According to journalists, hotels, villas and private jets of oligarchs who support the Kremlin’s policies can be seen in France and Italy.
Five-star hotels of Russian oligarchs in Europe continue their work after the sanctions or successfully correspond with the managers. We will talk about the properties of billionaires close to the Kremlin in Italy and France. This was reported in the “Ukraine Truth” research.
According to journalists, private jets of oligarchs who continue to support the Kremlin’s policies can be seen in these countries.
Hotels in France Gennady Timchenko and his wife
The investigation says that Russian oligarch Gennady Timchenko, one of Vladimir Putin’s best friends, is one of the 10 richest people in Russia. He and his wife are under “maximum sanctions”.
Timchenko is reportedly a hotel chain currently operating in France. For example, in Le Lavandou there is a five-star hotel “Club de Cavaliere and Spa”. Its main owner is Timchenko’s wife, Elena.
According to journalists, in March 2023 the hotel was not working. But five months later, tourists vacationing there were noticed.
“Characterized by discreet luxury and indescribable charm, the Hotel Club de Cavalière and Spa rises imposingly on the shore of a beautiful fine sand beach,” the hotel’s website says.
The publication reported that the hotel appeared to have received an operating license from the French government. Also, another hotel of the Timchenko family, located near the resort of Courchevel, continues to operate. We are talking about the institution “Grand Coeur and Spa”. The website says it offers guests “a high level of 4-star service.”
According to journalists, both hotels are controlled by the same company, whose head is Timchenko’s wife, Elena. However, after February 24, 2022, after sanctions were imposed on him, he resigned but remained the beneficiary. The French records on the decision of the company management report that the money from the operation of the hotels will not go directly to Elena Timchenko or through intermediaries.
Hotels in Italy by Vladimir Yevtushenkov
The investigation says that Vladimir Evshutenkov is a Russian billionaire who is a co-owner of a business that provides radio equipment to the Russian Ministry of Defense. There is a hotel in Forte dei Marmi called Dalmazia beach club. It belongs to a company owned by a person close to Yevtushenkov. Until December 2022, the hotel belonged to the company Intourist, which is part of the Yevshutenkov concern.
It is reported that not far from the Dalmazia beach club there is another five-star Principe hotel, which until the end of 2022 belongs to the Yevtushenkov concern. Now it belongs to the Russian “Hotel-Holding”, registered in 2022. The owner of the holding is Elena Brusilova, known as Yevtushenkov’s common-law wife.
The Principe enterprise is reportedly currently operating. According to journalists, there are a lot of vacationers, including tourists from Russia. The cost of a room in this hotel is about 1900 Euros per night. The company, which owns the hotel in 2022, achieved a record revenue of approximately 11 million euros.
Journalists noted that the Kronstadt company, which produces UAVs, is affiliated with Yevtushenkov’s enterprise.
Villa in Saint Tropez, Andrey Bokarev
The publication reported that Andrei Bokarev is a Russian oligarch, who until 2017 was a co-owner of the Kalashnikov concern. It is also the co-owner of TransMashHolding. Also, Bokarev and Yevtushenkov attended a meeting with Putin in the Kremlin on the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Bokarev family reportedly owned a villa in Saint-Tropez. From there, in July 2023, Bokarev’s ex-wife Olga began posting photos on social media. According to journalists, the woman has been resting there for more than a month. Bokarev’s daughter and friend are also there. It is noteworthy that this friend is the grandson of another Russian oligarch, the owner of the CSK Moscow football club Evgeny Giner.
The investigation says that the families of Russian oligarchs like to rest in the Opera club on the Cote d’Azur, in Saint-Tropez. It is noted that the club sometimes turns on air raid alerts for entertainment for guests.
Recall that earlier it was reported that the families of the former officials of Ukraine were noticed in Monaco. Journalists noticed a large number of expensive cars on Ukrainian license plates in a new investigation. At the same time, some citizens who remained in the kingdom during the war began to replace their registration with a foreign one in order to avoid unnecessary attention.
