Former Russian banker offers $1 million to capture Putin 'dead or alive'

The Russian businessman assures that President Putin must be arrested as a war criminal, in accordance with Russian international law

Fulfilling his " moral duty to facilitate the denazification of Russia", the Russian businessman Alex Konanykhin, made a publication from his Facebook account where he offered a million dollars to capture the president of the largest country in the world, Vladimir Putin, "alive or dead”.

Accompanied by a photo of Putin in the style of the Wild West, the former banker shared a text where he promised to pay a million dollars to the officer or officers who, " doing their duty established in the constitution" arrest him as a war criminal, according to Russian international law.

Although the original publication of February 27 was deleted by the same social network, the businessman made the offer again on March 2, this time without including the photo.

In both texts it is read how, the native of Russia and resident of the United States, indicates that Putin is not the Russian president because he came to power as a result of violating the constitution, blowing up departmental buildings, assassinating his opponents and eliminating free elections.

Likewise, he points out that he will continue to help Ukraine in " its heroic efforts to resist the attack of Putin's gang."

Who is Alex Konanykhin?

The 55-year-old billionaire was the founder of a private bank in Russia. In addition, he belonged to the close circle of the former President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin.
