RuLeaks.net = WikiLeaks Russia Blocked Over Putin Palace

Russia’s RuLeaks.net website was blocked on Wednesday following publication of photos of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s alleged $1 billion an Italian-style palace on the Black Sea coast. PHOTOS

A Washington Post quoted a Russian whistleblower named Sergei Kolesnikov as saying the palace was predominantly paid for with money donated by Russian businessmen for Putin’s use. The funds have come “mainly through a combination of corruption, bribery and theft,” charged Kolesnikov, a businessman who until November 2009 worked for one of the companies he alleges was investing money for Putin.
A Putin spokesman later dismissed the report, saying the building in question had nothing to do with Putin.
