Mystery surrounds the death of Moscow Stock Exchange marketing chief

On Tuesday (30 July), Russian media reported the death of Georgy Chibisov. The head of marketing at the Moscow Stock Exchange went missing Saturday evening after a boat trip. His body was found the following day.

Russian media reported on Tuesday that Georgy Chibisov, a businessman and head of marketing for the Moscow Stock Exchange, tragically passed away. The incident occurred Saturday evening when the 44-year-old disappeared after a boat trip.

According to the portal rbc.ru, Chibisov sent his wife a troubling message, claiming that he was "going for a walk," and then vanished without a trace.

His concerned wife promptly notified the police. Chibisov’s friends, who accompanied him on a walk along the river, testified that they saw him board a boat leaving the dock, after which he fell into the water. They initially attempted to search for him themselves but eventually called rescuers.

The body of the 44-year-old was found the next day. Moscow investigators have launched a criminal investigation into Chibisov's death, alleging "violation of traffic safety regulations and the operation of water transport, resulting in a person's death due to negligence."

This is not the first such incident. In recent years, there have been numerous reports of mysterious deaths among leading Russian businessmen, particularly those connected to the fuel industry.

Just a few days ago, media reported the discovery of the body of a former manager of one of the banks, 72-year-old Alexander Kolpakov. Preliminary information suggested that the cause of death was cancer.

Chibisov's death has shaken the Russian business world, sparking numerous speculations about the reasons for his sudden disappearance and tragic death.
