Identity of right-hand man who 'knows all Vladimir Putin's secrets' revealed
Boris Chalov, 66, an FSO federal protection service adjutant, has been the Kremlin's closest aide-de-camp for decades - helping him with both state affairs and everyday issues The identity of the man who 'knows all Vladimir Putin 's secrets' after having closely worked with him for decades has been revealed. Boris Chalov, 66, an FSO federal protection service adjutant, has been the Kremlin 's closest aide-de-camp for more than 20 years, helping him with both state affairs and the 'most delicate everyday problems'. The right-hand man undertook duties minding Putin's longtime lover, Olympic rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, 41, on her trips, reveals a new report by Dossier Centre investigative news outlet. Kabaeva has two sons - Ivan, ten, and Vladimir junior, five - with Putin, but her role as Russia 's first lady living behind the walls of his palaces remains officially undisclosed to ordinary people. Chalov was also trusted with escorting Putin's earlier lover Svetlana Krivonogikh, 50, a cleaner turned £75 million multimillionaire, who now holds shares in a top bank and owns a prominent St Petersburg striptease club. This pair entered into a relationship whilst Putin was married to ex-first lady Lyudmila, mother of his eldest daughters Maria Vorontsova, 39, and Katerina Tikhonova, 38. From the relationship with Krivonogikh, Putin has another daughter Luiza, 22, who is believed to have lived in the West for at least part of the war against Ukraine. Chalov 'has been working with Putin for more than 20 years and probably knows all his secrets', said Dossier Centre. The role of adjutant was to 'help him with both state affairs and everyday issues'. Before his retirement on a £6,800-a-month pension, Chalov was 'a constant companion of the Russian leader', yet he still remains 'close to the head of state'. When Putin hosted the FIFA World Cup final 2018, the aide-de-camp was sitting right behind him and French president Emmanuel Macron. While also helping the Russian ruler with work issues, Chalov also solved his 'most delicate everyday problems', a Dossier source close to the special services said. After his stint in the army, he is believed to have met Putin whilst working as a bodyguard for a mafia-linked company Baltic Escort in gangster-ridden 1990s St Petersburg, where Putin was deputy mayor. Chalov later was employed by the FSO, an agency responsible for guarding Putin and other top officials. 'The guard was entrusted with Vladimir Putin 's main secret - his beloved women. And two at once,' reported Dossier Centre. 'For many years, he accompanied the most important people in Vladimir Putin's entourage, including the mother of his sons, Alina Kabaeva.' Records of such trips have come to light from between 2014 and 2016. 'The adjutant also knew the mother of another of Vladimir Putin's children,' said the report. 'He travelled from Moscow to St. Petersburg twice with Svetlana Krivonogikh, who owns a stake in Bank Rossiya and who gave birth to a daughter from the head of state. One of their joint trips was a flight in December 2001.' Chalov's pension is 'unusual' because it is paid by Krivonogikh's bank. 'The former adjutant is also well acquainted with the founder of this bank and Putin's close friend, Yuri Kovalchuk, who is responsible for many presidential palaces,' reported Dossier Centre. 'He not only worked for Rossiya in the late 1990s, but also travelled with the businessman.'

Food safety takes a hit in Puducherry as all officer posts lying vacant
PUDUCHERRY: The food safety department in Puducherry has come to a standstill due to a severe staff shortage, raising concerns about the hygiene of food served across the Union Territory. The department currently has no Food Safety Officers (FSOs) or support staff. The only person handling operations is Dr Balakrishnan, the Designated Officer (DO), who is serving on deputation from the Food and Drugs Testing Laboratory (FDTL). Of the eight sanctioned FSO posts, all are vacant. The last two FSOs, Dhanaraj and Ravichandran, retired in 2021 and 2024 respectively, and have not been replaced. Without manpower, the department is unable to issue registration certificates and licences, conduct regular inspections or monitor street food vendors and hotels in all four regions of the UT. 'We conduct inspections only when there are complaints and staff from the FDTL assist during those occasions,' said Dr Balakrishnan. The situation is especially worrying given the rise in unlicensed food stalls across Puducherry. Many roadside vendors operate without mandatory registration or licences under the Food Safety and Standards Act. Vendors with annual sales below Rs 12 lakh must register, and those above need a licence. With no staff to enforce the rules, these norms are routinely flouted, said a retired official. Inspections carried out before the retirement of the two FSOs found several violations. A prominent hotel on Beach Road was among the establishments penalised for storing non-vegetarian food in unhygienic conditions and failing to maintain proper refrigeration. A retired food safety inspector revealed that several vendors reuse cooking oil multiple times and even purchase used oil from big hotels to cut costs. 'Food is often left uncovered, prepared in unsanitary conditions and exposed to flies and dust. Fruits and vegetables sold in markets were also found to be chemically adulterated," he said. 'We urgently need proper staff and basic infrastructure. The DO alone cannot manage everything across the four regions,' said a senior official on condition of anonymity. Sources in the department said the process to recruit new FSOs has been initiated and the file has been sent to the government for approval.

SMJ Energy's 2024 profit surges to RM362 million amid market uncertainties.
KOTA KINABALU (April 22): SMJ Energy Sdn Bhd (SMJ Energy) announced its unaudited financial results for the year ended 31 December 2024, reporting a profit after tax of RM362 million compared to RM259 million in 2023, an almost 40% jump in profit. The result demonstrates the company's robust performance despite volatile global energy markets, driven by strategic asset optimization, disciplined cost management and robust revenue growth. SMJ Energy's revenue surged year-on-year, propelled by strong contributions from flagship assets Samarang Production Sharing Contract (PSC), LNG Train 9 liquefaction plant, Petronas Chemical Fertilizer Sabah Sdn Bhd (PCFSSB) and Floating Production & Storage (FPSO) and Floating Storage Operation (FSO) from debt free Sabah International Petroleum (SIP). Sabah's Minister of Finance and Chairman of SMJ Energy, Datuk Seri Panglima Masidi Manjun credited this achievement to the dedication of a professional team working in close collaboration with key stakeholders, including Petronas. Given the balanced portfolio consisting of Upstream, LNG, Petchem and FPSO/FSO, SMJ Energy's financials will remain robust even in a low oil price scenario. However, he cautioned vigilance regarding the external environment, particularly the ongoing global tariff war and fluctuating oil prices. 'The volatility in global oil markets highlights the importance of maintaining our proactive risk management and prudent investment strategies,' he stated. In addition to building a profitable oil and gas business, SMJ Energy is actively supporting the state in improving local contents in the oil and gas services and equipment (OGSE) sector in Sabah without compromising costs, safety, quality and schedules. The total value of jobs awarded to Sabahan companies reached RM2 billion last year compared with RM613 million in 2021.
