During the programme, called “60 Minutes,” which aired on Rossiya-1 TV on Wednesday, lawmakers and guests accused Prigozhin of criminal activity and labelled him a traitor.
The footage showed a range of items seized during the raids, including a collection of wigs and souvenir sledgehammers.
The programme’s hosts claimed the footage was evidence of hypocrisy on Prigozhin’s part, given his previous accusations of corruption in the armed forces.
Prigozhin, who had attempted to seize power in Russia by toppling senior officials, was meant to relocate to Belarus as part of a deal with the Kremlin.
However, he no longer appears to be in Belarus.
