A US-based Russian businessman has slapped a huge £750k bounty on the head of Vladimir Putin. Alex Konanykhin issued the decree on Facebook before clarifying he his offer was not to assassinate President Putin but to, essentially, perform a citizen's arrest on him.
The entrepreneur and former banker's initial Facebook post was removed by the social media company, as it included a fake wanted poster with the phrase 'Dead or Alive' on it, reports the Star.
He wrote: “I promise to pay $1,000,000 to the officer(s) who, complying with their constitutional duty, arrest(s) Putin as a war criminal under Russian and international laws. Putin is not the Russian president as he came to power as the result of a special operation of blowing up apartment buildings in Russia, then violated the Constitution by eliminating free elections and murdering his opponents.
