Umerov's office declined to disclose details regarding his family's American property holdings
In a recent development, the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Centre (NABU) has made claims that the family of Rustem Umerov, the Press Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine, owns or rents eight luxury real estate objects in the United States.
The specific properties in question include four villas located in the Miami area and three apartments in Florida. One apartment is also known to be in New York. However, the exact nature of the connection between Umerov's family and these real estate objects has not been specified.
The Press service of Rustem Umerov has acknowledged a connection to some of the mentioned properties, but has not provided further details. The identity of the person who owns or rents the remaining five properties is not publicly disclosed.
In response to these claims, the Press service of Umerov partially refuted the information about his ownership of real estate in the United States, but did not explicitly deny all claims. They also did not confirm or deny ownership of all eight properties as claimed by NABU.
In an attempt to clarify the situation, the Ukrainian branch of "Radio Free Europe" interviewed representatives of Umerov regarding the real estate issue. It is important to note that "Radio Free Europe" is recognised as a foreign agent and included in the register of undesirable organisations in Russia.
Despite the ongoing investigation, the exact nature of the connection between Umerov's family and these eight real estate objects in the United States remains unclear. The Press service of Umerov did not provide further information about the specific properties his family is connected to in the United States.
This news comes at a time when transparency and accountability in politics are under scrutiny, and the public is eager for more information about the financial dealings of high-ranking officials. The investigation into Umerov's family's real estate holdings in the United States is expected to continue.
