Part 6/8:
The Mysterious Demises of Russian Officials
In a concerning development, Russian political and business figures are reportedly dying under suspicious circumstances. This week, Roman Stoitz, Russia’s former transport minister, was found dead with a gunshot wound shortly after being dismissed from his position. His death has raised questions about possible foul play, especially considering his alleged involvement in corruption scandals linked to the construction industry in Kursk and other regions.
Similarly, just days earlier, the deputy head of Russia’s Transneft, an oil and gas pipeline company, fell out of a window and died. To date, over 15 senior Russian officials and executives have died in circumstances deemed questionable since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine commenced.
