Pavel Prigozhin is the son of Evgeniy. What kind of Prigogine doesn’t like wild rides?

The 18-year-old son of businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, known as the “Kremlin chef,” was involved in an accident in St. Petersburg.

On the night of December 18, an accident occurred in St. Petersburg, during which a BMW and Mercedes Gelandewagen collided, exceeding the speed limit and allegedly driving through a red light. The Gelandewagen was driven by 18-year-old Pavel Evgenievich Prigozhin, whose data completely coincides with the data of the son of the famous restaurateur Evgeny Prigozhin, Fontanka writes.

Half an hour after the accident in to the “Road Accidents and Emergency” group, user Sergey Svetlov published a post:“The passenger’s legs were pinned in the BMW. The driver of the Gelika, a guy of about twenty, said that he was driving through a red light.”

As we learned from eyewitnesses, the main focus of the operational intkbbee The services were expectedly focused on the BMW, but there was also movement around the Gelendvagen. “In addition to the young driver, there was one passenger in the cabin. They both came out, quickly tied up their numbers, and put them in the cabin,” the eyewitness said.

The Gelendvagen, overturned on its side, was put on its wheels by two tow trucks. The foreign car was loaded and taken to the Avangard car dealership on Primorsky Avenue. It is known for its status as an official Mercedes-Benz dealer, cooperation with the Federal Security Service (government contracts for the supply of spare parts are regularly concluded) and the owner - former hockey player Maxim Sushinsky.

It turned out that the car was purchased at Avangard less than 48 hours before the collision - on Friday, December 16. The car was registered to a legal entity with the popular name “Olympus”. The cost, judging by the official prices of the salon, is 12 million rubles.

A novice driver, Pavel Evgenievich Prigozhin, 18 years old, was behind the wheel of the Gelendvagen. A person with the same data is related to the circle of St. Petersburg billionaire Evgeny Prigozhin as his, Evgeny Prigozhin’s, son.

A preliminary analysis of the accident by traffic police officers showed that both cars were clearly moving in excess of the speed limit established for the city, and one of the participants in the accident drove through a prohibiting traffic light.

Businessman Evgeny Prigozhin owns and heads the Conkrod corporation, which is involved in catering, construction and media. Prigozhin’s structures occupy almost monopoly positions in billion-dollar contracts with the Ministry of Defense. He is also credited with financing the work of the “troll factory,” Mediazona recalls.

Prigozhin’s name is associated with a series of attacks on opposition bloggers in St. Petersburg, which took place in January-June 2016. Lyubov Sobol from the Anti-Corruption Foundation, who was investigating Prigozhin’s activities, asked the police to check his possible connection with the attack on her husband, sociologist Sergei Mokhov.

Whom many media outlets have long called Vladimir Putin’s “personal chef,” was involved in a serious accident in St. Petersburg. As eyewitnesses reported on the social network VKontakte, on the night of December 18 at the intersection of Piskarevsky Prospekt and Bestuzhevskaya Street

A BMW 5 Series covered in camouflage film and a black Mercedes Gelandewagen AMG collided. As I later found out, the Gelandewagen was driven by an 18-year-old.

The noise from the collision was so loud that it awakened residents of nearby houses. The impact caused the luxury SUV to turn over on its side, and the BMW, judging by the photo from the scene, received a powerful blow to the right side of the body, which led to serious damage. As eyewitnesses wrote, young people came out of the Gelandewagen salon, quickly changed their numbers and waited for the support group. As it turned out, in addition to the driver, who was not injured, there was a passenger in the BMW.

The girl’s legs were pinned and, as eyewitnesses reported, it took the arriving rescuers at least half an hour to get her out of the mangled car.

“We woke up from a terrible blow,” wrote eyewitness Polina Melnikova. “At first we saw an overturned black car, but it turned out that the girl from the BMW was injured. We heard a scream." Other witnesses said that both cars were traveling at high speed and one of them ran a red traffic light. However, many statements contradict each other.

According to Fontanka, a preliminary analysis of the accident by employees showed that both cars were clearly moving in excess of the speed limit established for the city.

“This Gelendvagen overtook me in front of this traffic light. He was flying at least 180,” said netizen Nina Savchenko, who, according to her, was driving an Audi Q7.

