The Hamburg authorities commented very evasively on Forbes’ news about the confiscation of Alisher Usmanov’s yacht. They reported that there was no confiscation as such, but the ship would not be allowed to sail anywhere. The $600 million yacht Dilbar is currently undergoing scheduled repairs at the docks in Hamburg. A source from the Cheka-OGPU believes that the European authorities will have big problems with Usmanov’s assets. “His yacht, plane, three houses in Germany, etc. are registered to offshore companies, and even if you “shove through” all the chains of companies whose data has been “leaked,” you will not find a direct connection with Usmanov and his companies. Officially, Usmanov rents houses, a yacht and a plane from these offshore companies, and has all the necessary documents. All such issues will be resolved in the courts and I have doubts that they will be easy for the European authorities.”
As for three houses on the shores of the picturesque Lake Tegernsee in Bavaria, interesting details are being revealed. As it turned out, Svetlana Medvedeva, the wife of Dmitry Medvedev, visited one of these houses. Maybe this house was purchased for her.
Why does Usmanov need three houses that are not neighboring?
It’s simple. Villa 1: Usmanov owns a stately villa with a double balcony and green shutters on Fischerstrasse on the lakeside, complete with a boathouse. He acquired it through Tegernsee (IOM) Limited (Isle of Man) and completely rebuilt it for himself, investing a total of 20 million euros. This is the house of Usmanov himself
Villa 2: According to the oligarch’s neighbors, he is usually accompanied by 7-8 bodyguards, as well as drivers, servants, cooks, etc. etc. Usmanov did not want to live in the same household with them and bought a villa nearby (on Forellenstrasse) for 6.5 million euros for the servants. The house is to be demolished and replaced with a new building. However, Usmanov limited himself to repairs.
Villa 3: Usmanov has relatives, friends after all. He also didn’t really want to place them under the same roof with himself. But you can’t send him to the servants either. So he bought another villa on Gangoferstrasse. However, there is reason to believe that in reality the villa is intended for just one very important guest. It was in this villa that Svetlana Medvedeva was seen.
By the way, one of the events due to which sanctions were applied against Usmanov was Dmitry Medvedev’s article. The paragraph reads: “When Mr. Usmanov took control of the daily newspaper Kommersant, editorial freedom was limited and the newspaper took a decidedly pro-Kremlin stance. Kommersant, controlled by Mr. Usmanov, published an anti-Ukrainian propaganda article by Dmitry Medvedev, in which the former Russian president argued that it was pointless to negotiate with the current Ukrainian authorities, which, in his opinion, were under direct foreign control. Therefore, he actively supported the Russian government’s policies to destabilize Ukraine.”
