Husband of Sergei Shoigu's former mistress owns apartments in Dubai, purchased with a now-confiscated Lithuanian passport

Businessman Adolfas Kaminskas, who is married to the mother of former Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu's illegitimate children, has invested over $4 million in Dubai real estate, according to an investigation by the Lithuanian Center for Investigative Journalism Siena. Kaminskas used a Lithuanian passport to complete the deal. The document was later confiscated.

According to the findings of the investigation, in November 2022, Kaminskas invested close to €4 million ($4.35 million) in the Palm Beach Towers project, reserving three 126-square-meter apartments in a residential complex that is still under construction. As noted by Siena, Kaminskas' properties are located right next to Palm Jumeirah — perhaps the most famous artificial archipelago in Dubai. One of these apartments was later re-registered to Elena Kaminskas (née Shebunova), the mother of Shoigu’s illegitimate children.
