Putin politician’s body found hanging from tree with hands bound while ex-transport boss discovered dead at Moscow hotel

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.

Fell out a window, and landed in a tree, you say? Nothing suspicious about that.

at a five star hotel

I think “five star” hotel in Moscow means “Not everybody who stays here gets murdered.”

News from the future:

Unfortunately the witnesses were so distraught over what they saw that they committed suicide with two shots in the backs of their heads. Those that found their bodies quickly agreed that it looked like suicide to them.

Are you trying to claim that Putin was responsible?

Especially when the opening sentence says:

A WEALTHY pro-Putin politician

Did you eve bother to read any of what was offered? Sometimes, you will find that reading beyond the headline is actually worth while, which I have learned by having done the same thing. 😁🤙

Reminds me of the Soviet defector Walter Krivitsky, who supposedly committed suicide by shooting himself in a Washington, DC hotel in 1941—after he had warned that Stalin’s secret police would try to murder him and make it look like a suicide.

Yeah, and the next man up may actually be another Stalin, or worse.
