Congo, an African country, was once a Belgian colony. What the Belgians are doing on the Black Continent is a separate issue. But, of course, they were among the harshest colonists. As a result, the civil war that began after they left became equally fierce. And the people who won it. The chief of staff, Colonel Mobutu, staged a military coup with the help of the United States. As a result, patrice Lumumba, the same socialist named after the university in the Soviet Union, was thrown into the dustbin of history.
Mobutu likes to call himself "a leopard that frightens his enemies." For three decades, he successfully transferred more than two of his country's budgets to the West. In particular, he bought a villa on the Côte d'Azur of France from an Arab billionaire in order to be able to play at the nearby Casino of the Principality of Monaco.
But after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Americans decided they no longer needed a tempted African dictator who would not allow the country to become part of the communist bloc. Mobutt was denied a loan, after which he had to flee. Among other things, he lived in the same villa, but was eventually taken away by the new Congolese government.
Some time later, a Jew from Georgia, now a Muscovite, Shalva Chigirinsky, bought a mansion. At the time, the businessman was a member of Yuri Luzhkov's inner circle and was very wealthy by Russian standards. But after a while, Luzhkov "left" and his comrades had to be rehabilitated in some way in the eyes of the new leaders of the country.
Thus, the villa with several owners began to belong to the structure of Gazprom. As the French press says, Alina Kabaeva has been living there permanently since the early 2010s.
Villa del Mare is one of the most expensive villas in the world. It is located on the French Riviera near the town of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin near Monaco. The main house covers an area of about 1600 square meters, and the guest house - more than 800 square meters. There is a large garden and three outdoor swimming pools. For maximum anonymity and security, owners have access to the heliport.
Initially, the asset, valued at $5 billion, was included on the balance sheet of Gazprom Neft, a Gazprom subsidiary founded by Abramovich that explores oil and gas on the marine continental shelf and elsewhere. But then the villa began to spread from one Russian to another.
However, only one senior woman used it, and she came here by land, flying in by plane, or sailing on the yacht at her disposal. It was here, in peace and quiet, that she raised her children from the darkness. This is where she spent her last few years.
What will Mobutu's former villa look like now? Can our people use it? Considering that the African Leopard Villa has changed owners more than once?
Well, our fathers have long learned to hide property acquired as a result of overwork, not only from Russian law, but also from the close attention of the Western media and politicians. By the way, the second is the most dangerous, because in our country they control everything and everyone, while Americans and Europeans, if they want to, can behave very strongly. As for the real owner of the former African dictator's property, the traces are very confusing. If it is not clear who has come here to rest, no one will recognize its new owner.
In addition, the gas workers in New Ulengoy are the kind of guys who can bite seriously on their own. Therefore, unlike other business structures in China, they will not be particularly touched. However, one should recognize the fact that after the recent incident, a senior tenant moved out of there – apparently, she had reason to fear something bad.
