The road devil, 23, who is the daughter of a meat factory tycoon, had already racked up an astonishing 342 speeding tickets totalling more than £10,000 – which her father paid in one go.

Bagdasaryan’s social media pages show off her wealthy lifestyle with photographs of her splashing her cash, and burning fistfuls of notes on a cooker.

One image shows her posing with €500 notes stuffed into her underwear, while another shocking post shows her using a cooker to set fire to wads of €500 and 5,000 rouble notes

Bagdasaryan and Shamsuarov, along with two other friends, were pursued by no fewer than six police cars as they raced in Shamsuarov’s luxury Mercedes G-class in the early hours of May 23.

They drove at 75mph along pedestrian pavements, according to evidence heard in court, and mocked and sneered at the traffic officers chasing them.

‘He is a piece of s***, this policeman,’ said one of the group, clearly audible in the footage.

‘We are on the way to find other policemen, to find out why on earth they decided to check us.’

Shamsuarov, nicknamed ‘Petrol Boy’ by Russian media, believed he had dodged justice until Putin’s road traffic police chief in Moscow personally ordered action against him.

When first caught by Moscow traffic cops, the youths posted another video clip showing Shamsuarov sitting in the Mercedes and surrounded by police cars, claiming it was like a scene from Grand Theft Auto and laughing.

Shamsuarov and his friend Abduvakhob Madzhidov, 22, who was driving, were initially given spot spot fines of just £25 each for driving without number plates.

Even then, Shamsuarov’s father, vice president of oil giant Lukoil, tried to negotiate with police on behalf of his son, say Russian reports.

Thanks to their own video, it is clear the culprits were jumping red lights, speeding on the wrong side of the road, overtaking wildly and accelerating away from police before driving into a public park during the May 23 chase.

Fury sparked by the video prompted police chief Anatoly Yakunin to launch a full-scale investigation, beginning with the arrest of Madzhido for 15 days.

Shamsuarov, despite attempts to go into hiding, was traced to an elite Moscow clinic where he was reportedly being treated for an asthma attack and he was given 15 days of ‘administrative arrest’.

He already had a dozen unpaid speeding fines and was driving without a valid licence.

Now the Russian Investigative Committee, the country’s version of the FBI has launched a full scale investigation into the chase.

Shamsuarov and Madzhidov are being probed for suspected hooliganism and disobeying police. They face a maximum sentence of seven years’ jail. Bagdasaryan is not being prosecuted.

Just one year ago Bagdasaryan was involved in a high-speed crash in which her 18-year-old friend Marik Galperin was killed, along with another man.

Although she was not held responsible for the crash, questions are now being asked in Russia about the high-speed antics of the country’s gilded youth.

Worries are being expressed that the children of the wealthy and powerful oligarch class are above the law, and get away with road crimes for which ordinary people would be severely punished.

Punished: Those involved in the car chase were initially punished so lightly it sparked fury, prompting police to have a re-think and fully investigate the incident. Pictured, Bagdasaryan as she appeared in court this week

Millionaire’s daughter Bagdasaryan was defiant on her arrest, posting a remarkable defence of herself and her elite friends on social media.

‘Ladies and gentlemen, do you seriously think we are guilty of all the troubles on all the roads of this country?’ she asked.

‘Aren’t you confused that one road accident of the so-called “golden youth” compares with 10,000 caused by ordinary people who kill others at pedestrian crossings without any moral problems/

‘And what about corrupt police who cover their drunk colleagues killing a child at a bus stop? How many of those?

‘But you got obsessed with me. I am guilty of four road accidents and no-one was killed in any of them. Nobody suffered but me. Not a single person.

Danger: Bagdasaryan doesn't seem to have been put off her high-speed antics, despite this horrific crash in October 2015 in which her 18-year-old friend Marik Galperin and another man lost their lives

‘You say I was driving that G-class but every idiot knows I was only a passenger.

‘And the passenger isn’t responsible for the aggression of the driver. It was the same in the crash [a year ago] where people were killed.

‘I was a passenger in the BMW M5. And I was nearly killed myself. How am I guilty?’
