Putin’s top doctor, who is believed to have inside knowledge of despot’s medical secrets, has been arrested by the FSB after he was caught ‘seeking to flee the country’.
Russian vaccine and serum chief Viktor Trukhin, 59, went missing six days ago, and was simultaneously fired from his senior post at a top state institute amid ‘fraud’ allegations after his family reported him missing.
He is said to have inside knowledge of Russia’s latest research and development in the field of vaccines, serums and ‘bacterial preparations’.
Trukhin was detained by Vladimir Putin’s FSB counterintelligence service seeking to escape abroad via Belarus, reported Telegram channel Cheka-OGPU.
He was the longtime director of the St Petersburg Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums.
Of all the places to try to escape from Russia via, I can’t help but feel like their vassal state wasn’t a good idea
Judging by the fact that he had to work with Putin, that doctor is definitely under all possible monitoring and restrictions. Probably also listed as a part of one of the many services so they could impose the same restrictions, which include very limited travel, expecially internationally.
This kind of things happens to people much less close to Putin, Kremlin, or anything like that, so the doc definitely had even tighter restrictions.
