Russian President Vladimir Putin (R) listens to his press secretary Dmitry Peskov in 2016.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says his son fought in Ukraine. 
  • Peskov's son, Nikolai Choles, said he joined the Wagner mercenary group. 
  • But reports say at the same time his luxury car was racking up parking fines in Moscow. 

The son of Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has been accused of falsely claiming to have been fighting in Ukraine, when he was actually driving his luxury Tesla around Moscow, reports say.
