President Vladimir Putin has denied owning a sprawling luxury estate by Russia's Black Sea, after opposition figure Alexei Navalny accused him of hiding the property due to corrupt financing.
In an almost two-hour-long film shared on YouTube last week, Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) showed drone footage of an opulent 68-hectare (168-acre) "secret palace" that boasts an enormous mansion, two helipads, an arboretum and an underground ice hockey rink. The film alleged the property, which is worth $1.35 billion, was paid off through an intricate web of illicit funds orchestrated by Putin and his allies.

Rich people always tell you never “own” anything, put it under some kind of trust.
sounds like the biden family..
Bidens, Clintons, Schumer and Pelosi are SOOOOOOO jealous!....................
Putin supposdely is worth 70 billion.
unsurprising
Vlad Biden could learn a few things from Putin.
that confirms the fake U.S. "protests" are a CIA op
“If Brennan wants Navalny in, there is undoubtedly a reason.”
The last time I checked, Putin doesn’t belong to the Republican Party - meaning I doubt he sits by and makes excuses while the other side destroys the country he loves.

Vladimir Putin Addresses Alexei Navalny's Mega-Palace Claims, but Still Won't Say His Name
I saw the very long video with English subtitles. It is quite a Palace but it has had a ton of contractor errors, plus mold, and has had to be rebuilt. It is still not livable after 10(?) years. My Russian friends believe the Palace thing and web of “bribes” to be true.
Oh, so you know. It is very large and on the Black Sea. Restricted airspace and water. Vineyards and wine bottling, heliports, underground hockey arena. Many smaller dachas. Italian design and special Italian furniture. A casino and a room with a stripper pole!
Navalny is a Soros butt boy. Vlad had him stuck with a poison needle because in Russia, they enjoy liberals slowly dying for two weeks. However the assasin screwed up. Navalny wants to start a russian antifa, and legalize hard drugs. He appeals to degenerate do nothings just like here in the states.
I'd bet it's even worse here...
We have hundreds of commissars and former commissars with multiple palatial properties...
Navalny should talk....he’s one of Russia’s oil Oligarchs. Actually Russia’s better off with Putin than Navaly, who thinks he should be President of Russia.

Alexei Navalny has been one of the Wests Protest organizers Activist for several years in Russia. He’s our Lefts dream for Regime change, so it’s no secret that they flew Navalny back to Russia from Germany now that Bidens in office.
The story of ‘palace’ is like 10 years old. It is a corporate resort of Rosneft oil company.
The speculations of Putin tied to it are about as credible as Trump’s pee tape. Both stories are sourced from the same place.
