While the State Duma is trying to find out the damage from the sanctions, we will tell you who definitely did not suffer from them. Bankster VTB Andrey Kostin, although he suffers losses, but the stolen money will be enough for him and his relatives for several generations to come: the head of the state bank turned out to be connected with a network of offshore companies that owns Russian and European real estate, as well as other assets worth $100 million. In the Kostin collection:
The Tannenhof hotel in the Alps, where a night costs about $6,000. Until 2015, the hotel was directly owned by VTB.
Villa near Saint-Tropez
Apartment in Paris on the Seine embankment
Mansion and winery in CrimeaDe jure, the real estate is recorded at face value – Canadian Eric White. He owns a string of firms in the British Virgin Islands that were used to manage Russian assets linked to VTB. However, White is not just a face value for Kostin, but a real confidant: his companies disposed of Moscow real estate associated with the bankster, including an apartment in Moscow owned by Kostin’s mistress, Naila Asker-Zade.
