FBI promised $ 250 thousand for information about Prigozhin

The FBI posted an announcement on the website that 13 Russians were wanted for meddling in the 2016 elections. Among them is the businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin. The US Department of Justice blamed 13 Russians for the intervention in 2018. In 2020, a Washington court closed the case against Mr. Prigozhin, and Interpol ended the prosecution.

“The FBI is offering rewards of up to $ 250,000 for information leading to the arrest of Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin … The FBI is looking for Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to commit fraud against the United States … He allegedly controlled and authorized the operations “Internet Research Agencies” aimed at interfering with politics and elections in the United States, “the FBI said.

The department recalled that in 2018 the court issued an arrest warrant for the entrepreneur after the indictment. Anyone with “any information about this person” is asked to contact the US embassy or local FBI office.

In response, Mr. Prigozhin said that the Russian threat is a horror story that is needed to “cover up the colossal gap between the deep state and the people.” “Gentlemen from the FBI are forced to pretend to be sheep and, in order not to get in the head, put on a wanted show, like in the old cowboy days. The truth will be on the side of the good guys like me, and all the bad guys can do is have some self-promotion. What else to do while sitting in the coronavirus bunkers. Long live the real America! ” – said in a statement by Mr. Prigozhin, which is quoted by the press service of “Concorde”.

The US Department of Justice in 2018 accused the businessman and the Internet Research Agency of interfering in the 2016 US presidential election. Sanctions were imposed against him. In March 2020, a Washington court closed the case against Mr Prigozhin. This was due to the fact that Concorde did not have a US presence and would not be punished effectively if charged. The businessman announced plans to recover $ 50 billion for illegal prosecution.
