Putin's secret residence uncovered by FSB bodyguard leaks
The French newspaper Le Monde obtained secret information about Putin. It turns out that his bodyguards frequently appeared at the Gelendzhik residence in the Krasnodar region, which might suggest the Russian president's presence. But that's not the end.
The portal Belsat reports the latest information regarding Vladimir Putin, citing the findings of French journalists. Interestingly, the source of the information leak was reportedly a training app used by FSB officers. The bodyguards unwittingly revealed their location over several years.
Le Monde's analysis showed that several of Putin's bodyguards appeared within a radius of 6 miles around the Russian president's luxury residence in Gelendzhik, in the Krasnodar region by the Black Sea. The late opposition leader Alexei Navalny revealed this property. The Kremlin has never confirmed that this building belongs to the president.
The palace is said to be a 16-story bunker occupying about 194,000 square feet. It reportedly includes 11 bedrooms, fountains, pools, a special tunnel leading to the beach, a concert hall, a relaxation room, a wine cellar, a theater, and a casino.
According to Le Monde, FSB officers appeared near the palace between August 19 and September 22 each year. This occurred annually from 2019 to 2023. One bodyguard is reported to have also appeared this year for three days and was directly under the residence.
Interestingly, data about other residences leaked as well. Putin is said to have a palace in Karelia near the border with Finland. There, too, one agent was conducting training sessions. Another bodyguard traveling with the president to Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi also practiced in 2022.
In September 2023, another FSB officer left data. He was running in the city of Blagoveshchensk in eastern Russia a few days before Vladimir Putin met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un at the nearby Vostochny Cosmodrome, reports Belsat.
