Dmitry Kamenshchik Valery Kogan and Roman Gusarov

Roman Gusarov: Critics characterize the investigations as attempts to force a sale. "There are certain interests that want to get their hands on this very liquid and highly profitable business," said Roman Gusarov, chief editor of aviation portal Avia.ru, according to The Moscow Times. Last year, a Moscow court sentenced Islam and Ilez Yandiyev and Bashir Khamkhoyev to life imprisonment and Akhmed Yevloyev to 10 years in prison for their roles in the 2011 suicide attack in the arrivals hall of Domodedovo Airport in which 37 people were killed and 172 wounded. The purported owners of Domodedovo Airport, Dmitry Kamenshchik and Valery Kogan, will be questioned in connection with new criminal cases launched against former managers Svetlana Trishina, Andrei Danilov and Vyacheslav Nekrasov, Russia Investigative Committee said in a statement. "The actions of the named individuals made the airport more vulnerable," the Investigative Committee said. "As part of the criminal case, the investigation will check information about whether Dmitry Kamenshchik and Valery Kogan are among the real owners of the airport." A lucrative, privately owned business coy about publicly revealing its owners, Domodedovo has faced repeated investigations by law enforcement authorities over the last decade. Investigators have said that the attack was ordered by Islamic militants based in the North Caucasus leading an insurgency against Moscow. Domodedovo experienced raids by Russian security services in the wake of the 2011 attack and was criticized by then-President Dmitry Medvedev for its opaque ownership structure — but the airport remained in private hands and conflict over the issue appeared to have eased in recent years. "Now it is possible it will all flare up again," according to Avia.ru Gusarov. If convicted of negligence, Domodedovo executives Trishina, the former head of Airport Management Company Limited; Danilov, the former head of Domodedovo Airport Airline Security; and Nekrasov, the former head of the airport complex, could each spend up to 10 years behind bars.
