NEW: Russian businessman with links to gas giant Gazprom mysteriously found dead – report

 

According to media reports, a multi-millionaire Russian businessman was shot dead at his mansion, making him the latest elite with ties to energy giant Gazprom to die in recent months.

 

Yuri Voronov, 61, the head of a logistics company that had lucrative contracts with Gazprom in the Arctic, was discovered dead at his home in an ultra-rich St Petersburg suburb around 2 p.m. on Monday, according to the Daily Mail.

 

Voronov was discovered floating in the pool with a gunshot wound to the head, a Grand Power pistol nearby, and several spent cases at the pool’s bottom.

 

He is at least the sixth wealthy Russian businessman to die in mysterious circumstances since the beginning of the year, many of whom had ties to Gazprom and two of whom died in the same St Petersburg suburb as Voronov, according to the Daily Mail.

 

The Russian Investigative Committee is looking into Voronov’s death, which is currently being blamed on a “dispute with business partners.”

 

According to his wife, Voronov believed he was being duped out of “a lot of money” by “dishonourable” contractors and partners.

 

However, a number of deaths at other mansions near St. Petersburg have fueled rumours of murders staged to appear as suicides.

 

A lover discovered Alexander Tyulakov, 61, a senior Gazprom financial and security official, hanged at his home in the exclusive Leninsky development in February.

 

Investigators said he killed himself, but local reports said his body had been beaten, implying the hanging was staged.

 

Three weeks earlier, Leonid Shulman, 60, was found stabbed to death in his bathroom in the same housing development.

 

Shulman was the head of transportation at Gazprom Invest, the energy conglomerate’s investment arm.

 

Billionaire Alexander Subbotin, 43, a former senior executive at energy giant Lukoil, was also discovered dead in May, according to the Daily Mail.

Democrats once again revive effort to shutter Guantanamo Bay | Just The News

 

Republicans cast an immediate shadow of doubt on their colleagues' ability to get the longtime wishlist item done list.

Democrats in Congress are once again reviving their effort to shut down the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, though the effort will face the usual Senate battle.

 

Democratic lawmakers have moved legislation to shutter the facility in Cuba forward in recent months as part of the annual Defense spending bill, which is expected to be voted upon in the coming weeks.

 

The move will likely face a mountain of opposition from Senate Republicans, who largely oppose the effort.

 

Retiring Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe (R) told The Hill, "I’m sure it’s not going to happen. No rational person’s going to support that. It’s an absolutely vital institution."

 

Alabama Rep. Mike Rogers (R) concurred that it is unlikely Democrats will secure the votes needed to shut down Gitmo. "They have such slim majorities right now. It’s difficult for them to do anything … So, getting something that controversial done is just, as a practical matter, not going to happen."

 

Sen. Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) We should’ve closed it years ago said, “We should’ve closed it years ago," adding that he agrees with both President Biden and former President Barack Obama. "I would vote for anything to close Guantanamo Bay. You have to have the votes, and we’ve tried before and they haven’t been able to get it." he said.

 

Republican Kay Granger (Tex.) voiced concern about the population kept at the facility being moved to the U.S.

 

"These detainees are the worst of the worst, and we need assurance that they will never be moved to the United States" said the leading Republican on the House Appropriations Committee.

 

According to data from the American Civil Liberties Union, close to 800 people have been detained at the maximum security prison since it was opened in 2002, following the 9/11 attacks. Currently, there are fewer than 40 prisoners still being held at the facility, and the Biden administration continues to work to reduce the number of detainees held there.

 

"The Biden administration remains dedicated to a deliberate and thorough process focused on responsibly reducing the detainee population and ultimately closing the Guantanamo facility," a spokesperson for the National Security Committee said.
