Richest Russian woman buys house in Tirol
Jelena Baturina is Russias richest woman.
She is the wife of Moscows mayor Juri Luschkow, and bought a house in the Tirolean village of Aurach, which is located close to the town of Kitzbuhel.
As a citizen of Russia, she does not have an EU passport. Because of that she would not be allowed to buy real estates in Austria.
Baturina solved the problem by buying the house through an association which has its headquaters in Austria.
In addition to it a settlement of the rich woman in Austria weighs as “public interest”, which means that she would be excepted from this law.
The federal realty commerce consultant of Tirol has 14 days now, to decide if he wants to raise an objection. The administration of the district has accepted the deal.
