According to the source, on February 6, after Saburov arrived at Vnukovo Airport, he was presented with an official document stating that his entry into Russia was banned. Representatives of law enforcement agencies informed him that he was suspected of violating migration and tax rules.
Reportedly, Saburov was also detained at Sheremetyevo Airport on similar charges in May 2025. At that time, he was fined 5 thousand rubles and given two weeks to voluntarily leave the country.
Nurlan Saburov is considered one of the most popular stand-up comedians in Russia. In the spring of 2022, his concerts in the USA and Israel were canceled because he did not condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and by the end of 2025, his performances in Russia were also banned.
According to reports, the suspect owns real estate in Russia with a total value exceeding 160 million rubles. It is also said that he attempted to hide his income through intermediaries and, evading sanctions, refused to obtain Russian citizenship.
