Alina Kabaeva, Vladimir Putin’s alleged lover and mother of their children, is said to live in Switzerland. So the rumor, which is not new. What is new, however, is that official Switzerland is now also dealing with this matter.
Is Putin’s alleged girlfriend really hiding in Switzerland? The question is apparently so important that the federal government is now beginning to take an interest in it. It would damage Switzerland’s reputation, says Mark Pieth, an expert in commercial criminal law. “Switzerland, like other places, is a kind of gateway for Russia into the western world. That is commodity trading, there are the 200 billion that the Russians are said to have invested in the Swiss financial center. Whether justified or not, it would of course reinforce this impression that we are a place of refuge for all kinds of people. »
It would give the impression that Switzerland is a place of refuge for all sorts of people.
FDJP has no information so far
In 2015, Putin’s alleged girlfriend gave birth to a girl in Lugano. That much seems certain. But does the girlfriend of the Russian President actually live in Switzerland? A question that also seems to concern the federal authorities. At the request of the “Tagesschau” writes the Federal Police and Justice Department. «The FDJP has no indication of the presence of this person in Switzerland. The appropriate clarifications have been made.”
The EJPD has no indication of the presence of this person in Switzerland. Appropriate clarifications have been made.
Nothing more can be learned. Nevertheless: It is important that the federal government has carried out these clarifications, says Mark Pieth. «I think the Swiss authorities are right when they investigate the question. It’s not just her private matter. I think it’s something that Switzerland has to do with whether Putin’s mistress is staying with us.”
Vladimir Putin does not speak publicly about private matters. But now his secret girlfriend is becoming a topic for the whole world.