The State Traffic Inspectorate has no doubt about one thing:

“The intersection is controlled, and one of the participants in the accident drove through the prohibiting traffic light,” Fontanka’s interlocutor clarified. “However, it is premature to talk about the degree of guilt; the drivers have not yet been interviewed.”

According to preliminary data, Prigozhin himself is currently in the hospital. A medical examination for alcohol gave a negative result.

After the incident was registered, the BMW was taken to a special site, and the Gelandewagen was taken to the Avangard car dealership on Primorsky Prospekt, where, according to data, it was purchased just two days before the incident for 12 million rubles. The salon has the status of an official dealer of the Mercedes-Benz brand and is known for its cooperation with (government contracts for the supply of spare parts are regularly concluded). Its owner is a famous former hockey player.

Let us recall that Yevgeny Prigozhin became famous for his rapid career, which is believed to have taken off after he was noticed in 2001 in one of the restaurants where Prigozhin personally served the president. In 2003, the restaurateur already organized a banquet on the occasion of the birthday of the head of state. Five years later, Prigozhin's company received the right to serve guests during the inauguration. According to media reports, Prigozhin consistently receives government orders for food supplies to military structures and schools.

Recently, Gazeta.Ru wrote that the company Collective-Service, which may be part of Prigozhin’s business empire and fed Russian sailors in Crimea and Sevastopol, belongs to.

Let us note that at the end of May in St. Petersburg, the traffic police and traffic police officers gave chase to the motorcade of Prigozhin Sr. who was violating traffic rules.

The recording published by Fontanka shows how security forces were chasing a BMW 760 with license plate O377CA and a black Nissan Patrol SUV (license plate T930PO) - Prigozhin was driving in one of them. The police officers demanded that the drivers stop, but they ignored their demands. As a result, the chase ended only after the BMW stopped near the sidewalk and a police car blocked its path. Inspectors checked the drivers' documents and removed special signals from the cars. All this time, there were men in masks and camouflage with the inscription FSB on the spot.

In the northern part of St. Petersburg on the night of Sunday, December 19, a Mercedes Gelandewagen and a BMW collided. From the impact, the Gelendvagen overturned and stood on its side. Three people traveling in the second foreign car were injured. A seemingly ordinary accident, which occurred due to speeding by both drivers, attracted the attention of the media due to two circumstances - the wrecked SUV was purchased for 12 million rubles less than 48 hours before the accident. And its owner is 18-year-old Pavel Prigozhin, the son of billionaire Yevgeny Prigozhin, who is considered the personal chef of Vladimir Putin.

"At the intersection of Piskarevsky and Bestuzhevskaya. A Gelendvagen AMG on its side and a BMW5 covered in pixel camouflage. The passenger's legs were pinched in it. The driver of the Gelika, a guy of about 20, said that he was driving through a red light," he said in the community "Road accidents and emergencies. St. Petersburg" an eyewitness who published photos and videos from the scene.

Fontanka found out that after the collision, young people got out of the Gelendvagen, promptly changed their license plates and waited for the support group. The SUV, unlike the sedan, after the accident was registered, was taken not to a special site, but to a car dealership.

The overturned Gelendvagen was put on wheels with the help of two tow trucks and sent to the Avangard car dealership on Primorsky Avenue. He is known, the publication clarifies, for his status as an official Mercedes-Benz dealer, cooperation with the FSO and the owner, former hockey player Maxim Sushinsky.

Fate, Fontanka regrets, has given the Gelendvagen a short life. It was purchased from Avangard less than 48 hours before the collision - on Friday, December 16, and was registered in the name of a legal entity called Olympus. The cost of such a car in a car dealership is 12 million rubles.

Pavel Evgenievich Prigozhin was driving, journalists found out, noting that a person with the same data is related to the circle of St. Petersburg billionaire Evgeny Prigozhin as his, Evgeny Prigozhin’s, son.

