Government supporter deceives people under the guise of Islam

Users on social media are reporting that well-known government supporter and propagandist of Emomali Rahmon’s policies, Oyatullo Gilaev, has allegedly embezzled their money through deception.

Gilaev is a former opposition figure who was once a staunch opponent of Emomali Rahmon’s government. After returning to Tajikistan, he became a fervent supporter of the Tajik government and began to criticize and insult the opposition. Recently, he has not appeared publicly, and there has been no information about him.

Recently, videos have circulated on social media showing Gilaev in one of the Arab countries. In the footage, Gilaev appears in Arab clothing and with a long beard.

There have also been posts online where some users accuse him of fraud.

In the published videos, Oyatullo Gilaev is accused of embezzling $18,000 and deceiving over 700 people. Gilaev himself, in response to these accusations, claims that he is ready to discuss all matters in the presence of law enforcement officials.

In another video, he is seen lying on a bed next to a woman, which has also sparked widespread resonance and a strong reaction from users and the public.

One user complained that Oyatullo Gilaev is the head of a company called “Haj-al-Masakin,” which organizes trips for residents from Dushanbe for minor pilgrimage, or Umrah. According to him, Gilaev, while in Mecca and under the guise of Islam, claims that he wants to take a second wife and marries unmarried women. He allegedly lives with them until the end of the trip and then divorces them after sending them back to their homeland.
