The family of a top officer of the Foreign Intelligence Service have Russian passports and have acquired expensive real estate in the past four years, according to an investigation by Ukrainian journalists.

Journalists from the Bihus.info website found that relatives of Serhiy Semochko, first deputy head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, also visit Russian-occupied Crimea regularly. His family owns $7 million in real estate near Kyiv, obtained after the Kremlin launched its war on Ukraine in 2014, according to the journalists.
