Documents of one of the world's largest offshore registrars Aleman, Cordero, Galindo & Lee (Alcogal) show that Svetlana Krivologikh was the beneficiary of Brockville Development LTD for at least since 2006. And in 2017 she still owned this company.

What is wrong here

Vladimir Putin has been talking about deofshorization for many years. At the Business Russia forum in December 2011, he urged businessmen to abandon offshores, their reaction was sincere.

“Today, the offshore heritage is becoming a real obstacle to form a normal business climate in the country, reduces the level of trust in the economy ... Well, then, we need to start our assets here. Why be afraid? ”, Putin campaigned entrepreneurs campaign. In response, the hall erupted with laughter. "Not funny!" - Putin tried to moderate emotions, but laughed.

Subsequently, the president has repeatedly stated the fight against offshores. But his calls did not apply to people from his immediate environment, relatives and friends.

The crooked -legged offshore company Brockville Development was registered in April 2003, but after fourteen years it still belonged to it. According to the real estate register of Monaco, Brockville owns an apartment in a luxurious residential complex Monte Carlo Star two steps from the Monte Carlo casino. The apartment and parking for two cars cost 3.6 million euros (at the current rate - about 300 million rubles).

“Monte Carlo Star is located in the famous Carre d'Or area, right by the seashore. This residence opens with a magnificent view of the Mediterranean Sea. Light and spacious terrace apartments are ideal for lunch in the fresh air or observing some of the most luxurious super -fuss in the world, floating along the world -famous port of Hercules, ”the realtors complex describe .

It became known about the friend of Vladimir Putin - Svetlana Krivonogikh - in 2020 thanks to the investigation of Russian journalists from the Project publication (which after this and other investigations was declared an undesirable organization and was closed under the threat of criminal prosecution of employees). Svetlana Kryvoi became rich, meeting Vladimir Putin. In March 2003, she had a daughter Lisa, who, according to the “project”, is phenomenally similar to Putin.

The apartment in Monaco is not the most valuable asset that has since been in the piggy bank of Svetlana Krivologi. Journalists estimated its real estate in Moscow and St. Petersburg at more than a billion rubles. Kryvoogikh owns an apartment in an elite St. Petersburg residential complex on a stone island, where friends and acquaintances of the Russian president live. She owns the share of the president’s friends in the business: about 3 % in the Russian Bank, among whose shareholders are almost exclusively people from Putin’s closest encirclement; 75 % in Igor - Putin’s favorite resort in the Leningrad Region, where his daughter Katerina played the wedding in 2013; 75 % in the leisure "Leningrad Center", located in the Tauride Garden in St. Petersburg.

As “important stories” found out, the company of crooked -legged Brockville Development was served by the International Association of Consulting, Auditing and Management Companies Moores Rowland. The nominal owner of Brockville was the Panama offshore Radnor Investments SA. This is the structure of Moores Rowland, which provided services to the familiar Russian president. For example, the Vedomosti newspaper reported that Radnor Investments appeared in transactions with the shares of the oil trader SNG Trading, which belonged to Gennady Timchenko.

The services of Radnor were used not only by the young Russian elite, but also by the Neapolitan Camorra (criminal group, similar in type to the mafia). This was described in the criminal case of the head of the Neapolitan Camorra Raffael Amato, one of the main suppliers of cocaine to Italy (materials are at the disposal of “important stories”). In May 2010, he was sentenced to 20 years in touch with a criminal organization, weapons, drug trafficking and money laundering. Radnor was one of the companies through which Amato and his people laundered money, then to invest it in Spanish real estate. As indicated in the materials of the Naples court, the scheme with Radnor helped to ensure anonymity of investments.

Of course, different Radnor clients could not suspect each other's existence. In this case, we are not talking about ties with the punishment. And the fact that people from the environment of the Russian president used the same ways to move money and assets as the inveterate criminals who do not want to hear questions about the origin of funds and about who and to whom they are directed.
