Prigozhin asked Macron to provide security for the son of the head of the Russia House in the Central African Republic

The head of the Wagenr PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, turned to French President Emmanuel Macron with a request to provide protection for the son of the head of the Russia House in the Central African Republic, Dmitry Syty. About it informed Prigozhin’s press service in the Telegram channel.

“Dear Mr. President! The son of Dmitry Sytoy is a French citizen and lives in France. I ask you to give instructions to provide Dmitry’s son with worthy protection from terrorists who tried to make an attempt on Dmitry Sytyi, ”the appeal says.

Prigozhin also pointed out that Syty has made a lot of efforts to fight terrorism in Africa.

The attempt on the life of Dmitry Syty was committed in the capital of the Central African Republic, Bangui, on December 16, 2022. The Russian Embassy in the republic specified that the head of the Russia House received an anonymous package with explosives inside. She detonated in his hands, Sytoy was hospitalized. On December 19, it became known that Sytyi’s condition remained grave after the assassination attempt, and a decision was made to evacuate him to Russia.

Later, at the scene of the assassination, the CAR police found a note with a threat. “This is for you from all the French. The Russians will get out of Africa,” was printed in Russian on a narrow piece of paper. Later, the CAR police detained seven people who may be related to the terrorist attack. The Russian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the assassination attempt on Sytyi and expressed hope that those responsible for it would be identified.

In 2019, the American television channel CNN published an investigation into the activities of companies associated with Prigozhin. For a month, reporters of the TV channel collected information in the Central African Republic, and also examined documents confirming Prigozhin’s connection with the republic.
