"According to preliminary data, the cause of the businessman's death was an oncological disease." It follows the deaths of dozens high profile Russians have died since Putin invaded Ukraine . And experts believe the deaths of at least 39 people - ranging from oligarchs to scientists - could show the shadowy and bloodstained hand of the Kremlin . Many of the movers and shakers died in odd circumstances, such as sudden "suicides" and falls from windows. It has led Jon Sweet, a retired US Army Military Intelligence Officer, to describe Putin as running a "modern-day FSB version of Murder Inc." "Anyone seen as a potential threat seems to have an attraction to an open window," Sweet told The Sun. Earlier this month, a chief Russian prosecutor was found dead in a river - but is understood to have not drowned. Andrey Fomin was swimming in the Volga, Europe's longest river, when he suddenly died. The 57-year-old was the chief prosecutor of Chuvashia, a region about 420 miles east of Moscow , and was an ardent supporter of despot Putin . Meanwhile, a Russian billionaire who sold Harry and Meghan their US home in Montecito for £12 million died in Moscow aged just 56 in March. Tha){kind=link}
