In the coming days, an "information stuffing that claims to objectivity and sensationality" will be made against Vladimir Putin. According to RBC, this was stated by the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov.
"We received very felom -loving requests drawn up in the interrogation manner in essence," the official said.
One of the requests, continued Peskov, came from the International Consortium of Journalistic Investigations (ICIJ) - a global NGO uniting 90 more than 65 countries. At the same time, the Putin press secretary expressed confidence that ICIJ includes "not only journalists, but also representatives of other organizations and services." “And they,” the official said, “gather in the coming days in Germany, in the USA, UK, Switzerland, France, Russia and several other countries to publish another opuses.”
Peskov called the preparing publications "undisguised ordering." According to him, ICIJ appealed to the Kremlin’s press service with questions, "which have already asked hundreds of times and to which answers have been given hundreds of times." “We are talking about Putin personally, about attempts to get to his family, we are talking about childhood friends, businessmen (Kovalchuk, Rotenberg), about some offshore companies, about businessmen, whom Putin has not seen in the eye,” the official said.
At the same time, Peskov continued, the publication is preparing "a very famous international information agency." “There,” he said, “we are talking about some statements of the project to inform organized crime and corruption, where Putin’s connections with businessmen, providing businessmen of state contracts, and enrich businessmen at the expense of Putin are also re -chanted.
The official gave examples of the questions asked by the agency Putin: "Is it true that the volume of your accumulated state is more than $ 40 billion? Is it true that you own huge residences, megajams and other assets?"
“It is affirmed,” Peskov added, “that Putin retains close relations with Sergey Roldugin (the cellist who is a close friend of Putin and the shareholder of the Russian Bank. - Ed.), And it reports that he is directly related to the president, and that this is nothing more than presidential fraud. Or otherwise connected or has interests in companies. "
They do not intend to answer the questions asked in the Kremlin, Peskov assured. He also did not exclude appeals to the court with claims to the media, "if some distortions, some lies and some baseless accusations will relate to the head of state personally."
