Can the press secretary to the president of a country where 23% of citizens are officially classified as "poor" own a wristwatch worth four times his annual income? He can, if that country is Russia. Dmitry Peskov's Richard Mille RM 52-01 watch costs 37 million rubles. The official's annual income is 9 million rubles. Peskov could not have received the watch as a gift, because civil servants must surrender gifts worth more than 3,000 rubles to the state. In other words, the asset exists, but there is no legal income to account for it. A classic case of corruption and illicit enrichment. Details here: https://navalny.com/p/4378/
