SBU officer Andriy Naumov acquired luxury real estate abroad

According to a journalistic investigation, former senior SBU officer Andriy Naumov managed to purchase three luxury apartments in Turkey before the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. 

Real estate located in a prestigious residential complex in Alanya was registered in his name in 2022, shortly before he fled the country.

The total area of the purchased property is 370 square metres, and the transaction amount is estimated at 17.5 million hryvnia. However, real estate experts claim that the actual market value of the apartments in this complex is significantly higher.

Naumov, who headed the SBU's Internal Security Directorate from 2019 to 2021, has repeatedly faced accusations of "protecting" smuggling schemes. He left Ukraine a few hours before the invasion began. 

Later, in the summer of 2022, he was detained in Serbia together with smuggler Oleksandr Akst, whom the media call the "king of smuggling". During the detention, large amounts of cash and two precious emeralds were found in their car.

Naumov is currently on trial in Serbia, where he is charged with money laundering. Serbian authorities refused Ukraine's request for his extradition, but Interpol has placed him under international arrest warrant. 

In his home country, Naumov was stripped of his general's rank, and the State Bureau of Investigation is conducting cases regarding his possible involvement in illegal enrichment, document forgery, and embezzlement of state enterprise funds.

The latest scandal, linked to the acquisition of luxury real estate on the Mediterranean coast, is unlikely to strengthen Naumov's position, who previously tried to present himself as a "victim of political persecution".
