The fact that at the time of the tragedy Diana was not alone in the car - her friend, 23-year-old Azer Yagubov, was driving, gave rise to a series of assumptions about possible connection. Moreover, the guy is also a representative of a famous family.
His father is businessman Makhri Yagubov, his uncle is the head of the state department of the legal department of the Russian government, Subhi Shikhlinsky. However, the young man’s father said that Azer was not at all the boyfriend of Platon Lebedev’s granddaughter; the young people had only friendly relations.

The elite crossover BMW X6, in which Diana and Azer were, was driving along the highway from Lugano to Geneva. On a section with a sharp bend, the car flew off the road and, breaking through an iron fence, crashed into the lake.
Presumably, the young people died immediately. The cause of death was injuries incompatible with life. A photo report from the scene of the tragedy showed: the car was pulled out of the water using a crane. The photo shows that the car's body is badly damaged and the roof is crushed.
The versions of what happened include an icy road and excessive speed. In particular, there was an assumption about races organized by young people on the morning track. The media published a selfie of the deceased, posing behind the wheel while not wearing a seat belt, as proof that the girl was not vigilant behind the wheel and on the road.

“There were no races, there was heavy fog, the road is serpentine, windy, and the driver lost control.”
Makhri Yagubov also named probable cause accident fog:
“There is a 90-degree turn on the road where the accident occurred, and it is impossible to drive there at high speed. The cause of the accident was probably thick fog."
The death of the young beauty caused a wave of comments on social networks.

It is noteworthy that Diana was born in the year of the Queen of Hearts’ death - in 1997, and the model named her Instagram profile ladydd11.
The parents arranged for their daughter lavish funeral. On Troekurovskoye Cemetery Many of the girl’s friends came, including celebrity children. Journalists were not allowed into the ceremony. The relatives of the deceased ordered to exhibit enhanced security. However, reporters noticed Diana’s grief-stricken mother, who was carefully supported by her father, Platon Lebedev.
The girl was buried in a luxurious white coffin. A huge memorial in the form of a tent was erected over Diana's grave. For the construction, 4 sections had to be combined at once, and the approaches to neighboring graves were damaged. Subsequently, this fact caused a lot of discontent and criticism against Lebedev’s family, and complaints were filed to the authorities. At the beginning of 2017, the question of dismantling the memorial tent was raised.

To lift the mangled car out of the water, divers, several rescue vessels and a crane had to be called in.
Presumably, the BMW X6 flew off a section of the road with a sharp bend, knocking down an iron fence on the bridge. One of the reasons for the tragedy could have been an icy road, which, combined with high speed, contributed to the driver losing control vehicle- local media report that young people staged a race on a Swiss track.
According to Yagubov’s father, he communicated with him the day before the tragedy. He claims that everything was fine and the young man did not drink alcohol. Life reports that Yagubov was a friend of Lebedeva. Yagubov's relatives arrived in Switzerland to take part in the body identification procedure.

She regularly posted selfies from inside cars where she was not wearing a seat belt, while most of photo of the granddaughter of a Russian oligarch - from beauty salons in Zhukovka near Moscow, luxury villas in Monaco and boutiques in France.
Diana’s main hobby was singing; Lebedeva spent her leisure time in the best karaoke and restaurants in Moscow: the girl, along with her friends, was a regular at the La Maree, Bistrot and Mario restaurants.
The leaders of the Yukos oil company, Platon Lebedev and Mikhail Khodorkovsky, were arrested in 2003 on suspicion of fraud and tax evasion. Lebedev spent 10.5 years in prison and was released in January 2015.
Lebedev Platon Leonidovich – famous Russian entrepreneur. Together with him he created the MENATEP bank, and then they took the helm of the YUKOS holding. Platon Lebedev does not like to talk about his childhood and youth, or his parents. It is known that the entrepreneur was born on November 29, 1956 in Moscow. Platon Leonidovich has a twin brother, Victor.
After receiving his matriculation certificate, Lebedev entered the Moscow Academy of National Economy. G. Plekhanov. In 1981 he became a certified specialist. The assignment brought Platon Leonidovich into the foreign trade structure of the USSR Ministry of Geology - “Zarubezhgeologiya”. Over 8 years of work in the organization, Lebedev reached the position of head of the economic planning department.
Business
Perestroika brought Platon Leonidovich into business. Shortly before his dismissal from Zarubezhgeology, the man met Mikhail Khodorkovsky. With common effort they create a Center for Science and Technology Programs for Youth. Khodorkovsky, Lebedev and Monakhov supplied computers to the country, created “boiled” jeans, which were fashionable at that time, and sold alcohol.
It took businessmen several years to transform MENATEP into large enterprise, which carried out activities in 20 areas. Over the year, the company's turnover reached 80 million rubles. The organization helped state-owned companies cash out banknotes. In the early 90s, MENATEP turned into commercial Bank. A new milestone has appeared in Lebedev’s biography - co-founder of a bank with a 7% stake.
Soon Platon Leonidovich sits in the chair of the president of the MENATEP bank. The financial institution became an intermediary in government payments. Even the Ministry of Finance used it.
Clever schemes, which included offshore companies, issuance of shares, and treasury tax exemption, helped Lebedev and his partners earn billions. The money earned was used to purchase shares in the country's raw materials companies. Thanks to this, Lebedev soon received a controlling stake in YUKOS. In 1996, 90% of the company's shares passed into the hands of the entrepreneur.

