Nurlan Saburov demanded 100 million rubles for return to Russia

An unknown man offered to help stand-up comedian Nurlan Saburov return to Russia for 100 million rubles. According to the Telegram channel Baza, citing a representative of the artist, the alleged fraudster claimed that he has the necessary connections and is able to negotiate with the Russian authorities on the abolition of the travel ban. He demanded a large sum for the solution of the issue, but he did not provide any confirmation of his capabilities.

The proposal was received by Saburov’s representatives, who did not enter into negotiations with the alleged mediator. The manager of the comedian immediately appealed to law enforcement and reported an attempt to get money under the pretext of settling problems with entry. According to Baza, the artist and his entourage did not use the services offered, and information about the suspicious treatment was transferred to the security forces.

Saburov was banned from entering Russia for 50 years. The comedian was detained at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport, after which he flew to Almaty and has not returned to Russia since. The reasons for such a long ban in the report are not specified, and there is no official information about the possibility of its early cancellation.
