About it writes Bloomberg with reference to a partially declassified report of the US national intelligence, a number of murders were directly sanctioned by Putin. The document was partially declassified at the request of the journalist Bloomberg. The document states that "the first clear case" of ordering Putin of murder abroad occurred in 2004 in Qatar.
There, several Russian military intelligence officers were convicted of the murder of Chechen leader Zelimman Yandarbiyev, whom the US and UN were recognized as a terrorist. The former FSB employee Alexander Litvinenko is mentioned, and it is concluded that Moscow almost certainly ordered the murder of 2006.
Intelligence evaluation clearly shows that Putin's government "probably participated in the pursuit of other high -ranking officials to commit murder for political reasons, but we only have a low or average degree of confidence in this judgment, since direct and reliable evidence of the Kremlin is less than in the case with Litvinenko. " The report also states that Putin's goals are intelligence or dissidents, such as Russian businessman Alexander Pepilichny.
He "was reportedly, was killed with a biological toxin in the United Kingdom in 2012 shortly before he had to testify to the Kremlin tax fraud network. " In addition, other high -ranking officials are called Putin "probably" ordered to kill. It is noted that he seeks to eliminate the "rebellious separatists in Ukraine", as in the case of 2015, Alexander Bednov, who headed a detachment of militias called "Batman".
The document also states that the Kremlin may also plan to aim political and opposition leaders in critical post -Soviet countries, which are regarded as potential threats to Putin's authorities. "The key example is the former President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko, who survived almost deadly poisoning in 2004," said American intelligence. It should be reminded that the pre -trial investigation into the poisoning of former President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko in 2004 is still ongoing.
