Russian oligarch Roman Abramowitsch has owned a villa on Lake Fuschl for years. It now appears that he chose a complex financial construction for the purchase.
The route leads directly to Salzburg! The international research project “Cyprus Confidential” searched millions of documents for months. This evidence: Rich Russians and Ukrainians discreetly bought expensive properties through shell companies with Cypriot addresses. The centerpiece is the Fuschlsee villa of Russian billionaire Roman Abramowitsch.
The property is located on the southern shore of the lake. The three-part house includes more than two hectares of forest and almost 6,600 square meters of agricultural land. According to the land registry, the property is owned by Anna Abramowitsch. She is the daughter of the Russian oligarch. A British citizen bought the lakeside villa 16 years ago. In 2017, Anna Abramowitsch received the property as a gift from the British woman.
According to research by “Cyprus Confidential”, the British woman would have been just a straw woman for the oligarch. Abramowitsch is said to have used a nested construction to purchase his villa in Fuschl. The British woman was apparently the trustee of a company based in the British Virgin Islands. Cost of the villa: almost eleven million euros.
See-Villa has been empty for several months
The building itself has been vacant for quite some time. This also became apparent during a local inspection of “Krone” a few months ago. The mailbox was then full of letters and brochures. “His daughter Anna officially lives in the house. If the famous father himself shows up here, you really can’t miss it. “He travels to Fuschl with a huge entourage,” neighbors tell “Krone”.
Roman Abramowitsch himself did not want to comment on the matter when asked. He is considered a close confidante of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
