Death of a Russian oligarch and his family on the Costa Brava: the son supports the thesis of a set up, the e – The Independent

The son of Russian millionaire Sergey V. Protosenya who remains suspected of a double homicide, spoke publicly for the first time on the case. On April 20, the Catalan police found in a residential house in Lloret de Mar the bodies of two women, who had been stabbed to death, as well as that of a hanged man. According to initial investigations, the police imagined the trail of a father who killed his wife and daughter before committing suicide.

Several Russian oligarchs have disappeared in mysterious circumstances since the beginning of the conflict The son of the Russian millionaire gives his opinion Sergey Protosenya’s 22-year-old son, called Fredor, was in Bordeaux at the time of the events. Having spoken for the first time to The Daily Mail a few days ago, the young man maintains that his father is not responsible for this double feminicide: “My father is not a killer”. In order to support his father, Fredor expressed himself: “he loved my mother and especially Maria my sister. She was his princess. He could never do anything to hurt them. I don’t know what happened that night, but I know my father didn’t hurt them.” The support of Sergey Protosenya’s friends In addition to his son, various friends of the Russian millionaire also supported the thesis of a fake suicide. One of them, named Anatoly Timoshenko, is indignant: “Sergey didn’t do it. He didn’t kill his family. It’s impossible”. Another friend of Sergey Protosenya, Roman Yuravich, also states that “He was a happy man. He loved his family. He didn’t kill his wife and daughter. I’m sure of that.” What impact on the investigation? If the testimonies of relatives of the Russian millionaire reinforce the thesis of a set up, nothing has yet been proven. The Catalan police, refusing to communicate on the investigation, are still looking for the truth in this case.
