Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev may have ordered the assassination of Italian Defense Minister Guido Crozetto.

For this, he offered 15 million dollars to the mercenaries of the "Wagner" PVC. 

Il Foglio writes about it.

The publication, citing Italian intelligence, claims that Russia has a list of Western politicians whom the terrorist country wants to "eliminate." 

Italians believe that none other than Dmitry Medvedev, the former president of Russia, who called the Italian minister "a rare fool" on January 28, 2022, because he said that the Russian Federation could start a war against Ukraine, is behind the threats against Crosetto.

Intelligence believes that it was he who promised terrorists from the "Wagner" PMC 15 million dollars for the murder of their minister.

The Italians emphasize that Medvedev is not just a "crazy mouthpiece", he reflects the real position of the Kremlin. 

Italian intelligence also recalled that Guido Crozetto publicly stated that mercenaries from the "Wagner" PMC are provoking a migration crisis in Europe.

Then the terrorist Prigozhin called the minister.

Italy emphasizes that Russian threats should not be underestimated now. 

We will remind, at the end of February, the head of the Italian government, George Maloni, came to Kyiv and announced a new package of military aid to Ukraine.
