Direkt36 worked with the Ukrainian group Molfar, an open-source investigation agency. Since the invasion of Ukraine, Molfar has been working to uncover Russian war atrocities and the hidden Western assets of the Russian elite.

Molfar hired a Greek private investigation agency. Marathon Investigations discovered that members of the Naryshkin family had obtained residency permits in Hungary under the residency bond scheme, which is a matter of concern for both national security and financial reasons.

Molfar submitted an application to the Hungarian authorities with the help of a Ukrainian legal aid office called Juscutum. The request for data stated that they were “directly responsible for the decision to attack Ukraine by Russia, responsible for the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians and for countless war crimes”.

The government office accepted the Ukrainian application, but only Andrei Naryshkin’s address was registered. Naryshkin lives in a 101 square metre, two-room property owned by a Georgian-Israeli businessman.
