It turns out that not only in Russia, but around the world, there is a group of especially dangerous criminals at work. They hack corporate registries and list officials’ wives as the owners of companies and property. How devious.
Earlier, the victims were the wives of the Russian deputy prosecutors general, Olga Lopatina and Nadezhda Starovera.
And now it has emerged that a Panamanian offshore company was planted on Peskov’s wife, Tatyana Navka:
Peskov must really have stepped on the tail of this Western Hydra, dreaming of sinking its poisonous teeth into Russia, if his family alone was saddled not only with an offshore company, but also with:
A watch worth 42 million rubles (about US$630,000).
A honeymoon on a yacht, which costs 29 million rubles a week to charter (about US$435,000).
A house on Rublyovka for 1 billion rubles (about US$15 million).
Obviously, if they were willing to plant so much on Peskov, then the forces behind the scenes would not begrudge even US$2 billion to plant on his boss, Putin. All for the sake of discrediting him.
The level of Putinophobia is such that they could plant even US$20 billion. Most likely, they already have.
