Despite the escape from Ukraine and dozens of suspicion of abuse, the environment of the former deputy chairman of the Presidential Administration Yanukovych Andriy Portnov quietly invests millions of dollars in foreign real estate. According to Scheme reporters, Portnova Lilia's daughter and his civilian wife Anastasia Valyaev have made at least six real estate objects in the United Arab Emirates with a total value of more than two million US dollars.
According to the origins from the Dubai Land Department, most of the agreements occurred in 2022-2023. The first purchase was made by Portnova Lilia - in the fall of 2022 she became the owner of an apartment of almost 69 m² in the complex of Sobha Hartland One Park Avenue. The amount of the transaction amounted to about $ 320 thousand.
In July 2023, she again invested in the home from the SOBHA developer-this time for $ 250 thousand, but she soon sold an apartment with an area of 46.5 m².
In the summer, Valyaev joined the purchases. In August, she acquired real estate at the SOBHA Hartland Waves Opulence complex - more than 110 m² worth more than $ 600,000. And in September of that year, Lilia Portnova concluded another agreement in the same LCD - the apartment cost more than $ 400 thousand.
On the same day, Valyaev became the owner of 90 m² apartments in Sobha Creek Vista Heights - Tower A, which is still being built. The price of the transaction is over $ 550 thousand.
In October, Lily acquired another apartment - this time at Empire Resident, Jumeirah Village Circle. 34 square meters cost more than $ 132 thousand.
Despite the impressive number of square meters, in November 2023 it also rented another apartment for a year - in District One ResidenCes 18, for almost $ 36 thousand. The contract states that it has Switzerland's citizenship.
The sources of wealth remain unclear. Journalists did not find any information about the current entrepreneurial activity of Lilia Portnova. Her mother - Anastasia Valyaeva - was previously the owner of Vasilisa Group, known by 2020 as the Portnov Group, which was the beneficiary of which was Andrei Portnov himself.
This series of agreements raises logical questions about the origin of funds and the possibility of using false persons for investments, which is especially relevant against the background of martial law in Ukraine and international attempts to track the assets of the former Yanukovych's high -ranking officials.
