▲ Alina Kabaeva (40), known as President Putin’s ‘hidden lover’ Photo: Kabaeva SNS Russian President Vladimir Putin has entered into a confiscation of business for Yevgeny Prigozhin, who caused a mercenary rebellion.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report on the 2nd (local time), Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) agents recently raided the ‘Patriot Media Group’ in St. Petersburg and searched the offices.
Patriot Media is the heart of the business of Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner Group.
FSB agents scoured the computers and servers there for evidence relating to Prigogine.
The fact that President Putin would reorganize his business to ‘punish’ Prigozhin has long been expected.
WSJ said that it had secured employee statements and text messages that day, and in particular, according to President Putin’s action, Patriot Media’s new owner is likely to become the ‘National Media Group’.
The National Media Group is led by Alina Kabaeva, 40, a former rhythmic gymnastics national team member 31 years younger than President Putin’s ‘secret lover’ who is said to have fathered at least three children.
The WSJ pointed out that if Putin gets his hands on the Wagner Group, including Patriot Media, on his account, it will be one of the few instances in recent history where a government has swallowed a huge corporate empire.
Putin’s attempt is to recapture Prigozhin’s ‘corporate empire’, which he once supported.
There are more than 100 businesses managed by the Wagner Group, and Prigogine has led the restaurant company ‘Concord’, which is like his ‘root’, as a holding company.
The activities of the Wagner group were enough to make the Kremlin a virtual “helper behind the screen” in accumulating influence and attracting money on the international stage.
Patriot Media, where the search and seizure began this time, has also served as the Kremlin’s trumpeter, leading various online media and social media.
Previously, on the 24th of last month, the day the Wagner mercenary group armed advance, the Kremlin shut down the Wagner group’s social media and conducted a surprise crackdown against several Concord subsidiaries, finding guns, counterfeit passports, cash and gold bars worth 48 million dollars. .
Media affiliated with Patriot Media, which was seized that day, also announced a temporary closure on the 30th of last month, and ‘Yarus’, known as Prigojin’s social media, also announced the suspension of service on the 29th, a day earlier, and announced that it was looking for new investors.
In fact, the attempt to ‘dismantle’ the Wagner Mercenary Corps has begun in earnest.
The Kremlin’s newly appointed military operators posted job advertisements on social media and elsewhere to ‘recruit’ some of the alleged 30,000 Wagner mercenaries and hackers.
Governments in Africa and the Middle East where the Wagner mercenaries were deployed have been notified by Russian officials that the Wagner mercenaries are no longer operating independently, the WSJ reported.
