The sanctioned oligarch’s son and a £160m London property empire

Said Gutseriev says he has no financial or commercial links to his father, who was sanctioned last year for supporting' dictator of Belarus

The son of a Russian billionaire sanctioned for supporting the dictator who runs Belarus has been linked to a 160m portfolio of London properties.

Said Gutseriev, a 34-year-old businessman with British and Russian nationality, appears to have spent years amassing a collection of at least seven properties in central London, according to the findings of a joint investigation by the Guardian and the Belarusian Investigative Center, part of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project.
