Connection with the Russian oligarch, Putin's friend? Police raid the
Usmanov

The actions of the investigators were not directed against the famous Bayern Munich club, but in the case of Usmanov's money laundering.

As "Bild" learned, the police action was the result of the cooperation of the investigators of the federal and Bavarian criminal offices. The raid on the club's headquarters in Munich and the premises of the "Allianz Arena" stadium took place on Tuesday.

Billionaire Usmanov is a known supporter of Vladimir Putin. After the start of the Russian occupation of Ukraine, the oligarch was placed on the EU sanctions list and his assets were frozen. "Putin's friend is suspected of hiding money from crimes such as tax evasion in the period 2017-2022. "Many millions of figures are being talked about", - emphasizes "Bild".

Investigators were looking for evidence of Usmanov's money laundering, and so the Munich football club became the object of their interest. The police did not give details, but "one of the points of contact between the Russian oligarch and Bayern Munich is the honorary president, Uli Hoeness", writes "Bild".

Usmanov and Hoeness know each other because they have villas on Lake Tegernsee, where the Russian oligarch lived until his escape in March 2022. In addition, Hoeness provided Usmanov with VIP section tickets to Bayern's most important Champions League matches. This was discovered by "Bild", adding that it is not yet known if and what evidence was seized during the search.

Investigators confirmed that the money laundering investigation against Usmanov "has not yet been completed." Bayern Munich authorities, asked by "Bild" about Tuesday's police raid, did not want to comment.

As "Bild" recalls, tax investigators checked Usmanov's three villas in Tegernsee already in the fall of 2022. Although the Russian has been staying there regularly since 2016 and has employees, including insurance, he has never filed a tax return. After Russia attacked Ukraine, Usmanov's assets in the EU were frozen and his luxury yacht "Dilbar" was confiscated.
