“Russian millionaire Sergei Protosen was found dead in Spain,” Radio Svoboda reported.
Police in the resort town of Lloret de Mar (near Barcelona) found three bodies – men, women and children – in a rented villa. According to preliminary data, 55-year-old Protosegna killed his wife and their daughter with a knife and an ax, and then hanged himself.
“The Catalan police do not rule out the possibility of triple murder and staged suicide,” the media added.
Protosenya held the position of chief accountant at Russia’s largest private gas company, Novatech. His fortune is estimated at $ 400 million. He and his family lived mainly in France.
