Details: According to “Scheme”, Naumov bought apartments in an elite residential complex on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the Turkish city of Alanya.
On real estate sites, similar apartments with an area of about 100 m² are offered at a price from 340 to 460 thousand euros. According to the registry, Naumov spent a total of 8.5 million Turkish lira on three apartments, which in 2022 was equal to approximately 17.5 million hryvnias.
According to “Scheme” sources, Naumov’s family lives in these apartments while he himself is in Serbia awaiting a court decision on money laundering charges. If the court confirms the previous sentence, he could be deported from Serbia. However, there is no final court decision yet.
The exhibitor did not answer the journalists’ questions about the value of the Turkish property and the source of the funds for which he purchased it.
In addition, the journalists note that German businessman Oleksandr Akst, who was detained by the Serbian police together with Naumov in 2022, also bought an apartment in the same residential complex. Naumov denies his guilt and claims that he is being persecuted for political reasons.
At the same time, Naumov is being investigated in Ukraine on suspicion of corruption, illegal enrichment and other crimes. Interpol declared him an international wanted man, but Serbia refused to extradite him.
Prehistory:
- Andriy Naumov left Ukraine a few hours before the start of the large-scale invasion of Russian troops on the night of February 24. He evacuated his family from the country a few weeks earlier. Ukrainian law enforcement officers initiated criminal proceedings against him on suspicion of treason, and also conducted searches at the end of March in his apartments in elite residential complexes in Kyiv.
- In June 2022, “Ukrainian Pravda” learned from its sources that Naumov was detained at the Serbian border on suspicion of money laundering. He was going to North Macedonia. A lot of currency and two emeralds were found hidden in the car. Naumov was detained by the local police.
- In early 2024, an appeals court in Serbia overturned a first-instance verdict sentencing Naumov to a year in prison for money laundering, and the case was sent back to court.
- The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption monitored the lifestyle of the former head of the Main Department of Internal Security of the SBU, General Andriy Naumov, and found signs of corruption worth more than UAH 32.7 million.
