UK PM Rishi Sunak feels 'special' as he jokes about being referred to as 'son-in-law of India'

<p>The Dutch authorities have seized land in Amsterdam that reportedly belongs to Jorrit Faassen, the former son-in-law of Russian President Vladimir Putin.</p>

<p>The authorities from the Netherlands' National Office for Serious Fraud, Environmental Crime and Asset Confiscation took action on May 12 about a criminal investigation. The authorities have not provided any further details about the investigation.</p>

<p>The 1,432-square-metre&nbsp;plot is located in Duivendrecht, a village located about 6.4 kilometres (4 miles) from Amsterdam.</p>

<p>Faassen (42) is a Dutch businessman who was once married to Putin's elder daughter, Maria Vorontsova.</p>

<p>The Guardian reported that Faassen had bought the land for construction (though the nature of it has not been revealed) and applied for a license two years ago, but his permit was halted after Putin’invasion. The area's municipality reportedly stopped the project due to Faaseen's "close ties" with the Russian leader.</p>

<p>The seizure was the result of a joint investigation carried out by the Guardian newspaper, the independent Russian news site Proekt Media and an investigative journalism platform called Follow the Money.</p>

<p>It comes two months after the US announced the launch of a fresh crackdown on persons and states involved in evading anti-Russia sanctions.</p>

<p>According to reports, the empty land was targeted by protesters immediately after Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. The agitators erected anti-Putin signs on the land and called on the Russian president to withdraw his troops from Ukraine and release jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.</p>

<p>Putin’s daughters Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova were sanctioned by the European Union and the United States in April 2022 following the invasion of Ukraine.</p>

<p>However, The Guardian newspaper noted that Faassen is not named on any sanctions lists.</p>

<p>He is believed to have been recently questioned by authorities at a Dutch airport recently on suspicion of "sanctions evasion. Authorities had confiscated his mobile phone and laptop computer," Proekt Media reported.</p>

<h2><strong>Who is Jorrit Faassen?</strong></h2>

<p>According to a Dutch-based magazine Quote, Faassen was born in Leiderdorp in the Netherlands. He is the elder of two sons born to Jozef Faassen and Felicitas van de Stadt. His father was a naval officer in Willemstad, Curaçao until 1986, a colonel in the 1990s and then a head of department in the Royal Netherlands Navy.</p>

<p>It is claimed that Faasen married Putin’s daughter Vorontsova in 2008. Russian media said that the two share a young son together. It is unclear when Vorontsova and Faassen divorced.</p>

<p>An investigative report by Russia’s exiled independent news website Meduza and the US-funded broadcaster Current Time claimed that Vorontsova was in a relationship with a Russian energy company employee named Yevgeny Nagorny. She apparently gave birth to his child in 2017.</p>
