The victims are 54-year-old entrepreneur Ilyas Gimadutdinov and his 39-year-old companion. Gimadutdinov was a influential businessman in the region. He was the founder and director of the transport company Tattatranskom, which specializes in oil and gas logistics, and generated around two billion rubles in revenue in 2024. Particularly controversial: According to the Ural Traffic Prosecutor's Office, the flight was not approved. Why the helicopter was flying so low over an active winter sports area is currently unclear.

Investigation Underway – Was It Recklessness or Technical Failure?

The authorities have initiated proceedings for violation of flight safety regulations. Experts are now investigating whether a technical defect, human error, or deliberate rule violation led to the crash. Aschatli Park, a popular destination with several ski slopes, draws numerous visitors, especially on weekends – the shock over the dangerous low flight is all the greater. For the entrepreneur's family, especially his daughter, the shock is almost indescribable. As the investigation continues, the question remains: how could such a risky flight over a full slope have happened?
