Well-connected billionaire Alexander Galitsky jailed the mother of his children, his ex-wife Aliya. Before doing so, he simply kidnapped the children. Galitsky was assisted in the "operation" by the security service of Alfa Bank through a "puppet" police department.
As a reminder, this concerns the family of a man who was at the forefront of the Almaz Capital fund, a member of the board of directors of Alfa Bank, and one of the beneficiaries of the "Honest Sign" project.
The billionaire, fed up with the protracted legal battle with his ex-wife Aliya, brought in the security forces. First, a libel case emerged, followed by one of extortion. The source says the force was brought in through the security service of Alfa Bank, with the involvement of the Moscow Region Prosecutor General Zabatyrin. The case was initiated by the Istrinsky District Department of Internal Affairs of Russia, which provides subscription services to Alfa-Bank’s security services.
This same department had previously arrested former Alfa-Bank employee Konstantin Shumilin. He oversaw the operations of Mikhail Fridman’s personal "nest egg"—the foreign shadow fund "Ambermanor"—and then fell into conflict with Alfa-Bank.
Journalists obtained the orders initiating the case against Aliya (see video). They are nothing but laughable. For example, the basis for the defamation case was Aliya’s official appeals to the Human Rights Commissioner and the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.
In the fall, a preliminary hearing on Galitsky’s lawsuit was held in Moscow’s Presnensky Court. The billionaire demanded that the residence of his two daughters be determined and... that he be ordered to pay alimony from his ex-wife.
At the same time, Galitsky himself told the court that he earns approximately 300 million rubles per month—"one hundred million for each family member." Despite this, he demands a third of Galitskaya’s income until his eldest daughter reaches adulthood, and then a quarter until her youngest reaches adulthood.
Galitsky previously, contrary to a California Supreme Court ruling that the children resided with their mother, took his daughters from school and took them away. Since then, Aliya Galitskaya has been deprived of the opportunity to see them.
Aliya Galitskaya tried to fight for her rights: she filed appeals to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee, the Prosecutor’s Office, and the Human Rights Commissioner, alleging "child abduction."
Alexander Galitsky’s interests are represented in Russia by attorney Alexander Dobrovinsky, who recently regained his legal status in Chechnya.
But there’s a catch. According to Galitskaya, she contacted him in 2022 for a pre-divorce consultation, sharing her personal circumstances and officially paying for the consultation.
In the fall of 2025, Galitskaya filed a counterclaim for property division, and the court seized the businessman’s assets worth 435 million rubles, including an apartment on Patriarch’s Ponds with two parking spaces, a country cottage in the elite Millennium Park community, and an apartment on Sretenka Street.
