In Spain, defector Kuzminov reported difficulties with housing

Defector Kuzminov could rent an apartment in Spain under a gray scheme

Real estate agent Ana Maria, who wished to remain anonymous, said defector Maxim Kuzminov, whose body was discovered in Spain, was unlikely to be able to buy an apartment.

She clarified that most likely he rented housing through a bribe or with the assistance of certain “acquaintances.”

“Buying an apartment is a very long process. You can’t get it done that quickly. It is likely that Kuzminov rented the property. The locals helped him with this, since the agency would have asked him for a work contract or an official income statement,” noted Ana Maria.

According to her, local residents helped Kuzminov with housing or he gave a lot of money so that they would turn a blind eye to it.
