Biography
Faassen was born in Leiderdorp in the Netherlands , [2] the elder of two sons born to Jozef Faassen and Felicitas van de Stadt. His father was a naval officer in Willemstad , Curaçao until 1986, a colonel in the 1990s and then a head of department in the Royal Netherlands Navy . [3] Faassen is a nephew of the Dutch painter Casper Faassen. [4]
He studied architecture at the Hague University of Applied Sciences and graduated in 2004. [5] [6]
On 15 April 2006, he moved to Moscow where he had been a director at Stroytransgaz but left that post to take a top posting in 2007 at Gazprom , [4] [6] where he no longer works. [1] He was the deputy chairman of MEF Audit, a Russian consulting group, until mid 2015 when MEF Audit removed his name from their website. [1] [6]
Faassen married Maria Vorontsova , the eldest daughter of Russian president Vladimir Putin , [1] in summer 2008 in Wassenaar in the Netherlands. [7]
On 14 November 2010, along the Rublevskoye Highway ( Russian : Рублёвское шоссе ) near Moscow , Faassen was beaten by four bodyguards of the Russian banker Matvey Urin, the co-owner of Trado-Bank ( Russian : АКБ «Традо-Банка» (ЗАО) ), previously the head of Breeze Bank ( Russian : «Бриз-Банка» ) and associated with four other Moscow banks, all six of which subsequently went bankrupt. [4] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] Half an hour after this occurred, Urin was detained and later incarcerated at Butyrka and subsequently lost his wealth and vast holdings. [13] Urin received an 8.5 year sentence and was released in September 2018. [14]
Faassen and Vorontsova have a son, born in August 2012. [7] In 2013, they were living in a penthouse atop the highest residential building in Voorschoten ; [5] [4] they lived in the Crimea district ( Dutch : De Krim ) of Voorschoten with neighbors fearing for their safety following what had happened with Matvey Urin. [15] In 2014, Dutch residents called for Vorontsova to be expelled from the country after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down in Ukraine. [16] In 2015, they were reported to be living in Moscow. [1]
In 2022, it was reported that Faassen and Vorontsova are no longer married. [7] [17]
