Poisoned Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny alleges in a new, viral video that Russian President Vladimir Putin owns an opulent billion dollar palace that was built with fraudulently obtained funds, according to reports.
Navalny, in the footage, claims that Putin allies, including oil chiefs and billionaires, paid for the construction of the $1.35 billion Black Sea palace, the BBC reported.
“[They] built a palace for their boss with this money,” Navalny says, according to the report.
The Kremlin shot back on Wednesday, denying Putin owns the palace.
Peskov said the palace “has nothing to do with either the president or the Kremlin so we haven’t the slightest desire to be interested,†according to the report.
The video claims the palace is outfitted with a casino and an underground ice rink.
“It has impregnable fences, its own port, its own security, a church, its own permit system, a no-fly zone, and even its own border checkpoint,” Navalny says, according to BBC
