Patriarch Kirill is mentioned in the federal tax system of the Russian Federation under the pseudonym Ivan Prokhorov. This data was found by journalists of "Nastoyashcheye Vremya" and "Radio Svoboda", reports UNN referring to the Telegram channel "System".
Details
The fact that Patriarch Kirill (in the world Vladimir Gundyaev) is registered in the Russian tax system as Ivan Zakharovich Prokhorov can be verified in the open database of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation.
The remaining data of the church representative, including the TIN and date of birth, match Gundyaev's data.
According to investigative journalists, until now, only security officials and government officials have used tax pseudonyms. This is the first time this has been noticed among church representatives. The goal, as a rule, is one: concealing income and property.
