The Insider closely studied the history of the villa through the financial statements of the firms through which the ownership was registered. They indicate that structures of "Gazprom" allocated money for the purchase of real estate and the repayment of debts related to its maintenance - free of charge and without hope of return, and Karapetyan himself can be considered only a nominal holder of the property.
TL;DR
- Financial statements examined by The Insider show Gazprom structures funded the villa's purchase and associated debts.
- The funds were provided gratuitously and without the expectation of repayment.
- Karapetyan appears to have been only a nominal holder of the property.