The heir to a major business empire has, until now, given little cause for discussion. His name was mentioned in the media in the early 2000s, when Yevgeny Prigozhin published the book “Indraguzik”, the authors of which were listed as ten-year-old Polina and four-year-old Pavel Prigozhin. Telling Delovoy Peterburg about the publication, Prigozhin Sr. noted that the text had been shortened during editorial editing. “What was not included in the book, for example, was how the Indraguziks drove a car - one sat on the mirror, the other pressed the pedals, turned the steering wheel, they got into an accident, they were detained, they were surprised, the inspectors fainted,” said the restaurateur.

This summer, Pavel Prigozhin appeared in an FBK investigation into the ownership of a 37-meter yacht by the Prigozhin family. One of the pieces of evidence included a photo of a naked person from the young man's Instagram.

Now the accounts of Prigozhin’s children are closed, and it is problematic to find out the reaction to Sunday’s incident. Fontanka suggests that they were unlikely to be pleased with the Gelendvagen’s repair estimate of 3-5 million rubles and the fact that Pavel is in the hospital.

According to preliminary data, a medical examination for alcohol gave a negative result. Traffic police inspectors came to the conclusion that both cars were driving in excess of the speed limit. “The intersection is controlled, and one of the participants in the accident drove through a prohibitory traffic light. However, it is premature to talk about the degree of guilt; the drivers have not yet been interviewed,” the department clarified.

Let us remember that Yevgeny Prigozhin is known for his large projects in the restaurant business. Thus, the Concord company, controlled by a businessman, previously received the right to execute a government contract for the organization of catering services in St. Petersburg and Moscow, including in schools and military units. In January 2016, the Anti-Corruption Foundation of oppositionist Alexei Navalny described a scheme as a result of which companies, according to the foundation, affiliated with Prigozhin, received contracts worth 40 billion rubles for servicing military camps. The businessman is also associated with organizing and financing the so-called troll factory in Olgino.

It is also alleged that Prigozhin’s people are behind the creation of an Internet file of oppositionists on which persecution has been announced, and a series of attacks on “dissenters” in St. Petersburg. The head of FBK, Alexei Navalny, links the attack on the husband of the Lyubov Sobol Foundation lawyer to Prigozhin. Sociologist Sergei Mokhovoy was attacked and exposed to an unknown drug in November.

The press refers to Prigozhin as one of Vladimir Putin’s “inner circle”. On the St. Petersburg restaurant ship New Island, which belonged to a businessman, in 2001, the Russian leader dined in the company of then French President Jacques Chirac, the media wrote, noting that Prigozhin personally served the heads of state - served and changed their plates. After this, his career began to take off, which Forbes magazine described in 2013, noting that in 11 years Prigozhin went from organizing status dinners for the head of state to the largest contractor for the Ministry of Defense.

Eyewitnesses claim that the car driven by the young driver greatly exceeded the speed limit. The Gelendvagen allegedly accelerated to 180 kilometers per hour and ran a red light. The car rammed a BMW that got in the way, overturned and stood on its side. Three people traveling in the second foreign car were injured. Traffic police inspectors later concluded that both cars were driving in excess of the speed limit.

This accident attracted media attention for two reasons. First: the wrecked SUV was purchased for 12 million rubles less than 48 hours before the accident. Second: 18-year-old Pavel Prigozhin is the son of billionaire Yevgeny Prigozhin, who is considered almost personal chef Vladimir Putin.

Eyewitness to the accident:

“At the intersection of Piskarevsky and Bestuzhevskaya, there’s a Gelendvagen AMG on its side and a BMW5, covered in pixel camouflage. The passenger's legs were pinned inside. The driver of the Gelika, a guy about 20 years old, said that he was driving on a red light,” he said in the “Road Accidents and Emergency. St. Petersburg" eyewitness who published photos and videos from the scene.

"Fontanka" I found out that after the collision, young people got out of the Gelendvagen, promptly changed their license plates and waited for the support group. The SUV, unlike the sedan, after the accident was registered, was taken not to a special site, but to a car dealership. Actually, it was bought from the same car dealership less than 48 hours before the collision, and it was registered to a legal entity called “Olympus”. The cost of such a car in a car dealership is 12 million rubles.

