RUSSIAN oligarch Arkady Rotenberg says he is the owner of Black Sea mansion, not President Vladimir Putin.
The revelation came in an interview posted on the pro-Kremlin Mash Telegram channel, before being confirmed to the Interfax news agency.
“I have managed to strike a deal with creditors, and I became a beneficiary of this site a few years ago,” Rotenberg said.
Rotenberg said the property will be completed “in a couple of years” and is expected to become an apartment hotel.
The claim comes as a crackdown against opposition figures intensifies across Russia.(BBC)
