Andrei Badalov, the vice-president of Russia's national oil pipeline, Transneft, has been found dead after allegedly falling out of a window of his home in suburban Moscow, law enforcement told Russian state media on Friday.

The former businessman's body was discovered beneath a window of a house in Rublyovka, an upscale residential neighbourhood on the outskirts of the Russian capital, TASS, Russia's national news agency, says.

The state-run oil conglomerate also confirmed Badalov's death, without elaborating on the circumstances, but said his work came during a “difficult and stressful period” due to wartime sanctions, according to the independent Russian newspaper, The Moscow Times. Badalov had served as Transneft’s vice-president since 2021.

TASS says law enforcement officers told the agency that the deceased had left a farewell note and that preliminary findings suggest his cause of death was suicide.

You would think that someone in the former Soviet Union would come up with another way to fake assassination, just to make it more interesting.

Russian upper crust learned long ago to watch out for polonium.
