Vladimir Putin’s ex-wife Lyudmila and her husband Artur Ocheretny, who is 20 years his junior, would travel around Europe in luxury to avoid sanctions. The German Bild writes it, citing the research of the activist Maria Pevchikh, an associate of the Russian dissident Alex Navalny. The newspaper presents a list of the couple’s luxury properties: millionaire apartments and villas in Biarritz, Davos and Marbella. All possessions would be in Ocheretny’s name and there are suspicions that he may have received them from Putin’s ex-wife to avoid possible sanctions. At the moment, the woman is only on the sanctions list in Great Britain. Bild then quotes Pevchikh’s appeal: “Immediately lock up the property of the Otscheretny family and investigate the origin of the money!”
