Revealed: wife of #Putin's spokesman faces questions over US tax affairs - my latest with @jonswaine in New York theguardian.com/us-news/2019/f…

Tatiana Navka lived and trained in the US for over a decade. She was a US permanent resident up until Sep 2015 - the year she married Putin's press sec Dmitry Peskov. Navka was obliged to declare her global income. Including from #Russian sources ..

Documents suggest she claimed tax relief on a house she 'sold' in 2009. In fact, the house in New Jersey was repossessed by her bank last month. Navka and her former husband Alexander Zhulin owe $$$$$ in unpaid property tax..

Navka's New York accountant Ilya Bykov told her she was potentially in "serious" trouble with the IRS for apparently failing to declare foreign accounts. In Feb 2014 - while still a US resident - she opened an offshore company in the BVI and three Swiss bank accounts ..

Bykov's Russian clients include Aras Agalarov, the #Moscow property tycoon who hosted Donald #Trump in 2013. In 2017 Navka and Peskov hired Bob Zampolin, a US architect, to design them a mini-palace on Agalarov's exclusive estate theguardian.com/world/2019/feb…

In July 2010 Navka and Zhulin divorced in a #Moscow court. She continued to file tax returns to the #IRS as 'married' up until 2013, documents suggest. Navka declined to answer questions about her US tax affairs, says details published about her "inaccurate"
