5 years in
prison for a Chechen who stung the bottom of an Albanian mafiosi!
Jacqueline de Croÿ - 19-05-2011
Alikhan Dadaev is one of those political refugees from Chechnya, admired
for his phenomenal strength, his culture and wisdom. He was sentenced
to 5 years in prison for having stung the bottom of an Albanian mafiosi,
though the stinging exhibit has disappeared from the file.
Alikhan was celebrating his 30th anniversary with a friend on July 4,
2009, close to his home at the "Harry's Place" in Ostend. The
bar-owner is Drekai, a 32 years-old Albanian, who was sentenced eight
times to prison, including for rape. The Albanian has never integrated,
say the Chechens: he does not even speak Flemish. We do.
Alikhan was chocked by a fight between Jamie, a 26 years-old Belgian
woman, who was refusing Drakai a prostitution "job". "Nobody
will touch this woman if she does not want," said the chivalrous
Chechen. Furious, Drekai jumped with a knife. Alikhan barred his heart
with his arm, which was deeply cut, but it spared him a deadly wound.
The noise woke Khamzat, the little brother of Alikhan, who saw sliced
arm by his bedroom window, called the police and rushed to rescue him.
He could hardly believe his ears when a policeman told an Albanians not
hesitate to call them "if the Chechens were doing troubles."
Alikhan was taken to the hospital to suture his arm. Khamzat called the
Chechen community to find a solution and protect Alikhan from the Albanians,
until his wound was healed. They asked Jamie to file a complaint. She
replied that it was more dangerous to come into a police station than
to keep silent, because the police let the Albanian free of doing reprisals.
The prosecutor indeed refuted the need to request the enforcement of the
law for pandering and attempted murder.
Drekai has reopened his bar the next day as if nothing had happened.
Two days later, on June 6th, he pretended to want to make peace with Alikhan,
but scarcely had he turned around the corner, he shot him in the kidneys.
Khamzat, just 18-years old, saw him aim at the heart of his brother and
projected himself to serve as human shield. The second bullet scheduled
to reach the heart of Alikhan injured the leg Khamzat.
Five Albanians came out of "Harry's Place", all armed. The
Chechens have disarmed one of them with bare hands, before the arrival
of the police and ambulances. The police recorded the Albanian weapon.
They searched the Chechens, to see that none were armed, but they refused
to search the Albanian, to seize the weapons they had hidden in their
jackets. The prosecutor has requested the application of the law for the
attempted murders against Alikhan and Khamzat, but not for the illegal
carrying of weapons by the Albanian Mafia.
The burgomaster of Ostend has closed "Harry's Place" for three
months, so as to ensure that nobody would takes the place of the Mafiosi
during time of his detention. Drakai was released in three weeks. Since
then, the Albanians do not miss an opportunity to threaten the Chechens:
"the next time you'll have a shot in the head, not in the leg,"
they say to Khamzat. They point a finger at him, pretending to shoot him
each time they cross him in the street or whenever they pass in front
of their house. Police answers to the Chechen complaints "to call
if they have trouble", but do not answer when they are ask if they
will have to wait until one of them is killed.
The Albanians always start the fight in the same way: they get out armed
in front of the Chechens, who have to disarm them with naked hands. It
is thus extremely dangerous. Normally, they are always bringing the weapons
at the police, but considering the danger and the refusal of justice to
intervene, Alikhan found no other solution than to keep one, only for
defensive purpose. He never bought a bullet, but kept the ones in the
gun, after he had disarmed the Albabian owner... with nacked hands.
What was bound to happen has happened on April 2, 2010. Drekay, free
despite his three attempts to murder, was sitting in his car and showing
a gun, threatening Alikhan, as he passed by. Alikhan drew his own weapon
and fired at the car door, downward, not to touch any vital organ, then
he went to escape from the bullets of Drekai.
Ironically, the judges found that the Albanian had three arse holes,
including the one which nature gave him. The doctors have indeed extracted
two bullets of his buttocks. They would have found the impact of a third
bullet that would have touched the bottom, yet not penetrate it.
We discover with amazement that the third bullet has disappeared from
the file. Knowing the Belgian justice, this presumes that the bullets
extracted from the bottom of the Albanian were not fired with the same
weapon as the one that stung his buttock. As there was just one impact
on the door of the car, the bullet missing from the file is likely the
one shot by Alikhan, hampered by the door, which has thus only made a
sting.
Unfortunately, the government chose to persecute the Chechen to cause
revolts. They hope to justify the construction of "special prisons
for prisoners who are very dangerous," with an emergency legislation
to break men of exceptionally strong constitution. This explains how Alikhan,
a learned, hardworking person, without criminal record and who speaks
five languages, was sentenced to 7 years in prison for "attempted
murder", while he is deemed, at the worse, to have stung the buttocks
of a Mafiosi who has tried to kill him twice. Drakai has possibly had
his own bottom shot to get rid of the Chechen, who is prohibiting the
forced prostitution of the girls. He has still not been tried for his
three attempted murders, by stabbing and gunshot, targeting the kidney
and heart, not by stinging a buttock.
The Court of Appeals acknowledged that a Chechen warrior can not imagine
killing anyone by shooting him in the bottom. The judges reduced the sentence
to 5 years in prison for "aggravated assault". They "justified"
the severity of the sentence on the grounds that Alikhan would have acted
"according to Chechen traditions, without taking account of the Belgian
law."
"We never heard anything so ridiculous," said Magomed, who
is 24 years old. "All these criminals would dead and buried long
ago if we had used our old laws. We are well aware that we must integrate,
but the conflict started because we can not tolerate a woman being forced
into prostitution. We gathered money to restore the small mosque, but
the money was stolen and the mosque was closed. What can we do better
than bringing the police the guns? Why do they do that?"
The last hope to free Alikhan is the Court of cassation, but nothing
is ever sure in Belgium. There is also a possibility to re-open the case
for a new element, which allows requesting a ballistic investigation to
determine if the bullets extracted from the bottom of the Albanian come
from the weapon Alikhan.
In June 2010, Khamzat opened the door expecting to see the postman, but
he was stabbed twice, obviously by an Albanian. The police said they could
do nothing. The prosecutor did not find useful to require the application
of the law. There has not even been an investigation.
In December, Drakai and his younger brother, came out, armed with a knife
and a baseball bat. Drakai stabbed Khamzat in the back, then his cousin
to the liver, while Drakai's little brother stabbed their best friend.
The three young men were taken to hospital, two in critical condition.
The attempted murders were filmed, but the Albanians were left free.
Now the Albanians have not only the right to kill the Chechens, but the
Interior Ministry gives them the police assistance. Four days ago, they
came out armed in front of the Chechens, who must defend themselves with
bare hands, as usual. The Ministry has sent the canine unit, which by
the regulation, proves a premeditated action of the police. They sent
an un-muzzled dog to attack Magomed, rather than the Albanian attackers.
He had no other choice but to push his fist into the mouth of the dog
to avoid being bitten. The police then jumped to beat him. They broke
his two hands, his nose, his teeth and gave him a score of batons on the
head. They have then locked him ten hours in a cell without water or food,
with a radio set at maximum volume to increase the headaches caused by
batons.
- What can we do, asks Magomed. Nobody likes us. The Russians do not
want us. Nobody wants us. Where can we go?
- NO: we love you. We want you to stay!
