Former Russian Transport Minister Roman Starovoit was found dead in his car with a gunshot wound, just hours after being dismissed from his position by President Vladimir Putin.

Russian authorities reported the death of Roman Starovoyt, former transport minister, by apparent suicide, shortly after his dismissal by President Vladimir Putin.

The DOJ and FBI’s recent review, concluding no “client list” and confirming Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide, has ignited a firestorm of skepticism and distrust, and frankly, who is really surprised? It’s a conclusion that feels less like an impartial finding and more like a calculated effort to protect certain individuals. The narrative has been built around an absence – the lack of a list – and a definitive pronouncement of suicide, and this is where the seeds of doubt truly blossom. The idea that a figure like Epstein, entangled in such a web of influence and power, simply took his own life without any further investigation feels far-fetched to many.… Continue reading
Tyler Webb, 23, has become the first person sentenced under the Online Safety Act 2023, receiving a nine-year and four-month prison sentence with a hospital order for encouraging serious self-harm and suicide online. After grooming his victim in an online forum, Webb persuaded her to self-harm and repeatedly instructed her to attempt suicide over a live video call, which failed. The judge described Webb’s actions as sexually motivated, and the CPS noted Webb’s digital devices contained disturbing images, reflecting his dangerous and manipulative behavior. This case marks a critical test of the new legislation, which aims to combat harmful online content, and it has opened the door for similar charges against others.
