Putin ‘fury’ over leaks

VLADIMIR Putin is reportedly livid over leaks alleging he lives in stupendous luxury with mistress Alina Kabaeva.

The officially divorced president, 70, and the Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast, 39, have never acknowledged a relationship, but are suspected to have at least two children. An independent media outlet this week revealed details of a lakeside palace they use between Moscow and St Petersburg, and described them living like ‘royals’.

Telegram social media channel General SVR has now said he is furious about the leaks, claiming he is blaming his FSB security service and Ms Kabaeva’s friends for the breaches.
