In an article, Bild says she “is aware of the secret report on the criminal machinations of the Kremlin-affiliated monks on Mount Athos”.
The same article predicts that “Mount Athos is a sealed, sacred place of the Christian Orthodox Church – and it hides a dark side: the Kremlin is buying more and more influence there, Russian oligarchs are coming and carrying out criminal activities.”
Putin himself has been there several times – the priests speak of a “blessed” moment about his visit, according to Bild.
Bild says that it “is aware of a detailed classified report on the criminal activities of the monks associated with the Kremlin on Mount Athos – in addition to money laundering, deals with human trafficking, arms, and human trafficking”.
