Millions of Russian businessmen were found shot dead in his mansion.
He is the sixth wealthy businessman associated with Russia’s state-owned gas company Gazprom and has been found dead in unnatural circumstances since the beginning of the year.
Yuri Voronov, 61, was the head of a logistics company that had a favorable contract with Gazprom in the Arctic Circle.
His body was found floating in the pool of his mansion in the elite village near St. Petersburg on Monday.
He had a gunshot wound on his head.
A pistol is said to have been found nearby, and “some used cartridges” are said to be at the bottom of the pool.
The Investigative Committee of Russia is investigating his death, which is believed to be related to a “quarrel with a partner.”
His wife reportedly told investigators that Voronov believed he had been fooled by contractors and partners who “acted in disgrace” for several weeks.
It is understood that the businessman was afraid that he “lost a lot of money”.
Visitors to his home in the Leningrad area were not found by security cameras.
Mr. Volonov’s death follows many other death reports that fuel rumors that the murder in a mansion on the outskirts of the elite in St. Petersburg is being staged to look like suicide.
The day after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, Alexander Tulakov, 61, a senior bureaucrat at the level of Gazprom’s Deputy Secretary of Finance and Security, was found dead in his mansion.
His body was found in a £ 500,000 mansion that apparently committed suicide, but he was reportedly severely beaten shortly before “taking his life.”
Three weeks ago, in the same gated community, Gazprom Invest’s transport manager, Leonid Schulman, 60, was found dead on the floor of his bathroom.
Billionaire Alexander Subbotin was found dead in May after being “advised by a shaman.”
The 42-year-old was a former top manager of energy giant Lukoil and the owner of a shipping company.
One theory surrounding his death is that he was poisoned by the poison of the toad that caused the heart attack.
In April, the wealthy Vladislav Avayev (51), a former Kremlin official, apparently took his life after killing his wife Yelena (47) and daughter (13).
He had a high level of ties with Russia’s leading financial institution, Gazprombank.
A friend disagrees with reports of his jealousy after admitting to the driver that his wife is pregnant.
A few days later, millionaire Sergei Protosenha, 55, died in Spain after appearing to have killed his wife, Natalia, 53, and her teenage daughter, Maria. Was discovered.
He was the former vice chairman of Novatek, a company that is also closely associated with the Kremlin.
It has been suggested that, like Mr. Abayev, Mr. Protosenya’s death may have been an assassination that looked like murder and suicide.
Last week, Eugénie Archipelago (47) and his wife Olga (50) were both born in Ukraine and were discovered by their daughter Polina (20) in multiple knife wounds.
An immediate briefing to the media claimed that Olga took her own life in jealous anger after her husband, who made his fortune on a mobile phone, said he would leave her.
However, this was strongly argued by the couple’s best friends.
