Paranoid Vladimir Putin has beefed up his personal security, raising fears that he will launch a bloody purge against Wagner's insurgents.
The head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led the abandoned rebellion, is said to be a "dead man walking" after going into exile in Belarus.
Some of Putin's defense officials, who may be suspected of being very close to the mercenary leader, may also "disappear", the sources claim.
A number of senior Wagner Group executives and a handful of oligarchs are also believed to have been assigned to the Russian president's hit squads.
A Western security source told the Mirror: " There is a growing belief that Prigozhin will leave in a few months, maybe sooner, and many others as well. He was allowed to go to Belarus to silence him. It is possible that he will be allowed to get comfortable in Minsk and then be treated, as Putin has a lot of influence with the Belarusian authorities ."
" But we also believe that some of the oligarchs may have been aware of what Prigozhin was doing. They may even have supported it and then removed that support at some point ," it added. /Mirror
