Abduvaliev was born in May 1950 Tashkent city.[6] His father was the collective farm chairman. After retiring from the sport of freestyle wrestling, he worked in a factory, then he became a trucker.

On 25 May 1998, Yuri Shchekochikhin accused Abduvaliev along with KGB Major General Evgeny G. Khokholkov, who headed URPO (Russian: Управления по разработке и пресечению деятельности преступных организаций (УРПО)) in the FSB, and Gafur Rakhimov of very unusual activities.[7][8][9][a]

In the 1990s and 2000s he was a partner of Michael Cherney on aluminum business, sponsored the participation of Anatoly Bykov with Boris Petrunin support in the elections in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia and is very close to Tevfik Arif.[11][12]

Alexander Litvinenko stated that both Salim Abduvaliev and Gafur Rakhimov control the narcotics trafficking from Central Asia including Afghanistan and cocaine from Colombia to the Ismailovskaya mafia (OGP) which then moves narcotics using Saint Petersburg's Tambovskaya mafia (OGP) through the St. Petersburg's Sea Port (Russian: Морской порт Санкт-Петербург) to flood Europe with narcotics and that Vladimir Putin organized the network and is intimately involved in the trafficking.[13][14] Robert Eringer confirmed this.[15] Litvinenko stated that General Abdurashid Dostum (Russian: генерал Абдурашид Дустум) controlled 80% of the territory where opium poppies were grown in Central Asia including Afghanistan and that he works very closely with Salim Abduvaliev who is supported by numerous FSB officials.[16]

According to Jon Purnell, Abduvaliev is the Uzbek "mafia boss" and "the boss of the criminal world" of Uzbekistan.[17] Abduvaliev allegedly is the financier of Kamchy Kolbayev of the Brothers' Circle.[18]

In 2006 he defended his thesis of Candidate of Economic Sciences on the theme "Management of social and economic development of municipal unions: generalization of the experience of Russia and the Republic of Uzbekistan."
