Putin "hid" the supply of drugs to Europe in the 1990s, the London court said
The High Court of London published documents testifying to the involvement of the current President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, in controlling the supply of drugs from Colombia to Europe through the port of St. Petersburg in the early 1990s.
This is mentioned in the dossier on the head of the Federal Service for Control of Drug Trafficking of Russia (FSKN) Viktor Ivanov in the framework of hearings in the case of the murder of Alexander Lytvynenko, published by the London court, writes Deutsche Welle.
According to the report, the dossier on the head of the FSKN was compiled in 2006. by ex-KGB employee Yury Shvets on Lytvynenko's order for the British company Titon.
The German publication writes that in the early 1990s, Ivanov collaborated with the leader of the Tambov OPG, Vladimir Kumarin. At the dawn of the "bad 90s" Ivanov helped Kumarin take control of the St. Petersburg port for drug smuggling from Colombia to Western Europe via St. Petersburg.
The author of the dossier claims that the cooperation was fully controlled by Putin, then the former head of the Committee on External Economic Relations in the administration of St. Petersburg Mayor Anatoly Sobchak.
