The article discusses how an elite Russian military unit's network was exposed due to a mistake, following the arrest of a key officer involved in overseas operations.
The article from 'Lrytas' examines the unearthing of the intricate network of Center 795, noted as one of the most clandestine units of the Russian military, responsible for executing crucial operations. Much of the unit is comprised of elite officials from the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) and officers from the Federal Security Service (FSB), who engage in activities ranging from intelligence gathering to covert operations.
'Рhe Insider' reports on how they successfully identified nearly all personnel associated with Center 795, their locations, sponsors, and operational details. The breakthrough came after the arrest of one of the unit's most significant officers, Alimov, in Colombia. He was known for orchestrating assassinations and kidnappings abroad and is currently awaiting extradition to the United States to face charges related to a plot to kill two critics of Vladimir Putin's regime who had fled Russia.
Additionally, Alimov reportedly maintained personal ties with Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, which adds a layer of complexity to his operations. His most recent assignment with Center 795 is believed to have involved coordinating actions against the head of the Chechen government in exile, Akhmed Zakayev, who resides in the U.S. This development highlights the ongoing geopolitical tensions and the lengths to which Russia will go to eliminate its opponents, even abroad.
