Did his contracts with Gazprom cost him his life? In Russia, another oligarch linked to the group died \u2013 the cases show a similar pattern. \/ Yuri Voronov is dead<\/p>\n
The Russian oligarch Yuri Voronov, who had connections to the Russian state-owned company Gazprom, is dead. As the British tabloid “Daily Mail” reported, the 61-year-old was found with a gunshot wound to the head in the swimming pool of his villa in St. Petersburg. A pistol and empty shell casings were lying on the edge of the pool.<\/p>\n
According to the media, this is the sixth influential Russian entrepreneur to lose his life since the beginning of the year. Many of them have ties to Gazprom, three – including Voronov – even hail from the same suburb of St. Petersburg, according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
Voronov ran a logistics company that had contracts with Gazprom in the Arctic. Investigators attribute his death to a dispute with business partners.<\/p>\n
According to the Daily Mail, the other victims are Alexander Tyulakov, a senior Gazprom official, Leonid Shulman, head of transport at Gazprom Invest, Alexander Subbotin, a former executive at energy giant Lukoil, Vladislav Avayev, a former Kremlin employee, and Sergey Protosenya, ex-vice chairman of the Kremlin-affiliated company Novatek.<\/p>\n
Some of the men’s wives and children were apparently also found dead. The deaths are said to have appeared staged like suicides, although there is some evidence of murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
