Switzerland, with its long-running history of being a low-tax haven for the world's rich, may be sheltering Vladimir Putin's secret lover, it has been claimed.
Far removed from the bombs, shells and bullets raining across Ukraine, Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Alina Kabaeva, 38, and who was once described as "Russia's most flexible woman", travelled to a "private and secure" chalet with her young children.
Kabaeva is widely believed to be the mother of Vladimir Putin's two sons and a daughter, or possibly two daughters, as Putin keeps them protected, Yorkshire Live writes.
