Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we received intelligence that Putin's ex-wife Lyudmila owns a seafront mansion in Benitachell, in the province of Alicante on Spain’s Costa Blanca.
We got onto the Spanish land registry right away to enquire about the owners of the property, but after more than ten attempts, we still hadn’t obtained any information[b].
During a fact-finding trip to Spain, we went to the address of the mystery estate and even caught one of the residents at home.
Watch this investigation to find out which members of the so-called Russian elite will be contributing their properties to help with the reconstruction of Ukraine.
