A Russian businessman has offered a $1 million bounty for Vladimir Putin’s arrest – by posting a ‘Wanted: Dead or Alive’ poster online.
Alex Konanykhin said in posts on Facebook and LinkedIn that he would pay the money for the ‘arrest of Putin as a war criminal under international laws’
Konanykhin claimed that Putin was not the President of Russia because he ‘murdered his opponenets’.
The post included a mocked up poster which read: ‘Wanted: Dead or Alive. Vladimir Putin. For Mass Murder’.
After Facebook banned the post, Konanykhin insisted he was not asking for people to kill Putin and wanted him ‘brought to justice’.
Konanykhin’s offer came a week after Putin approved the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has led to the deaths of more than 2,000 Ukrainian civilians.
