This is all by design for Putin. Your average person thinks that "There is no way he would kill him, do it now, poison him etc" This is a theme of Putin because logically you don't do things like this so in the open. Putin does because it sends a message and everybody then knows it's Putin. Same thing with Prigozhin. The guy supposedly made some sort of retirement deal to spend the winters in Belarus but low and behold, someone may have forgotten to fuel the plane and replace the alternator on the engine and it fell out of the sky.
I am kidding of course but that is the way it goes. In Putin's Russia, he literally took the richest, most powerful oligarch person in Russia and sent them to prison for like 10 years or more. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was the owner of Yukos oil. It sends a message to the rest of the gang to fall in line.
It's complete opposite of what happens in America. In the US, the rich and powerful run the country and the politicians. In Russia? Putin doesn't care and literally kills you and sends your friends and family to prison with the rats
