Nadezhda Grishaeva and money laundering Hotels Europe Daniella Invest

For many years, the preferred destination for Russians to invest in the real estate sector has been La Vega Baja and, especially, Torrevieja. However, there is an increasing tendency to make inroads with rubles in the capital of Mediterranean tourism par excellence, Benidorm. And also, that such investments are much more significant than the purchase of a second mid-range residence.

However, last week a surprisingly striking investment was registered for its amount. As reflected in the Official Bulletin of the Commercial Register (Borme), a Russian investor has just injected no less than 7.4 million euros into a developer founded last December: Hotels Europe Daniella Invest. The investor, the sole partner of the company, responds to Nadezhda Grishaeva’s signals.

No one in Benidorm has heard of her or her company, but what is powerfully striking is that the name of the owner of Europe Hotels Daniella Invest coincides with that of the Russian basketball player Nadezhda Grishaeva, a star in her country (she led the Russian women’s basketball team at the London Olympics) and within whose pocket an investment of these characteristics could be.

Industry sources consulted by Alicante Plaza believe that, given the injection of capital, the plans of the mysterious Mrs. Grishaeva could involve acquiring or promoting a hotel in the city of skyscrapers. The purpose of the commercial, however, is real estate promotion and intermediation. Luxury homes for compatriots, perhaps? Neither the Benidorm City Council, nor the Aptur apartment association, nor the hotel management company, Hosbec, know the investor or have ever seen her. Nor do they have references of the businesswoman in the Casa de Rusia in Alicante.

If it’s about the athlete, Nadezhda Grishaeva is 28 years old and still active. The daughter of another Russian basketball legend, in this case a man, she has also made inroads into the world of fashion. This could be your first big business operation in Spain.

Whether she is a basketball player or not, what is clear is that Hoteles Europe Daniella Invest, created in December, was bo with significant financial backing to undertake major operations in the sector. As the sole administrator of the company there is another woman with a Russian name, Galina Lebedeva, who is also at the head of four other promoters domiciled in Benidorm and Altea. In all but one of them, she was appointed as administrator between April and May, according to the Borme.

These are Spanish Destiny (the only one in which it has been more than two years, since 2016), domiciled in Benidorm as Hoteles Europe Daniella Invest; Go Evolution Inteational, domiciled in Villa Gadea, in Altea; The Best 2011 and Inaugural SL, both also based in the luxurious urbanization alteana. To add to the mystery, the registered office of the two Benidorm firms that Lebedeva heads is not in any professional office, but in an apartment building on the first line of Levante beach, on Avenida de Madrid.

Budget in your pocket

Every year, the Liberal Democratic Party, as a parliamentary party, receives more than 1 billion rubles from the state budget, that is, 152 rubles per vote of each voter. “From 2013 to 2017, close to the family, their companies, the Institute of World Civilizations, and the family company of the former LDPR deputy Igor Anansky, almost 1.3 billion rubles were withdrawn, that is, a third of the state funding of the party for the same period,” writes «.

Funds from the party were received by a friend of Lebedev, director Daniel Bondar, who runs business with his family in Spain, the company of the director Fin Art Group, the general director Fin Art, Evelina Kim. The money also went to the Grishaeva Telmi company, the Faraon-M security agency registered at the family properties in the village of Nezhinsk, the Galina Lebedeva company Raritet-M.