Money frozen in their accounts of individuals and legal entities were distributed among companies controlled by Platon Leonidovich. As a result, there was not a penny left in the bank. MENATEP officially became bankrupt.
Inside YUKOS, Lebedev and Khodorkovsky carried out serious reforms. They created companies engaged in oil production, transportation, production of equipment, oils and additives. All enterprises became part of a huge holding company called YUKOS. In 2003 affiliated companies received a single share. This allowed entrepreneurs to increase the value valuable papers.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky's desire to achieve results in the political field led to serious problems. At Yukos they started tax audits, and later representatives of law enforcement agencies came.
Criminal prosecutions
Searches and investigations brought Platon Lebedev to the dock. The court considered a criminal case related to the illegal seizure of shares of OJSC Eastern Oil Company, theft of oil, legalization Money and a number of other offences. The investigation into the case lasted two years.
The verdict to friends and associates Lebedev and Khodorkovsky was passed on May 31, 2005. The businessmen were transferred to a colony located in the village of Kharp. It is interesting that serving a sentence in accordance with Russian legislation Lebedev was supposed to be in the same region where he was convicted. But instead, the entrepreneur was sent to Yamalo-Nenets autonomous region. Platon Leonidovich's lawyers managed to change the place of detention.
For almost 10 years, lawyers have been fighting to reduce the sentence. Numerous petitions and appeals helped. Platon Lebedev was released after 11 years. This was achieved due to the fact that charges of laundering 2 billion rubles were withdrawn and prosecutions for tax evasion were stopped.
Platon Leonidovich left the colony on January 24, 2014. He received the right to partial rehabilitation by decision of the Presidium Supreme Court RF. Despite this, more than 17 billion rubles were recovered from Lebedev. On the side of the entrepreneur were many cultural figures, including.

At that time, the lovers were already raising two children - Maria and Daria. During numerous trials, the wife testified in favor of her husband and read letters written by her daughters.
Now Platon Leonidovich - happy father and grandfather. Lyudmila Lebedeva married businessman Ibragim Suleymanov. The son-in-law has repeatedly come to the attention of the police for fraud and connections with crime bosses. And in 2007 he went to jail.

The student at the University of St. Gallen and representative of the golden youth of Moscow was only 19 years old.
Platon Leonidovich does not talk about the death of his granddaughter. Journalists were not allowed to attend Diana's funeral. And under the photo on Instagram of the girl, heated discussions took place. Some mourned with the family of the deceased, others argued that Diana herself was to blame for what happened.

Yesterday, Lebedev’s granddaughter Diana died in Switzerland. The car in which a 19-year-old girl and her 23-year-old friend were traveling fell from a bridge into the river.
Diana was undeniably beautiful. I feel very sorry for the girl: young, lovely, rich. It would seem to live and be happy. Everything is given - money, health, youth and beauty.
But a terrible absurdity happened, which mercilessly and completely unexpectedly ended the life of a happy girl.

Actually, nothing unexpected. The boomerang law, absolutely expectedly, came into effect in Once again proved its inevitability.
You can steal money. You can kill, steal, rob, but no one has yet repealed the boomerang law, and this law always hits where it hurts the most.
In the case of Lebedev, the patient is a young, beautiful granddaughter, whose life was taken away for the sins of her grandfather.
Grandfather, whom I don’t feel sorry for at all. A girl - very much. I can’t sympathize with Lebedev, even though he faced such a loss.
Both Khodorkovsky and Lebedev are real bandits out of 90 who survived.

