German police are reported to be following leads on Ruja Ignatova that time to South Africa.
Citing a quickly to be launched documentary from WDR, Spiegel stories on perception offered by the Düsseldorf State Prison Police Workplace (LKA);
In line with the report, the Düsseldorf State Prison Police Workplace, which is main the investigation into the “Kryptoqueen” in Germany , has examined the contents of the doc and refuted one key level: the alleged executor of the homicide order named within the paperwork was in custody within the Netherlands on the time of the alleged crime.
This info “after all contradicts the data within the doc,” says LKA spokeswoman Sabine Dässel. “We assume or are working with the speculation that Ruja Ignatova remains to be alive.”
The “homicide order” pertains to a earlier report out of Bulgaria, claiming Ruja was murdered on the order of Christophoros Amanatidis-Taki in 2018.
That is additionally supported by the reactions inside her household, with whom Ignatova has at all times maintained shut contact.
Her daughter and sister should not mourned by her members of the family, so there’s apparently “no details about Ruja Ignatova’s loss of life” inside the household.
Presumably tying in to the 2023 homicide of a Bulgarian nationwide who’s reported to have been cooperating with “a international jurisdiction”, Spiegel goes on to report;
New clues a couple of attainable place of refuge for the “crypto queen” are all of the extra explosive.
“We have no idea the place Ruja Ignatova is,” mentioned LKA spokeswoman Dässel, however some clues led to South Africa.
Filmmaker von Mirbach’s analysis group additionally acquired a corresponding tip – from South African safety circles. There have been allegedly even sightings in an prosperous space of Cape City.
In line with his Instagram profile, Ignatova’s brother Konstantin was additionally in Cape City in 2018, after her disappearance. To fulfill his sister and get directions?
Whereas it’s definitely attainable, personally I’m not totally offered on Ruja Ignatova hiding in South Africa.
For starters we’ve already seen Bulgarian organized crime can kill at-will in South Africa with no penalties. OneCoin is over, so what worth is there in maintaining Ignatova alive?
Certainly it’d be cleaner to simply have her disposed of after which switch the cash connected to her wherever?
If the cash tied to Ignatova is getting used as collateral, can somebody on the FBI’s most wished checklist purchase sufficient safety in South Africa?
I can think about this being the case with Dubai or Russia, however in South Africa I’m unsure. The FBI additionally has a $5 million bounty on Ruja’s head. I think about that’d be extremely attractive to any family employees.
In Russia and Dubai one may buy human trafficked slaves. I suppose the identical is perhaps attainable in South Africa however I’d think about it’d be tougher to maintain underneath wraps long-term.
That is after all assuming there are insiders in South Africa who’re in on Ruja’s residing circumstances. It’s attainable she’s there with out anybody within the South African authorities or police drive figuring out.
All of that mentioned I’m definitely not an knowledgeable of this kind of factor.
I’ll maintain an open thoughts about Ruja being in South Africa (maybe she’s inside proximity of Frank Schneider there), however my cash remains to be on Dubai or Russia.
