Ivan Sechin, son of Igor, ally of Putin and CEO of Rosneft, has died at 35 from a "detached blood clot", the same cause of death - according to Russian prison services - of Alexei Navalny. The man died on 5 February after complaining of "choking", reports the Telegram channel VChK-OGPU, as reported by Sky News. "He fell on the bed and lost consciousness, they tried to resuscitate him" but when the ambulance arrived he was declared dead. A source told the newspaper that the official cause of death was a "detached blood clot". The independent Russian newspaper Mediazona reports that the first to write about Sechin's death was Leonid Nevzlin, former manager of the Russian oil and gas company Yukos, who described the death as a "strange coincidence".
Who is the father
Nevzlin is a Russian-Israeli oligarch who renounced his Russian citizenship in 2022 after the invasion of Ukraine. "My condolences to the Sechin family, forced to hide their own pain", he added. Ivan Sechin is the son of Igor Sechin, long-time ally of Putin and head of Rosneft, one of the largest Russian oil companies. He is considered one of the most powerful people in Russia: he served as Deputy Prime Minister under Putin from 2008 to 2012 and maintains strong ties with the country's intelligence agencies. Sechin - Sky News still remembers - was sanctioned by the EU in 2022 after the invasion of Ukraine.
