The oil executive son of Vladimir Putin’s trusted confidante, Igor Sechin, has reportedly died mysteriously, with his death concealed for two weeks.
Ivan Sechin, 35, worked for Rosneft, headed by his father. His demise adds to a series of enigmatic deaths in the energy sector since Putin’s Ukraine invasion.
There are speculations about power shifts among Putin’s inner circle after the upcoming “rigged” presidential election.
Sechin’s death, attributed to a “detached blood clot,” raises questions amid similarities to recent events, including Alexei Navalny’s death.
The secretive Sechin was buried swiftly, and his father allegedly impeded official investigations.
