Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov thinks there may be some nefarious conspiracy against him that allowed “horse thieves” in the Czech Republic to kidnap his treasured stallion.
In a post on Telegram, Ramzan Kadyrov lamented that his poor horse had now been victimized twice - first in 2014, when he was added to a list of sanctioned assets.
The “beautiful and noble animal” has now suffered a second time, he said, due to a suspicious plot by unknown forces.
“Today it turns out that Zazou was stolen by unknown people. How is that possible? Was he being kept on some remote farm so they could take him so easily? Where is the security? Where are the gallant police with democratically efficient and advanced investigative methods?” the Chechen leader asked.
He went on to dispute reports that Zazou was worth about $18,000, insisting the prized horse is actually worth no less than $10 million.
“I don’t believe in coincidences. The horse thieves are unique somehow: stupid enough to steal a sanctioned horse and cunning enough so that the police do not find them. I do not believe it,” Kadyrov said, fretting over the stallion “falling into the wrong hands.”
