High Court Publishes Ruling Finding Putin Ally Hid Wealth, Orders £25m Payout to Ex‑Wife

The August judgment details concealed global assets, leaving recovery to worldwide enforcement against Vladimir Sloutsker’s estate.

Overview

  • Mr Justice Garrido found Vladimir Sloutsker concealed vast holdings, including about £217m in property and land, £21m in investments and a £4m art collection.
  • The court ordered a £25m payment to Alona Sloutsker plus more than £1m in arrears and legal fees, but neither Sloutsker nor his estate has paid.
  • The judge cited evidence of a lifestyle consistent with extreme wealth despite claims of severe financial hardship and self‑representation in court.
  • Findings included a £45m London home, a Moscow residence worth about £22m, a £150m Moscow development site, £4m at a Swiss bank and £17m in US private equity.
  • The judgment was published with names due to public interest and serious litigation misconduct, and lawyers for Alona Sloutsker plan global asset tracing to enforce the order.
