Noah Krieger, also known as Murat Dadayev, a member of the German far-right populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD), has joined the Russian army. Krieger announced his decision via Instagram, where he published a photo of himself in a Russian military uniform. Concurrently, he posted images from the occupied city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region of Ukraine and appeared in training for motorcycle-based assault operations alongside Russian soldiers.
Expulsion procedures by the AfD
The local branch of the AfD in Lower Saxony, where Krieger was a registered member, initiated procedures for his party expulsion. The party did not provide a public explanation for the decision. These processes began following Murat Dadayev's trip to Chechnya, where he visited Grozny and the village of Samashki. There, he participated in a session of the Chechen parliament in the presence of leader Ramzan Kadyrov and met with Zamid Chalaev.
The visit to Chechnya
During his stay in Chechnya, Dadayev allegedly handed over a Luftwaffe manual from the Third Reich era, bearing Nazi symbols, to Akhmed Dudayev. According to an investigation by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, he had publicly expressed support for the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin, while at the same time advocating for stricter immigration policies and using rhetoric reminiscent of World War II.
Activities in Germany
In Hanover, the Chechen-born Dadayev had established businesses and leased an 850-square-meter historical villa for events. Later, according to reports, he continued to use it without a legal lease, while the venue also hosted meetings with AfD members. There, he had also welcomed Said-Magomed Ibragimov, the former head of the Team Wolf Hamburg fight club, which has been linked by human rights organizations to pro-Kadyrov networks.
Connections with the Kadyrov inner circle
Ibragimov has repeatedly appeared alongside Magomed Daudov and Abuzayd Vismuradov. Concurrently, reports link members of Dadayev's family to cases attributed to the network of the Kadyrov regime within the European Union.
The case of his brother
In 2011, his brother, Suleiman (Muslim) Dadayev, was sentenced to 19 years in prison in Vienna for involvement in the murder of Umar Israilov, a former bodyguard of Ramzan Kadyrov. Austrian authorities had attributed the assassination order to Ramzan Kadyrov, according to the findings of the investigation.
The assassination of Umar Israilov
Israilov had joined the Chechen independence movement in 2001, was arrested in 2003, and subsequently temporarily joined Kadyrov's personal security detail before fleeing to Europe. In January 2009, he was assassinated in Vienna. The European Court of Human Rights ruled that the Russian authorities failed to conduct an effective investigation and awarded damages to his family.
