Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has confirmed that Russia's security service has raided the military company's HQ in St Petersburg, with reports suggesting around £38million in cash was seized.
Prigozhin, who will move to neighbouring Belarus as part of a deal to end his rebellion, claimed the money which was found by Vladimir Putin's Federal Security Service troops belongs to the mercenary group.
The cash was reportedly found stashed inside a van and two buses. Prigozhin has not confirmed how much money was seized but Russian media outlets reported it was around £4billion rubles, or £38million.
