Although the Disused Tube Station was apparently sold by the MOD to Firtash for luxury housing development the MOD bizarrely missed that it was situated on Brompton Road/Cottage Place literally NEXT DOOR to Firtash's Cottage Place Mansion. 1/
While the MOD allowed Firtash to pay off £33m of the price later, land registry docs (obtained by myself with @bylinetimes) reveal more. A remortgage on the property occurred in 2016 in favour of Banque Havilland SA formerly Kaupthing Bank, famous for belly upping Iceland. /2
Kaupthing most famous client was Vincent Tchenquiz former main shareholder of Cambridge Analytica. Banque Havilland is owned by former Tory Chairman nominee David Rowland who is a close friend of Prince Andrew, the royal opening the bank for Rowland in 2010. /3
Kaupthing's most famous client was former Cambridge Analytic main shareholder Vincent Tchenguiz. Apparently, Tchenguiz and Rowland know eachother. Tchenguiz and Firtash are reportedly well known to eachother and share business interests. /4
Documents show that Banque Havilland financed a remortgage of Firtash's next door mansion at the same time as the Tube station. Reports show the bank having extremely politically exposed clients beyond the FBI indicted Oligarch and many legal woes. /5 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-11-19/prince-andrew-helped-david-rowland-and-banque-havilland-woo-sketchy-clients
A middle Eastern connection emerges when Rowlands Fordham Sports Management Ltd got tied up in a famous case where Man City apparently sold player image rights in a circular deal intended to affect its balance sheet. /6 https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/soccer-files-fairplay-mancity/
Crown Prince of the UAE Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ) was a major customer of the bank. Qatar took the bank to court in London for allegedly masterminding an attack campaign that cost the country $40bn to support its currency. /7 https://twitter.com/marcowenjones/status/1341039610290458624?s=20
https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article180111646.html Cambridge Analytica also connected: 'The UAE paying $330,000 to a firm with the same parent company as Cambridge Analytica, to blast Qatar on Facebook and Twitter, among other sites, according to federal records.' Trump also publicly blasts Qatar. /8
(More intrigue: Former MI6 spy Will Tricks involved for MBZ.)
Then In 2018 the Banque Havilland charge on the Ghost station was replaced by a charge in favour of an off shore company in Guernsey also controlled by David Rowland. /9 @IrinaReznik4 @StephanieBodoni @gaspardsebag

In 2019 Kremlin close VTB bank gained control of the property after a court case in Limassol that put a freeze on these assets. /10 https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/court-seizes-two-firtashs-mansions-in-london-under-request-of-vtb-bank.html
In 2020 VTB sold Denys Gorbynenko (signed Tube deal for Firtash) assets including a residential complex in Kiev and a construction plant of mineral fertilizers (Firtash's industry) in the Ukrainian Dnipropetrovsk region for a 94% discount /11 https://oligarh.media/2020/01/09/denis-gorbunenko-skupaet-aktivy-vtb-banka/
Firtash/Gorbunenko appear to be doing OK, as are Banque Havilland and VTB bank. What have the Tories gained since a trainee solicitor signed the property application while Firtash was in jail? (Pic: Gorb and Firtash) /ends
PS As always thanks to @peterjukes and @BylineTimes for courageously supporting this type of investigation. As someone pointed out, US due process is bringing these matters closer to the light.
