Son of an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin has been found dead under mysterious circumstances. Ivan Sechin, son of Russian state-owned oil giant Rosneft’s CEO Igor Sechin was 35 years old.
Ivan worked for Rosneft since 2014. His death was not announced and it came into the limelight when exiled Russian oligarch and Putin-critic Leonid Nevzlin drew attention to it.
Nevzlin stated on social media that he found mention of Sechin’s death in Russia’s national register of inheritance cases.
‘The entry said that Ivan Sechin, born in 1989, lived in a building that was previously described as “a house for President Putin’s associates’, according to Nevzlin. In his Facebook post, Nevzlin said the death of Ivan Sechin was a “strange coincidence.”
“Today, when we recalled with my friends and partners why the Kremlin war against Yukos started it was today that I learned that Igor Sechin had just lost his son. The very same man who fakes every obvious and bloody case against us. And still,” he said in his post.
“Probably hard to believe but my heart goes out to a father who lost his child. How I sympathize with Alexei Navalny’s mother. How I sympathized in recent years to Bory Nemtsov’s mother, who left us this month,” Nevzlin added. “My condolences to Sechin’s family, who are forced to hide their grief.”
Pavel Antov, a member of Putin’s United Russia party had once criticised the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In December 2022, he was found dead after falling from a window in Bharat.
