Several mysterious deaths
At least six Russian oligarchs have died under unclear circumstances in the past year. Many of them have had a connection with the gas industry and the state-owned company Gazprom.
For example, in July, the company director Yuri Voronov was found dead in the swimming pool of his home. There was a bullet hole in Voronov’s head and shell casings and a gun were found at the scene.
Voronov got rich with his transport and logistics company, which works closely with the Russian company Gazprom.
For example, in January, the executive of Gazprom Invest, a subsidiary of the state gas company Leonid Shulman was found dead in his cottage in the Leningrad region.
In February, Deputy Director of Gazprom’s Corporate Security Center Aleksandr Tyuliakov was found hanged in his cabin in the same area.
