According to the TRACFIN report, a specialized agency to combat money laundering, the daughter of a Russian billionaire Kerimov spent $ 279 million on the acquisition of chic villas, and most of the money was received from her brother Said.

" "The Tracfin report to which you refer is concerned with restructuring conducted in full transparency with the competent authorities in order to comply with all the current rules," Sichov said.
The new investigation completes the unsuccessful month for the Kerimov family, which by the beginning of this year had a controlling stake in PJSC "Polyuszoloto", the largest gold -productive company of Russia.
