The court refused to recognize Prigozhin as the founder of Wagner PMC


The Presnensky Court of Moscow refused to review the lawsuit filed by businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin against the former editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, Alexei Venediktov (the Ministry of Justice recognized him as a foreign agent). Mr. Venediktov himself spoke about this. Earlier, the court found unreliable the words of the journalist that Yevgeny Prigozhin owns the Wagner PMC.

“The court refused to review the decision in the case of Prigozhin vs. Venediktov. The court did not believe Prigozhin that he was the founder and financier of the Wagner group. The court refused to accept Prigozhin's "gift" to Venediktov," wrote Alexei Venediktov in Telegram.

Back in July 2022, Evgeny Prigozhin denied his connection with the Wagner PMC, despite the fact that after the start of the military operation, he repeatedly acted as a representative of a private military company. Only in September of the same year, the businessman admitted that it was he who founded Wagner PMC in 2014. After that, Alexei Venediktov said that he would submit the verdict for review "due to newly discovered circumstances." In January 2023 Evgeny Prigozhin declaredthat "gives victory" in court to Alexei Venediktov in his own lawsuit.
