Russian secret services are investigating a plot from “within their own ranks” to assassinate Vladimir Putin, according to a report.
Telegram channel VChK-OGPU, which allegedly has close links to Moscow’s security agencies and law enforcement, said an informant had told them of an “agent” boasting he had been given a “task” to “remove” the dictator. The bizarre claim came at a meeting in karaoke club Honey, in Chekhov, near Moscow, a known haunt of security services operatives, reported the Russian channel.
The supposed agent showed the informant, a 37-year-old construction industry entrepreneur, his service ID card during a “long heart-to-heart conversation about the war and future life in Russia.” The informant “did not argue and changed the topic.” He apparently became “haunted” after the karaoke club conversation at the threat to Putin and reported it to police, according to the channel.
The channel continued: “The special services have been searching for several days for the unknown person who planned to ‘remove’ Putin. Based on his tip, operatives went to study the situation in the Honey Club, where…you can often meet employees of various [secret] departments.”
