar Khamidov. Another participant in the conflict, Said Asadulaev, who hid from the investigation for three years after the incident but was arrested, was charged with hooliganism using weapons.
