During the raids, law enforcement officers seized various items, including a giant sledgehammer labeled “For use in important negotiations.” And boxes containing Russian banknotes worth around £86 million ($109 million).
Leaked photographs taken inside Prigozhin’s opulent estate showcased his valuable possessions, including a Russian military uniform adorned with approximately two dozen medals.
Whereabouts unknown
It was initially reported that the money and equipment had been returned to the office and the Wagner Center. But that is impossible to confirm.
The raids also revealed several passports, which were photographed as evidence.
In a short audio message posted to the Wagner-affiliated Greyzone Telegram channel, Prigozhin stated, “Our march of justice aimed at fighting traitors and mobilizing society has been successful in many aspects. Soon, you will witness our next victories at the front.”
Prigozhin is not disclosing his current whereabouts in the message. And the fact that it was an audio recording marked a departure from the previous video messages he had used to address his forces before their failed mutiny attempt on June 24.
