This week, Russian security services conducted raids on the estate and offices of exiled Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Videos of the raid captured officers armed with assault rifles conducting thorough searches throughout the premises. And photos were released of the luxurious lifestyle Prigozhin had been leading.
The images exposed his private swimming pool, helipad, sauna, gym, and even a medical office. Additionally, the house featured its own private prayer room adorned with religious imagery.
The raids uncovered a series of disguises worn by the billionaire, allegedly during his covert activities in Africa and the Middle East in furtherance of Putin’s interests and the deployment of Wagner forces. While the Wagner Group officially operates as a private company, several individuals involved in its founding are linked to the GRU.
Among the disguises discovered, one showed Prigozhin posing as an employee of the Sudanese Ministry of Defense. And another depicted him as an assistant diplomat from Abu Dhabi. Additional disguises featured him as various military figures from Libya.
