Evgeny Prigozhin, the Russian oligarch head of the Concord company and the man behind the trolls factory and the private arms company Wagner and also known by the nickname “Putin’s chef”, made a bank transfer from 1 million rubles ($ 13,200) to the Charité hospital in Berlin for the treatment of opponent Alexei Navalny.
The company’s press service said on its VK page, Tass reports. “The press service of the Concord company says that Evgeny Prigozhin has transferred another tranche of 1 million rubles to the Charité clinic for the treatment of Navalny,” the statement said. “The clinic has provided information on its expenses and these funds will be sufficient to continue Navalny’s treatment and full recovery,” it reads again.
“They have to treat him until he is fully recovered, he owes me money,” Prigozhin said according to the press service. The Moscow Arbitration Court in October 2019 decided to seize a total of 88 million rubles ($ 1.1 million), or 29 million rubles each, from Navalny, activist Lubov Sobol, and the Anti-Corruption Foundation. part as compensation for moral damages, in a lawsuit filed by Moskovsky shkolnik, a company that supplies food to schools (which belongs to the Prigozhin galaxy).
