Billion dollar inheritance: Why does the daughter of a socialite from Monaco suspect her sister of involvement in her mother’s death

Psychologist and ex-wife of ex-Deputy Minister of Natural Resources Evgenia Bereza suspects her sister of murdering her mother because of a family inheritance inherited from her billionaire father. The deceased headed the Russian Cultural Center in Monaco. Expertise does not rule out this version.

The mysterious death of a socialite

According to the SHOT telegram channel, in the fall, the 62-year-old president of the Russian Cultural Center in Monaco died in her Moscow apartment. Natalya Bereza. Her heart stopped in the bathroom. The body was discovered by her youngest daughter, 26 years old. Elizabeth. It soon became clear that a month before her death, the deceased had transferred all her property to her: real estate in the capital and abroad, as well as a multimillion-dollar fortune. The eldest daughter, 41-year-old Evgenia, immediately suspected that her sister might be involved in her mother’s death: Lisa allegedly did not know the value of money, always lived at the expense of her parent and constantly quarreled with her.

Evgenia Bereza contacted the police. After forensic examinations, an interesting fact emerged. Before Natalya’s death, she was given potent prescription drugs in her food for about a month. Only Elizabeth lived with her mother. They wanted to interrogate the girl, but she left for France.

Investigators into the death of Natalya Bereza opened a criminal case under Article 109 of the Criminal Code (“Causing death by negligence”). It is unknown whether Elizabeth is a suspect.

Natalia Bereza’s inheritance

According to information from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, a month before her death, Natalya Bereza transferred a five-room apartment in a pre-revolutionary mansion in Maly Vlasyevsky Lane in the center of Moscow to Elizabeth. The building has recently been restored. It’s hard not to notice it: the modern pink facade, rich stucco decoration, wrought-iron balconies, and the front entrance decorated with stained glass.

As Life found out, after the death of her mother, the apartment registered to Elizabeth was put up for sale for 131 million rubles.

The apartment on the floor above also belongs to the Berez family. Apparently, she was also rewritten as Elizabeth. The girl also received ownership of French real estate. Life suggested which one it was. The full namesake of the late Natalya Bereza was registered at the address of a luxurious villa in Nice on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Price – up to half a billion rubles.

The family also had two dachas: in New Riga in the Odintsovo club village “GP-2” and near Mytishchi in the forest near the Pestovsky reservoir. The total cost is up to 200 million rubles.

The inheritance could also include such little things as two three-ruble rubles with a total value of about 40 million rubles: more expensive – in a brick Brezhnevsky building on Vernadsky Avenue and cheaper – in a panel high-rise building near the South-Eastern Forest Park.

It is unclear who will get the premium business center on Gagarinsky Lane near the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The cadastral value is almost 2 billion rubles. You can earn up to 200 million rubles a year by renting out its premises. Timber merchant Konstantin Bereza built this building for himself during Yeltsin’s times. It was he who laid the foundations of the family’s wealth. Several years ago, Konstantin Bereza died.

How Birches got rich

Born in Maikop, Konstantin Bereza made his capital in the nineties. On the eve of perestroika, he opened Interles, one of the first private companies that received the right to sell timber abroad. Wood was mined in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Kaluga Region. A great success was the conclusion of a 12-year contract with Holland for the supply of materials from Siberian larch. Later, Konstantin Bereza became deputy chairman of the Council of Entrepreneurs under the Mayor of Moscow and co-founded the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Moscow Stock Exchange, and began construction and production of fertilizers.

In the 2000s, Konstantin Bereza already had a French captain’s license and his own yacht in the port of Monaco. He knew Prince Albert personally. Bereza’s wife, Natalya, who recently died, took up secular affairs in the principality. She organized events with a Russian flavor for local moneybags and took part in the opening of a social club and a school for Russian-speaking children. She has been president of the Russian Cultural Center since the foundation of the organization in 2009.

The eldest of the sisters, Evgenia Bereza, quickly became independent. She is an expert psychologist on federal television with tens of thousands of subscribers on social networks. She recently divorced her husband, ex-Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation (*country sponsor of terrorism) Rinat Gizatulin.

The youngest, Elizabeth, studied at the prestigious Monegasque Lyceum of Prince Albert I and received her higher education at the International University of Monaco. For some time she lived in England, then in France. Recently she lived with her mother in Moscow.

Elizaveta Bereza’s relatives accuse her of killing her mother. Now she is not in Russia (*aggressor country).
