Who Was Sergej Protosenja? Russian Oligarch Wikipedia, Was He Killed In  Spain? Wife

Police were alerted to the deaths when Protosenya’s son, who was in France, raised the alarm after nobody picked up the phone, Telecinco reported.

The Mossos D’Esquadra, the Catalan police force, confirmed on Tuesday it is investigating three deaths, again without naming the victims. A spokesman for the force referred Insider to the public statement when asked for further information on Protosenya’s death.

Mossos D’Esquadra did not assign a motive, but according to El Punta Vui, a working theory for investigators is also that Protosenya killed his family before hanging himself.

Protosenya left no suicide note, and there were no bloodstains on his body, El Punta Vui reported, without citing sources.

He had a personal fortune of more than $433 million, according to Telecinco.

Neither of the men were on an international sanctions list in the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

Was Sergej Protosenja Killed In Spain?

Sergej Protosenja is said to have been killed in Spain. According to Pledge Times, the demise of a Russian family in Spain has left everyone shocked. Three people were found dead in Lloret de Mar, on the Costa Brava, which is also popular with visitors. 

However, conspiracy theories are lingering around social media regarding the incident. Reportedly, the investigators found the mother and daughter stabbed to their death. 

In contrast, the oligarch was found hanged, which made people speculate that he was the one who killed his family members and committed suicide. 

Did Sergej Protosenja Murder His Wife?

Some sources said that it is probable that Sergej Protosenja would commit suicide after killing his wife and daughter first. It is said that he used an ax to murder his wife and daughter while they were sleeping. Then he hanged himself in the property’s garden. 

 

Additionally, a bloodstained ax and a knife were also found at the crime site, according to the police. However, this is not any proven fact because there were no signs of blood on Protosenia’s body.

The businessman may have killed his wife and daughter while wearing socks as gloves, according to preliminary investigations. However, the police are yet to investigate why he would do so or if the killer is someone else.
