Grigory Grabovoy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grigory Petrovich Grabovoy (Russian: Григо́рий Петро́вич Грабово́й) (born November 14, 1963 in Kazakhstan) is a Russian religious leader who claims the ability to abolish death, resurrect the dead, cure cancer and AIDS, teleport, and pinpoint mechanical problems on airplanes. Some sources call him a cult leader. [1]
He promised grieving mothers of the 2004 Beslan school hostage crisis, that he could resurrect their dead children—for a fee of around 1500 USD[citation needed].
On April 7, 2006 Grabovoy was arrested in a Moscow hotel and detained on suspicion of fraudulently obtaining money from parents of the Beslan tragedy, a charge that carries a sentence of up to three years in prison.
