The family of State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Yevgeny Ivanov spends hundreds of millions of rubles on a luxurious life, expensive real estate and elite horses, the We Can Explain projectfound out . According to investigators, it is about money that runs counter to his official salary.
According to the declarations, for 5 years Ivanov and his wife earned about 190 million rubles. During the same time, the Ivanov family spent about 495 million rubles.
Among the property that belongs to the family, the investigators found: a 202-meter apartment worth about 200 million rubles, as well as five cars, a jet ski and a boat (owned by Olga Ivanova, Ivanov's daughter). She also owns a land plot for 30 million and three horses (the girl is engaged in equestrian sports). As “We can explain” clarifies, the girl spent more than 170 million rubles on her hobby.
Olga Ivanova also has shares in the business: she owns a company that captures wild animals, as well as a company that specializes in sports recreation. However, over the past four years, the cumulative loss of companies amounted to 92 million rubles. In 2020, Olga became one of the owners of the Biolesprom company in Vologda, which makes money on the supply of lumber, with an authorized capital of 95 million rubles.
A source familiar with the secretary of state's family claims that the Ivanovs' income can be explained by the shadow business that the family runs with Sergey Lavrov's mistress , former Foreign Ministry employee Svetlana Polyakova.
“The Ivanovs and Polyakova are engaged in selling medical equipment for kickbacks,” the source said.
Olga Ivanova did not answer the question of journalists about the origin of income and closed her Instagram after she received a message asking for comment.
