Evgeny Prigozhin, who is believed to be the owner of the Wagner PPK, is recruiting prisoners to participate in the war. For every convict, obviously, Putin's cook gets money.

About this Channel 24said Russian journalist Timur Olevsky. According to him, Prigozhin first sold food to Russians, and then realized that it was easier and more profitable to simply sell Russian people.

How Prigozhin built his empire

< p>Olevsky said that Prigogine was absolutely cynical building his business because of orders from government agencies, selling bad things for a lot of money.

He worked with the Ministry of Defense for a very long time, built great empire. Prigozhin supplied a large number of military units with food, literally food, the Russian journalist said.

Olevsky noted that a reform was carried out in Russia, which was supposed to strengthen the army. According to her, civilians must supply food to the soldiers and, accordingly, feed them normally. But this reform was simply interrupted when it became clear that it was pushing people away from the streams very much. Shoigu,” he said.

The journalist explained that Prigogine has a large number of shim companies linked to his parent company by loan agreements.

He feeds bad food to the Department of Defense. These companies later sue the Ministry of Defense, suffer losses, go bankrupt, and close,” he said.

At the same time, the Russian journalist added, Yevgeny Prigozhin’s parent company receives money for all this.

“Prigozhin receives money for each prisoner”

Olevsky noted that later Prigozhin began to feed schoolchildren as well. He actually destroyed all the school kitchens. After the children began to get poisoned by the food that Prigozhin fed them, it became obvious that the soldiers also eat bad food.

And it became clear that Evgeny Viktorovich was more interested in money than in the health of the people he feeds. Because it’s just a business,” the journalist said.

He believes that later Prigozhin obviously realized that instead of selling food to Russians, it was easier and more profitable to just sell Russian people.

< p class="bloquote cke-markup">Because there is no doubt that Prigogine receives money for every prisoner, Olevsky emphasized.

The journalist noted that some people use this scheme to buy their lives out of prisons. For millions of rubles, they are allegedly recruited into the PIK, but in fact they sit quietly somewhere for some time, and then they will be legalized, in fact, having received an amnesty as participants in hostilities.

That is, you can sell Russian people to the war for slaughter. And you can also sell freedom to Russian people if these people, for example, the rich, think they can pay,” he said.

Olevsky added that among those recruited to participate in the war against Ukraine as part of the Wagner PPK, there are many men convicted under various articles. Most of them are murderers who received 15-20 years in prison.

By the way! The processes of recruiting prisoners into the Russian army take place not only in prisons, but also in pre-trial detention centers. The Editor-in-Chief of The Insider (Russia) Roman Dobrokhotov said that even among Kadyrov's units there are prisoners. >A video appeared on the network in which “Putina's cook” Yevgeny Prigozhin personally recruits prisoners to participate in the war. It was filmed in one of the Russian colonies.

Advisor to the Office of the President Alexei Arestovich commented on the recruitment of prisoners by Prigogine. He noted that the Russians posted the corresponding video themselves. They wanted fame so that they would find out about it in other “zones” and not only and would like to recruit it.

The Institute for the Study of War believes that Yevgeny Prigozhin is gradually becoming the face of the Russian “special operation” in Ukraine, ousting the Russian minister defense.
