According to local St. Petersburg outlet Fontanka, Yevgeny Prigozhin has had boxes of cash that were seized during his mutiny returned to him. Authorities took possession of the cash during a search related to the mutiny.
Fontanka reports that Prigozhin’s driver, who had been granted power of attorney, came to collect the money on July 2. A total of ten billion rubles (the equivalent of $111 million) and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, as well as five bars of gold.
Investigators initially didn’t want to return the seized property. “But, judging by yet another reversal, a higher power intervened,” Fontanka writes.
