Russian security agents raided the extravagant residence of the former Vladimir Putin ally, uncovering a plethora of interesting items. Photos from the raid show gold bars, wads of foreign currency, weapons and ammunition, a giant sledgehammer, a photo of severed heads, a stuffed alligator, and a closet full of wigs, among other things.

Izvestia released footage of the raid, which was obtained by the Daily Mail. Prigozhin was allowed to leave Russia for exile in Belarus following his failed mutiny last month in which he marched his forces toward Moscow, ostensibly to capture or overthrow Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov. However, on Thursday, Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko announced that the Wagner chief was currently in Russia, TASS reported.
