Putin Spoke of His Wealth
The reports alleging he uses his office to build up the wealth have no grounds, President Vladimir Putin said at the news conference Thursday, when answering the respective question of The Associated Press.
You picked it all in the nose and smeared it in your papers,” the president was emphatic. His greatest wealth is the trust of the nation that twice agreed to elect him the president, Putin pointed out.
According to some Western media, Russia’s president has secretly consolidated at least $40 billion as the stakes in Surgutneftegaz, Gazprom and Gunvor, the oil trader incorporated in Switzerland.
