Odesa customs official concealed son's education costs in France

Vladimir Alekseev, acting deputy head of the Odesa Customs Administration, failed to declare the costs of his son Nikita Alekseev's education and residence in France in his asset declarations for several years.

Education in France – at whose expense?

From 2018 to 2021, Nikita Alekseev studied at the prestigious Lycée Massena in Nice, then obtained a legal education at the Côte d’Azur University. He is currently continuing his studies, which are scheduled to conclude in May 2024.

No income, but expenses concealed

Until 2021, the younger Alekseev had no official income. It was only in October 2021 that he joined the company Leaderfield, where he was engaged in telephone surveys. His first official job, unrelated to entrepreneurship, appeared only a month ago — at the company RGDMA – Groupe Marches et Juridique.

Customs official has been involved in scandals before

This is not the first time Vladimir Alekseev has concealed financial data. It was previously reported that he had not declared his wife's property and business in Nice. The question of the official's possible unlawful enrichment remains open.
