The news says Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was advised by Russian billionaires directly linked to the Kremlin. It is assumed that, having secured the support of President Putin, they were responsible for the development of the criptomoeda Petro.
The news names at least two of these people: Denis Druzhkov and Fedor Bogorodsky. They were allegedly behind the development of Petro, a joint venture created by Venezuelan and Russian authorities and businessmen to circumvent the sanctions imposed on the two countries.
In particular, the news highlights an accessible photo in an open search on the search sites of Petro's presentation, which took place on February 20. He clearly shows the president of Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro, and in the front row in front of the Russian "advisers".
A search by the name of Denis Druzhkov on Facebook did not have any special results, but it has a very interesting material. For example, we found that Denis Druzhkov, the co-founder and CEO of zeus.exchange, commented in 2017 on the blow to users of exchange BTC-E and the arrest of his alleged co-owner Alexander Vinnik. Look here.
For Fedor Bogorodsky the research did not reveal anything special. In a simple Google search we get the news of February 22, in which Bogorodsky is represented as director of Aero Trading and president of the ALFEBA Group of Companies.
A survey on the network also provided additional information about the director of Aero Trading. At http://bogorodskiy.com you can find information that Fedor Bogorodsky has been in close contact with countries in South America, including Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. The member of the Association of Economists of Latin America and the Caribbean presented him there as Director of the Group of Companies of the Group of Five.
By itself, this information, of course, does not in any way mean that the people mentioned conduct illegal business. However, according to TIME, Druzhkov and Bogorodsky are not just billionaires with close ties with Russian banks under sanctions but also with those in the Kremlin.
According to Time, its source the manager of a Russian state bank who asked for full anonymity, said: The entire venture is not only carried out under the supervision of senior officials of the Kremlin, but was initially approved by President Putin.
