The report reveals how Kabaeva has a retinue of “chaperones” who care for her every need, some of whom are her relatives who earn vast sums in companies owned by Putin crony oligarchs. “Putin’s vassals provided a royal life for Alina Kabaeva and her children, while secret services hid the existence of this family from the rest of the country,” it is claimed. Among Kabaeva’s properties is reported to be the penthouse in the Royal Park residential complex in Sochi. It “became the brightest diamond in [a] necklace of real estate — a 2,600 square metre apartment with a swimming pool, a movie theatre, a patio and its own helipad on the roof “.
