Abramovich is increasingly suffering from sanctions against Russia.
All this real estate is estimated by the French at almost $ 620 million. However, in reality the value of this property is approaching $ 1 billion.
“Based on the reports for the list of” Billionaires of the World “, as well as the history of purchase prices, their total value is estimated at 920 million dollars,” – said analysts.
, 31 of these real estate objects belong to 8 sanctioned oligarchs, including Roman Abramovich.
And the most powerful blockade hit Abramovich. His frozen property is valued at $ 340 million:
- the Château de la Croë estate on the French Riviera, with an area of almost 3,000 km for $ 250 million. It has 12 rooms and a swan-shaped bath. Previously, the estate belonged to British King Edward VIII;
- the Gouverneur estate in the territory of Saint Barthelemy, with an area of 28.33 hectares for $ 90 million. It has bungalows, several tennis courts and swimming pools.
“Abramovich may own other local real estate. For example, the estate of Le Lurin was also frozen by the French authorities. A local source said that he owns another house near the port city of Gustave, near Gouverneur. According to the same source, it seems that the estate was abandoned in the midst of its renovation, “analysts say.
In addition to Abramovich, the list of” France “included 7 other Russian oligarchs. In particular:
- Oleksiy Kuzmichev (Alfa Group Investment Consortium) – estimated value of frozen real estate: $ 57 million;
- Andriy Melnychenko (fertilizer manufacturer Eurochem, coal and energy company SUEK) – $ 80 million;
- Vadym Moshkovych (formerly Rusagro Agricultural and Food Company) – $ 6 million;
- Oleksandr Ponomarenko (Sheremetyevo International Airport) – $ 176 million;
- Viktor Rashnikov Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant “) – $ 200 million;
- Arkady Rotenberg (SMD Bank) – $ 62 million;
- Gennady Timchenko (Volga Group Investment Group) – the value of the frozen property has not been established.
Most of the frozen real estate is owned by billionaires through the French companies sociétés civiles immobilières (SCI). They are created exclusively for real estate ownership. Most of it is located on the French Riviera. .
We will remind, yesterday, on April 16 it became known that the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, who is taking part in the Ukrainian-Russian talks as a “mediator”, came to Kyiv to intensify them . President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi believes that the terrible truth that emerged after the liberation of Bucha and other cities in the Kyiv region has complicated the prospects for negotiations. And Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has said talks are “deadlocked” and he intends to continue the invasion.
Meanwhile, Abramovich is increasingly suffering from sanctions against RF. P However, Abramovich successfully avoided sanctions only in the United States , as Volodymyr Zelensky asked Biden not to impose sanctions on Abramovich because of his role in the negotiations.
In the EU things are much worse. On March 15, the EU imposed sanctions on a group of Russian oligarchs and major Russian business figures. Roman Abramovich also fell under them.
In addition, Britain imposed sanctions against seven Russian oligarchs: Deripaska and Abramovich were included in the list.
Later Abramovich's assets were blocked for 7 billion dollars in the tax offshore of Jersey, which is under British jurisdiction.
Sanctions against the oligarch-negotiator Abramovich were also imposed by Australia.
In addition, Portugal is checking the legality of granting citizenship to Roman Abramovich.