Just so you understand, it was not the sheep that remained alive, but the most cruel ones. The sheep were shot. Survivors were ruthless wolves.
And what happened to Diana is Lebedev’s answer for his sins. For the innocent old women of Menatep, including. They, like his granddaughter, were also not guilty of anything, but they also did not live out the time allotted to them.
It's better to live like middle class than climbing to the top using a ladder made of bones. It is better to spread less butter on the bread than to go against your conscience.
Don't do shit, my dears. Be honest - to yourself, first of all. Always fight for the truth. You will always be rewarded fairly.
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:10).
Do you believe in the law of karma? Have you ever felt like you were paying for the sins of your ancestors? When you commit certain actions, do you admit that the most unsightly of them can have a serious impact on your descendants?
Died in a traffic accident in Switzerland. An elite BMW crossover, in which 19-year-old Diana Lebedeva was traveling, fell into the lake from a bridge. The deceased girl, who chose the pseudonym Ladydd11 for social networks, repeated the fate of the Princess of Wales.
According to Swiss media, the accident occurred on Thursday morning in the south of the country, near the village of Castagnola near Lake Lugano on a serpentine road towards Geneva. Two Russians died in the accident: a 19-year-old girl and a 23-year-old young man who was driving. On Friday night it turned out that Diana Lebedeva was killed. Identity of the alleged driver young man not yet installed.
The press service of the Russian Embassy in Switzerland confirmed that the 19-year-old girl who died in an accident in the canton of Ticino is the granddaughter of Platon Lebedev, a person involved in the “YUKOS case”.
According to the embassy representative, the Russian diplomatic mission is currently working to transport the bodies of the victims to their homeland. "This will be done in as soon as possible", the press service clarified.
According to media reports, on Thursday morning, rescuers pulled the car out of the lake using a crane, and the bodies of the young people were lifted by divers.
Judging by the photographs from the scene of the accident, the BMW X6 flew off a section of the road with a sharp bend, knocking down an iron fence on the bridge.
It is possible that an icy road could have been an indirect cause of the tragedy, which, combined with high speed, contributed to the driver losing control of the vehicle. During the fall, the crossover received significant damage to the body, especially the roof of the car, which was somehow crushed.
A few hours after the news of Lebedeva’s death, comments with condolences from friends and relatives began to appear on her Instagram under the last photo posted.
“Bright, Kind, Cheerful, Beautiful Dianochka! We love you and you are always with us. The Kingdom of heaven! - write her subscribers. - I really didn’t know what to say! Only that I am very offended! Why so beautiful and kind!”
“I’m sorry... but calling an account the nickname of Princess Diana who died in a car accident!?!... unconsciously attracts the same ending,” notes another subscriber of Lebedeva.
On Instagram, the girl is registered as ladydd11, which definitely hints at the name of Diana, Princess of Wales. In this regard, analogies arise with how the princess’s life was cut short - she and her companion died in an accident in Paris. It is also noteworthy that 19 years have passed since the death of the princess in 1997.
Judging by the photographs on social networks, Diana Lebedeva led an active social life. It is difficult to judge the girl’s other activities and hobbies from the photographs she publishes. Noteworthy is the fact that a girl with a very impressive appearance periodically posted selfies from inside cars where she was not wearing a seat belt.
The grandfather of the deceased is businessman Platon Lebedev, well-known in Russia and abroad. He was a partner of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, co-founder of the MENATEP bank and a member of the board of the oil company YUKOS. In 2003, Lebedev was found guilty of tax evasion, theft, and money laundering and spent 10.5 years in prison, being released in 2014.
Switzerland is a favorite place of study and recreation for the “golden youth” from Russia. In 2009, the small country was rocked by a scandal with a group of “majors” from Russia, who staged wild races around Lake Geneva in elite supercars, which ended in a major accident.
Then four cars - Bugatti Veyron, McLaren Mercedes, Lamborghini Murcielago and Porsche Cayenne Turbo - started simultaneously from the intersection at the entrance to Bellevue.
Young people raced along the road at speeds of up to 220 km/h, where maximum speed limited to 80 km/h. The race ended in tragedy - 22-year-old Russian Ziya Babaev, driving a Lamborghini, crashed into a Volkswagen Golf, driven by a 70-year-old German pensioner. The impact sent the modest hatchback flying tens of meters away, rolling over several times and crashing into a fence. The man received severe injuries, including his head, but still survived.
The examination showed that Babayev, who is the son of businessman Mehraj Babayev and studied in Geneva in International Center MSU, was drunk at the time of the accident. After the accident he was expelled.
By the way, the other participants in the race were the sons of the ex-owner Cherkizovsky market Telman Ismailova Alekper and Sarhan, Young people drove a Bugatti Veyron and Mercedes McLaren.
Despite the fact that the pensioner did not sue Babaev after paying compensation, the case went to court. Point at trial over Babaev was raised relatively recently. Last year he was given a two-year suspended sentence and fined 10,000 francs. In court, he stated that he repented, admitted guilt, but spoke little about the events of that night, citing that he did not remember anything.
