"SNIP.......
Russian energy oligarch Igor Shkurko was found dead in a Siberian prison cell Tuesday after he was accused of taking a bribe. Shkurko, 49, was the deputy general director of energy company Yakutskenergo. He had reportedly submitted appeals against the bribery allegation the day before being found dead in his cell. Shkurko, who was a member of the pro-Putin United Russia party, is now one of many unexplained deaths that have occurred since Russias invasion of Ukraine. Experts estimate that at least 39 high-profile figures have died mysteriously since the start of the war. Russian authorities released no details surrounding Shkurkos death, but said they saw no evidence of a criminal death. Shkurko was accused of demanding a bribe worth approximately $6,200. He was married with two sons.

BTW, does anyone know how "non-criminal death" translates into Russian?

(13,283 posts)There was a long line of dignitaries all the way to Buckingham Palace who had better reasons than Epstein to have him dead. His cellmate was removed from the cell, his guards "fell asleep", and the cameras into his cell "malfunctioned". Extensive damage to his body could not be attributed to suicide by hanging.
But I am not saying it was homicide. It may have been that he slipped on a banana peel, hit his head on the stainless steel toilet, bounced back to the cell door, where his tie was accidentally caught by a passing Zamboni machine...

(30,866 posts)A lot of these deaths may, in fact be Putin supporters. But the fact this one is in a Siberian prison would seem to indicate otherwise. Still, it may be that any high profile oligarch or politician may be fair game for for the pro and anti Putin factions....

(114,139 posts)since so many of them have died weird deaths or have taken swan dives out of high rise windows. They won't know how this guy died without an autopsy but I wonder if they'll bother since whoever wanted him out of the picture likely knows how he died.'
Busted for accepting a bribe in Russia. That part is hilarious.

If they are willing to stand with Putin then they must know by now that they can be suicided at any minute for anything.
Perceived or real.
What a bunch of dumb assholes.
