The Presnensky Court of Moscow agreed to reconsider the claim of the founder of PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin against the former editor-in-chief of the radio station “Echo of Moscow” Alexei Venediktov (included by the Ministry of Justice in the register of foreign agents). In August, the court declared unreliable words journalist that Yevgeny Prigozhin is “the owner of PMC Wagner”. The representative of the military company said that he “gives victory in this court to Comrade Venediktov.”

“There was a time when I had to go and sue Venediktov and others, because there was a secret need to say that Wagner PMC does not exist … Today … I am pleased to give Comrade Venediktov victory in this court. And if there is a desire, then to all those from whom I won them,” Yevgeny Prigozhin conveys the words of his press office.

The businessman stressed that he was “wrong” in this trial, and the court’s acceptance of Alexei Venediktov’s position is a “big victory.”
