Rome, March 16, the Italian Financial Police (Guardia di Finanza) today seized a luxury residential complex on the island of Sardinia, owned by former Russian minister and banker Petr Olegovich Avenue, which was included in the sanctions list of the European Union (EU) after the invasion of Russia of Ukraine. Italy, which imposed sanctions to freeze the property of the Russian oligarch, seized this residential complex located in the village of Punta Sardegna, north of Monopoly Porto Cervo, of which the oligarch owns a third, which is about 4 million euros, according to local media reports. A few days ago, 67-year-old Aven, who resigned as director of the first Russian commercial bank, Alfa Bank, was the Minister of International Economic Relations with Boris Yeltsin, and according to Forbes magazine, his fortune exceeds $5 billion and is 529 richest person in the world. The oligarch is considered one of 50 Russian millionaires who regularly meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin by the European Union, which ensures that Aven acts at the request of the president. After criticizing the sanctions, Avon created an investment group “LetterOn” based in Luxembourg, together with other tycoon Mikhail Fridman, the most active in the United Kingdom. The Villa on Aven in the Embargo Complex in Porto Rafael is one of the first villas built in the Punta Sardinia area and famous for the tragedy that occurred in 2015 when his wife, 57-year-old Elena, died of a heart attack. After welcoming the sailors of the ferry, I returned to my residence. surpassing CCG/MR/FP
