Putin’s Secret Police Raid Wagner Headquarters, Find £38million Cash Stuffed In Van

Russian President, Vladimir Putin’s FSB security service troops have found £38million in cash stuffed in a van and two buses when they raid Prigozhin’s Wagner Headquarters in St Petersburg.

Yevgeny Prigozhin has confirmed that a large amount of money, which was stashed in a van and two buses on the property, was found during the raid by Putin’s FSB troops – and belongs to the mercenary group, Daily Mail reports.

He provided no detail of how much the stash was worth, but earlier Russian media outlets reported it was around £4billion rubles, or £38million.

In an audio message on Telegram he explained that the funds are dedicated to covering compensation payments of killed Wagner soldiers.

“Wagner has been operating for the past 10 years using only cash – as agreed in our contract. I fully adhere to it,” he said.

A number of restrictions have now been introduced around the Russian capital following a decree from the governor as the Wagner group advances north towards Moscow after seizing a key military base earlier today.

Wagner chief Yevgney Prigozhin later announced a ceasefire, saying their march into Moscow had been halted.
