Vladimir Putin diverted dozens of Russian intelligence officers to monitor his daughter whenever she went on romantic trips to the West to meet her new lover.
Katerina Tikhonova, 35, made repeated clandestine visits over four years to Munich and other locations - including London - mostly for assignations with Igor Zelensky, 53, then head of the Bavarian State Ballet.
Each time she was accompanied by an “army of special services officers” at vast expense to Russian taxpayers, according to a revealing investigation by Important Stories media outlet and Der Spiegel based on leaked secret services papers.
