# He's in the Files. Now He's Dead.
**Umar Dzhabrailov, former Russian senator and Chechen businessman, was found dead in Moscow on March 2, 2026. A gun was next to him. Russian authorities ruled it a suicide within hours.**
His daughter doesn't believe it.
Neither, apparently, does anyone paying attention.
Who Was Umar Dzhabrailov?
Dzhabrailov, 67, was a fixture of post-Soviet Russian power — a Chechen-born businessman who made his fortune in hotels and real estate during the chaos of the 1990s, then served as a member of the Federation Council, Russia's upper house of parliament. He ran for president in 2000. He was connected to everyone.
He was also in Jeffrey Epstein's contact list.
We know this because it's in the DOJ files. **EFTA01333093** is a document that appears to be a directory or address book — and there, between the Duchess of York and the Duke of York, is the entry: *Dzhabrailou, Urnar.*
That's not a coincidence. That's a contact list.
The Emails
The DOJ's Epstein file release — 398,525 documents, all searchable at [epstein.dugganusa.com](https://epstein.dugganusa.com) — contains at least three direct email exchanges involving Dzhabrailov.
The clearest one is **EFTA02335406**. Ghislaine Maxwell writes to Umar:
> *"Sorry that we did not come last week. Got side tracked and ended up in France. However we Jeffrey Tom and I are coming next week arriving Fri. Will you be around and can we get together? Let me know. Hope you are well. Ghislaine"*
Jeffrey. Coming to Moscow. To see Umar.
That's Jeffrey Epstein. That's Ghislaine Maxwell. That's a Chechen-Russian senator. And that's a planned trip to Moscow that apparently happened.
There's an earlier email too — **EFTA02335358**, from May 2001, Umar to Ghislaine:
> *"Dear Ghislane, thanx 4 your msg. I'm in Moscow this week. Call me on my handy. 007095 2337000. Thank U. Waiting 2 c U in Moscow. Best regards. Umar."*
He gave her his mobile number. He was waiting for her.
And in **EFTA02407636**, from August 2010, Maxwell emails Epstein's vacation address:
> *"Saw Giuseppe and Flavio last night and Umar! all spoke about you and asked after you. Gx"*
Nine years after the first email. Still in the circle. Still mentioned to Epstein.
March 2, 2026
This morning, Dzhabrailov was found dead in a residential complex in central Moscow. Gun beside him. No sign of struggle, according to investigators. Suicide, they said.
His daughter published the email screenshots herself — the ones showing his correspondence with Maxwell. Then she told reporters:
> *"He was silenced because of his involvement in the Epstein and Trump case."*
She doesn't believe it was suicide.
What This Is
We're not going to tell you what happened in that Moscow apartment. We don't know. Russian investigators have already decided, and they've decided quickly.
What we can tell you is what's in the documents.
A Chechen senator with direct ties to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein — ties documented in the U.S. government's own file release — is dead today in Moscow. His daughter says he was killed for it.
The files are the files. The government released them. We indexed them.
