1/ Yevgeny Prigozhin's business empire is rapidly being dismantled. It's lost its contract to provide (rotten, infected, adulterated) food to the Russian army, and his media empire is shutting down. Thousands of his staff have been made redundant, many with no severance pay. ⬇️

2/ Until Prigozhin's mutiny last month, his Concord Group was the Russian military's biggest food supplier. The Russian government paid it 845 billion rubles ($9.6 billion) under a contract with the Russian MOD's procurement arm, Voentorg. That has now been cancelled.

3/ Concord also has the dubious title of being the MOD's most-sued contractor, with 560 lawsuits being filed in 2022 alone for supplying the Russian army with food contaminated with bacteria, insects and worms, and scams such as substituted ingredients.

4/ "Look out, news" (ON) reports that Concord's many holding companies have been "working intermittently since 23 June and have been waiting for inspections, destroying documents in the meantime by order of the management.

"It was expected that the entire document flow should have been handed over to the new owners by 15 July . But yesterday the employees were told that because of the breakdown of the contract between Voentorg and Concord they would be dismissed."

5/ Concord's several thousand employees – who were engaged in feeding the military and supplying food to hospitals and to the occupied areas of Ukraine – have been dismissed with 'resignation letters', which are communicated strictly verbally, and no severance pay.

I like all verbal no written peocedures. They are still afraid and in chaos.
