Multiple reports say that a journalist who was rumored to be the god-daughter of the president has left Russia.
According to the state-controlled media outlet, Ksenia Sobchak used an Israeli passport to enterLithuania.
According to an anonymous law-enforcement source, police searched her Moscow home as part of an extortion case against her colleague. There was an arrest warrant for her.
According to the report, Sobchak tried to confuse the police by buying tickets to other countries before fleeing to Lithuania by land.
Insider has been unable to verify the authenticity of the video on social media.
The commercial director of Sobchak's group was arrested and his house was searched.
She posted to Telegram that the case is nonsense and that there is pressure on journalism in the country.
The editor of a magazine was arrested in the same case.
The pair were accused of trying to extort money from the head of the defense conglomerate.
A well-known TV anchor and a well-known reality TV show host is named Sobchak. She made a bid for Russia's presidency, but she distanced herself from her image as "Russia's Paris Hilton".
She is the daughter of Anatoly Sobchak, who was the first post-Soviet mayor of St.Petersburg in the early 1990s.
Ksenia has been rumored to be Putin's god-daughter for a long time.
She ran for president as a way to give the impression of competitive elections in Russia, despite her liberal stance and criticism of Putin's government.
As of the invasion of Ukraine, independent journalism in the country has been silenced as a result of Putin's efforts to control the Russian media.
Sobchak has the right to stay inLithuania for 90 days.
Business Insider has an article on it.