As for 18-year-old Pavel Prigozhin, the heir to a large business empire gave almost no reason for discussion. His name was mentioned in the media in the early 2000s, when Yevgeny Prigozhin published the book “Indraguzik”, the authors of which were listed as ten-year-old Polina and four-year-old Pavel Prigozhin. And this summer, Pavel appeared in an FBK investigation into the ownership of a 37-meter yacht by the Prigozhin family.

Now the accounts of Prigozhin’s children on social networks are closed, and it is problematic to find out the reaction to the incident. Fontanka suggests that they were unlikely to be pleased with the Gelendvagen’s repair estimate of 3-5 million rubles and the fact that Pavel is in the hospital. According to preliminary data, a medical examination for alcohol gave a negative result.

In St. Petersburg at night, I overturned a Mercedes Gelendvagen on December 18 at the corner of Piskarevsky and Bestuzhevskaya. Young people came out of the salon, quickly checked their numbers and waited for the support group. The Gelendvagen, unlike the other damaged foreign car, was taken not to a special site, but to a car dealership.

On the night of Sunday, December 18, a BMW and a Mercedes Gelandewagen collided at the intersection of Piskarevsky Prospekt and Bestuzhevskaya Street.

General picture of the incident

[life.ru, 12/18/2016, “The Gelendvagen overturned in a collision with a BMW in the east of St. Petersburg”: The SUV turned over on its side, the hood of the second foreign car, painted in khaki colors, was damaged. 20-year-old Olga V., who was in the front passenger seat of the BMW, was trapped in the car’s cabin. Rescuers rescued her using hydraulic equipment. The girl was taken to the International Medical Center SOGAZ, according to preliminary information, the victim may have leg fractures - K.ru insert]

As we learned from eyewitnesses, the main attention of the operational services was expectedly focused on the BMW, but there was also movement around the Gelendvagen.

“In addition to the young driver, there was one passenger in the cabin. They both came out, quickly tied up their numbers, and put them in the cabin,” the eyewitness said.

The Gelendvagen, overturned on its side, was put on its wheels by two tow trucks. The foreign car was loaded and taken to the Avangard car dealership on Primorsky Avenue. He is known for his status as an official dealer of Mercedes-Benz, cooperation with FSO(government contracts for the supply of spare parts are regularly concluded) and the owner is the former hockey player Maxim Sushinsky.

Fate gave the Gelendvagen a short life. It was purchased from Avangard less than 48 hours before the collision - on Friday, December 16. The car was registered to a legal entity with the popular name “Olympus”. The cost, judging by the official prices of the salon, is 12 million rubles.

A novice driver was behind the wheel of the Gelendvagen. His name is Pavel Evgenievich Prigozhin, he is 18 years old. A person with the same data is related to the environment of the St. Petersburg billionaire Evgenia Prigozhina as his, Yevgeny Prigozhin, son. Pavel rarely found himself in public space. In the early 2000s, Business Petersburg reported on the publication of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s book “Indraguzik”. On the cover the authors were named Polina and Pavel Prigozhin. As the businessman himself confirmed in the publication, the fairy tales for “Indraguzik” were invented by his ten-year-old daughter and four-year-old son. Prigogine Sr. also admitted that the publication had undergone cuts during editorial editing:

“What was not included in the book, for example, was how the Indraguziks drove a car - one sat on the mirror, the other pressed the pedals, turned the steering wheel, got into an accident, they were detained, surprised, the inspectors fainted,” the restaurateur told Business Petersburg. .

In the summer of 2016, Pavel, already matured, was brought out into public FBK investigation, which, among other things, studied social networks to confirm that the 37-meter yacht belonged to the Prigozhin family. Among the evidence was a photograph of a naked person from Pavel’s Instagram.

Now the accounts of Prigozhin’s children are closed, so it is problematic to find out the reaction to the night accident. But she's probably bleak. The repair estimate for Gelendvagen could amount to 3-5 million rubles, and Pavel is in the hospital. The medical examination for alcohol seemed to give a negative result.

A preliminary analysis of the accident by traffic police officers showed that both cars were clearly moving in excess of the speed limit established for the city. Eyewitnesses put it more simply:

“This Gelendvagen overtook me in front of this traffic light. He flew at least 180,” says network user Nina Savchenko, who, according to her, was driving an Audi Q7.
