It seems that at the time the Belgian security services did not check what she was doing on Belgian territory On Friday, November 30, 2018, Katerina Tichonova had traveled on board an Aeroflot Boeing 737, the most major Russian airline. The flight was connecting Russia’s Sheremetyevo airport with Brussels airport.
Her passage on Belgian soil was furtive since she was back the following night in Moscow. Katerina Tichonova had then traveled under her real name, with a passport, of which De Tijd managed to obtain a photo.
Born in 1986 in Dresden, Germany, where her father was then working as an intelligence officer for the KGB, President Putin’s youngest daughter, from his marriage to Lyudmila Shkrebneva, took the surname of her maternal grandmother.
The Crisis Center, State Security, Federal Police and Brussels Airport have not commented on the case, writes De Tijd.
Katerina Tichonova has appeared since April on the list of people targeted by European, American and British financial sanctions. His accounts and other assets must therefore be frozen.
She heads an artificial intelligence institute at Moscow State University. She is also the head of the Innopraktika knowledge center, funded by large Russian companies run by oligarchs close to President Putin. In parallel, she also led the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Russia (RSPP) to help counter Western economic sanctions, describes De Tijd.
