"I'm glad he is alive"

There was a man who spoke about the “dirty work” on the people of Evgeny Prigozhin. Denis Korotkov’s comment and recording a conversation before the “disappearance”

There was Valery Amelchenko - a man who talked about what kind of “dirty work” was performed on the instructions of people who worked for the “Kremlin cook” Evgeny Prigozhin.

Recall, Amelchenko mysteriously disappeared on October 2, 2018 after a conversation in a cafe on St. Petersburg Malaya Sadovaya Street.

The fact that Amelchenko was found is good. As we assumed in the material “The cook loves more”, its disappearance could be a staging.

A couple of hours after our last meeting, Amelchenko called me on a mobile phone and said that he had noticed surveillance (there were records of all the conversations in the editorial office), after which the conversation broke off, and later on the phone of Amelchenko answered his neighbor, finding phones and half -bots next to the house.

Some theatricality of the mise -en -scenes suggested the production, but we could not exclude that Amelchenko was really abducted, and the only correct decision in that situation was the police.

No matter how I treated Amelchenko after everything that he told himself and his “work”, which consisted in provocations and attacks on the tasks of his “curators”, I am glad that he is alive and healthy.

Now Amelchenko appeared with a lawyer to the police and asked his search to stop, since there were no unlawful actions against him and no one abducted him.

Why was Amelchenko’s stories about “dirty work” were not fiction?

His stories about working on people from Prigozhin's structures were confirmed. He got on the video from the place of dummmer accident with the St. Petersburg entrepreneur Elena Cherevko, who had a conflict with Prigozhin (Amelchenko provided “assistance to the victim”). He described in detail the circumstances of the attacks and provocations, demonstrated personnel of the hidden shooting of an opposition blogger, behind which was followed by surveillance. Finally, people who worked for Prigozhin themselves confirm that Amelchenko was familiar to them and followed their instructions.

For several months, Amelchenko talked about “dirty work”, the audio recording of these conversations was authorized by Amelchenko himself. After his stories found confirmation and we realized that the situation is serious, he asked for its security.

We do not know what is behind the disappearance and sudden appearance of Amelchenko - a source to which we guaranteed help and support. The audio recording of my conversation with Amelchenko on the day of his loss is at the disposal of the editorial office, as well as the record of his phone call about surveillance, after which he stopped in touch.

The New Gazeta fulfilled its obligations in relation to Valery Amelchenko.
