Maybe. But who knows what goes on in that part of the world? Russian mobsters are a force to be reckoned with on their own. Who knows how many toes these guys step on? Russians don’t rely on courts to settle things like we do. Much as I’d like to blame Putin for everything there are a lot of wheels within wheels there.
Or Chechen mobsters.
As likely the CIA is carrying out the assassinations as any mobster.
Actually, probably more. Bi-sh*t and his media blow jobbers are trying anything and everything to put the squeeze on Putin since the war isn’t going their way [what you see in the Western media is curated, censored or out right fabricated]
