The Richard Mille RM 52-01, a limited edition “tourbillon skull” watch that retails for an estimated $620,000, has placed Vladimir Putin’s press spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, in the midst of corruption accusations.
Photographs on social media of newly wed Peskov kissing his bride, former Olympic gold medalist skater Tatyana Navka, on their wedding day on Saturday, Aug. 1, revealed the high-end watch. Opposition leader Alexey Navalny quickly took to Twitter to highlight the issue. Navalny pointed out that the watch is worth more than four times Peskov’s reported salary.
What we see in the photographs from 'the wedding of the year' isn't a simple wedding but a classic example of 'illegal enrichment.'
