Putin's top doctor who 'has inside knowledge of despot's medical secrets' is arrested by FSB after he was caught 'trying to escape Russia via Belarus'
Putin's top doctor, who is believed to have inside knowledge of despot's medical secrets, has been arrested by the FSB after he was caught 'seeking to flee the country'.
Russian vaccine and serum chief Viktor Trukhin, 59, went missing six days ago, and was simultaneously fired from his senior post at a top state institute amid 'fraud' allegations after his family reported him missing.
He is said to have inside knowledge of Russia's latest research and development in the field of vaccines, serums and 'bacterial preparations'.
Trukhin was detained by Vladimir Putin's FSB counterintelligence service seeking to escape abroad via Belarus, reported Telegram channel Cheka-OGPU.
He was the longtime director of the St Petersburg Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums.
Of course he will be discredited as a doctor and he will be found to be a west-paid spy for a large number of years before falling from the window of his prison cell (in Russia they are so humane prison cells don't have bars on them).
I sure hope Putin's next doctor won't be as careful when dosing his medications. I'd love to see some ipecac being distributed in the coffe cups of a closed meeting between Putler and the north-korean bimbo
Bold of you to assume he’ll survive captivity.
Well, a fall from a high window is not the best way to survive captivity :)
I was kind of startled by a picture of Putin I saw yesterday in a news story about Kim Jong Un. It looks like he has textbook moon facies from iatrogenic Cushing's, so I think he's just getting loaded up with steroids. It could just be weight gain, but his hands and torso don't appear to have changed compared to older photos.
