A political ally of Vladimir Putin who declared poverty to a London divorce court had £217m-worth of property and land in London and Moscow as well as £21m in investments and a £4m art collection, a judge has found. David Allison, the solicitor representing Alona Sloutsker, said: “Unfortunately, Mr Sloutsker’s obstructive behaviour continued after trial until his death in late September. The couple had “spent millions of pounds on redecorating and renovating that large property”, the judge said. The family home in London was valued at £45m although Sloutsker had failed to pay about £27m or £28m in mortgage payments over the last 12 months. He had £4m in REYL bank in Switzerland and a family home in Moscow valued at £22m.
