Vladislav and his wife, Tatyana Bakalchuk, are in the process of divorcing and have been in a public dispute over the company's future since Wildberries announced plans to merge with Russ Group in June. Tatyana founded Wildberries in 2004 and turned it into a major marketplace for a wide range of goods.

Both sides blamed each other for the shooting. Vladislav claimed he had come to attend a scheduled meeting, but Tatyana insisted there was no meeting and that her husband and his accomplices had tried to take over the office.

Vladislav's lawyer said the charges were a "blatant violation" of his rights. The dispute revolved around a merger that created a new company, reducing Tatyana's stake from 99% to about 65%.

Chechnya's leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, has backed Vladislav and described the annexation as a "property grab". Tatyana has denied the accusations. The Kremlin said President Putin supported the annexation but would not intervene.

In a Telegram video, Tatyana asked her husband: "How will you look into the eyes of our parents and children?".
