So, Prigozhin hired Discreet Law to sue investigative reporter Eliot Higgins who has been left with £70,000 in legal costs despite the case being dropped.

Higgins's website Bellingcat had recently published a story naming Prigozhin, aka Putin's chef, as the man behind the Wagner Group.

The cost of legal fees prevents most people from seeking justice.

He employs himself. Higgins is the founder of Bellingcat, which has pissed off Russia quite a bit recently.
