The fraudster from my report “Hunting for Death Benefits” watched the film and called me a rat. But she still has not shown fundraising reports

The subject of my film on TV Rain wrote to me — Dagestani woman Inga Musayeva (she calls herself Indira). The report reached her — and she cannot believe that someone can really tell the truth about her. Indira is trying to find out who “ordered” the material against her.

What is the essence? Inga created a chat for mothers and wives of missing servicemen and collects money from them, allegedly for humanitarian aid. In return, she promises to find those missing in captivity and, for the dead, to help retrieve the bodies.

Of course, she has no official status, no authority, and no real resources for this.

I watched this chat for six months. I saw many transfer receipts from desperate women. I saw how they sent her money again and again. And I did not see a single report on how that money was spent.

What I did see was pathos, aggression toward “undesirable” people, and boasting about whom Inga supposedly has close access to. The other day she promised mothers a meeting with Dagestan’s prime minister, Magomed Ramazanov — because, according to her, she communicates with him and is even friends with him.

Before publication, I asked Inga several times to send financial reports, receipts, confirmations of transfers, and contacts of people she had actually helped. Instead — voice messages, references to Allah, and accusations that the material against her had supposedly been ordered by someone.

And the decision of the Kizlyar District Court, which recognized her as a fraudster for schemes she had been running even before the war began — was that ordered too?

This is terribly cynical: in every message she appeals to God, while she herself so godlessly exploits the grief of women looking for their sons and husbands.

The mother of a serviceman whom Inga has been “searching for” for more than two years says that only she gave her hope that her son is alive. Although it is obvious that the son died long ago; they simply cannot evacuate the body.

The war has become a market — and Inga is a vivid example of that. First the state distributed “death benefits” and other payments to families of the dead, and now an entire ecosystem of people has grown up around this money, selling desperate women hope and impossible promises.

And if you have not seen the report yet, watch it!
