Share prices of Russian companies began to decline due to Prigozhin’s “rebellion”

The shares of Russian companies on the Moscow Exchange went down after the founder of PMC Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, actually announced a military coup, and the FSB opened a case on calls for an armed rebellion.

Quotes of almost all securities of the largest companies, according to 23:00 Moscow time, were in the "red zone". The Moscow Exchange Index, writes RBC, fell after them.

• On the evening of June 23, Yevgeny Prigozhin accused the Russian military of attacking a mercenary camp and announced that he was actually going to carry out a military coup in Russia - calling it a "march of justice." The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation called this statement by Prigozhin about the strike on the mercenary camp "an informational provocation." The National Anti-Terrorism Committee stated that a criminal case had been opened on the fact of incitement to an armed rebellion and demanded "immediately stop illegal actions."
