A WEALTHY pro-Putin politician was found hanging from a tree with his hands bound, while an ex transport boss was found dead at a five star hotel.
These are the latest in a spate of mysterious high-profile deaths across Russia, with some of the victims known to be under the eye of the fearsome FSB.
Vitaly Kapustin, 43, a construction company boss and regional MP, was found swinging 20ft up from a tree branch with tightly bound hands.
Witnesses who spotted him from a highway called the police, and expressed strong doubts he had taken his own life.
One said: “I saw how high up he was. His hands seemed to be tied behind his back.
“A person wouldn’t just climb up there easily, the trees are very tall.”
An investigation has been launched into the death of the millionaire MP who was a member of the staunchly pro-Putin United Russia party.
This is the third suspicious death this week.
A transport boss, Alexander Fedotov, 49, was found dead at a five star hotel in Moscow.
His body was found outside the five-star Skypoint Luxe hotel at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo international airport.
Fedotov had been staying there on a business trip, and was in a "high floor" room in the hotel, according to reports.
A criminal investigation is underway into his death, and no suicide note was found.
Fedotov had suddenly quit as transport chief for St Petersburg just last year.
It came amid reports of a probe by the FSB, Russia’s feared counterintelligence service.
Vladimir Putin’s transport minister Roman Starovoit, 53, died the same day he was fired by the Russian tyrant in July.
Fedotov had been linked to Starovoit, whose death remains highly suspicious to many observers.

Hanging in a tree with hands tied behind his back...could it have been suicide?

Without question; deaths like this are always suicide in Russia - at least he did not choose to go splat on a pavement, making other people clean up his mess.

And a Clinton fav too. Shooting yourself in the back of the head with the wrong hand.
Oh those Russkies with their hijinks. Buncha kidders.
This would not be the first time a “pro-putin” person crossed the line with putin or his cronies and they eliminated him Putin’s mobocracy operates like a mafia backed by the state,
Maybe someone who knew the Clinton’s shot himself in the head 9 times?.
I'm sure that there are factions that see Putin as too weak.
