Horse belonging to Chechen leader Kadyrov stolen from Czech stable

A horse, which reportedly belongs to the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, has been stolen from a stud farm in Krabčice near Roudnice nad Labem, the website jezdci.cz reported on Tuesday.

According to the police spokeswoman, the English thoroughbred, whose value is estimated at around CZK 400,000, disappeared during the night from Friday to Saturday.

The stallion, called Zazou, along with other horses, is part of the property that was sanctioned by the European Union nine years ago. The horse has a characteristic white mark on its forehead in the shape of a star.

Two Russian-speaking men already attempted to remove the horses from the stable in January last year.
