Killed in Russian millionaire house pool linked to Gazprom

Voronov was found dead in his home pool near St. Petersburg. As the intelligence portal “Basa” reports through its channel at Telegram, the 61-year-old Russian tycoon has been shot in the head.

Meanwhile, “Daily Mail” ensures that the company led by Voronov had lucrative contracts with Gazprom in the Arctic and noted that a possible dispute with business partners was the cause of his death.

On the other hand, the above - mentioned portal includes the version offered by the businessman's widow. It showed that the businessman believed that contractors and his partners were deceiving him. She has even confessed how her husband returned home on July 1, after a debate with his business partners about losing money.

Security cameras at Voronov's house didn't reveal any visitors entering the house in the hours before his death, nor in the hours following him. Thus, the owner of the Astra Shipping company died in mysterious circumstances after the start of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, and he is not the only Russian businessman with ties to the most important Russian gas company that has died.

The first to die in January was businessman Leonid Schulman, who was head of the Gazprom Invest Transport Service. Aleksandar Tiukiakov, who was deputy director general of Gazprom's Special Accounting Centre, also died in late January. Vasily Melnikov, owner of the medical supply company MedStom, was found dead in March in the town of Nizhny Novgorod. A similar event occurred in April with Vladislav Avayev, former vice president of Gazprombank, who was found dead along with his wife and daughter at his apartment in Moscow. Outside Russian territory, specifically in Lioret de Mar (Barcelona), the corpse of the former Novatek company manager Sergei Protoseniu was found with his wife and daughter. /A2 CNN
