The US Department of Finance should provide evidence of charges of corruption assigned to Vladimir Putin. As TASS reports , the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov stated this. “If they leave such official statements without evidence, then this throws a shadow to the reputation of this department,” he explained.
In the opinion of Peskov, the presence in the BBC film "Putin's secret wealth" of the official commentary of the representative of the US Department of Finance "indicates who is at the conductor's remote control."
Peskov also denied the presence of his own yacht in the head of state. “I know that the president of the yacht does not have,” said the Kremlin representative, emphasizing that he was not aware of other details regarding this type of property. “I am credited with very deep knowledge in yachts - this is not so,” the spokesman noted.
In general, Peskov called the information about Putin's corruption in the film "pure fiction and slander." "We are used to journalistic" ducks ", which are associated either with incompetence and pursuit of" yellowness ", or are directed campaigns," Peskov noted. According to him, "in this case, of course, we involuntarily pay attention to the fact that the appearance of such materials in time coincided with quasi exercises in some countries, publications in very respected editions of a similar content."
On the eve of the BBC film “Putin’s Secret Roadows”, the official representative of the US Ministry of Finance Adam Shubin said that Vladimir Putin was corrupt, and the American authorities know about this “long-long years”.
“We saw how he (Putin. - Ed.) Enriches his friends, his close allies and excludes those who do not belong to his friends and do not hold public positions,” Shubin remarked. “Whether the energy wealth of Russia, whether it is other state contracts - he redirects this to those who, as he thinks, will serve him, and selects those in whom this is corruption.”
A half -hour film, prepared by reporter Richard Bilton, was aired on Monday evening. The BBC notes that American officials are reluctant to talk about Putin’s wealth, but Shubin agreed to take part in the film.
Among the other heroes of the film are the ex -head of the "Sovcomflot" Dmitry Skarga. He said that in 2002 in Amsterdam, he oversaw Putin to Putin oligarch oligarch Roman Abramovich Olympia, the cost of which is $ 37 million. The yacht was transferred to Putin through an offshore company, and its content was paid from the Russian budget. At the same time, the presence of the ship was kept secret, since it is not the property of the state, but Putin personally.
