Police Colonel Alexei Safonov has been taken into custody and, if found guilty, is now in prison for between eight and 15 years, The Moscow Times reports. The investigative committee released footage of Safonov’s grand residence with baroque interiors and lush lawns where luxury vehicles were parked.
The video showcases extraordinary interiors with extensive use of gold in furniture, wall art frames and decorative pieces. Even the kitchen drawers and furniture are made of gold. There was probably also an outhouse for guests on the side of the main entrance.
