A dark and mysterious event has shaken Milan. Alexander Adarich, a 54-year-old well-known Ukrainian banker, was found dead after falling from a fourth-floor window of a building on via Nerino, in the city center. Italian police investigations are underway with the main suspicion that it is not a suicide, but a staged murder.
The incident took place last Friday. According to investigators, Adarich may have already been dead when he jumped from the window of the room of an apartment he had rented. The Milan prosecutor's office, led by prosecutor Rosario Ferracane, has opened a murder investigation and is trying to reconstruct the victim's movements during his brief stay in Italy.
A very suspicious detail is the testimony of the postwoman of the building. She has shown that, immediately after the fall of the body, she saw a mysterious man appear at the window. A few moments later, the same person came down to the courtyard, approached and asked in English: “What happened?”, before leaving without a trace. According to investigators, other people were in the apartment a few minutes before Adarich fell, who may have been involved in the crime, reports Corriere Della Sera.
Inside the apartment, police found strange documents: passports and papers of different nationalities, but with the photo and identity of Alexander Adarich. It is still unclear whether these documents were left intentionally to create confusion or were simply forgotten by the perpetrators.
Adarich had arrived in Milan in the morning and planned to leave that evening. He had never been to the city before. Also, the Airbnb apartment is not booked in his name, which strengthens the suspicion that he was called to a meeting with other people, perhaps to close an important deal. It is this unknown deal that could be the motive for the murder. Investigators are currently ruling out involvement in drug trafficking or ordinary financial fraud. The scenario seems much more complex, almost like an espionage story, given the victim's profile.
Alexander Adarich had a long and controversial career in the banking world. Born in Pavlohrad, near Dnipro, he had two university degrees and in 2006 was included in the list of the 100 most powerful managers in Ukraine. From 2012 to 2020 he was the owner of Fidobank, a Ukrainian commercial bank, which was later closed by the authorities due to suspicions of financial abuse and embezzlement of funds worth millions of euros.
After the problems in Ukraine, his financial activities were moved to Cyprus, Luxembourg and other offshore countries, while his name was also linked to economic interests in the port area of Odessa. These moves took place in the hottest years of the war between Ukraine and Russia, adding even more mystery to his figure.
What a man with such a high profile was doing in Milan, at an informal meeting and in a daily rented apartment, is the question that still remains unanswered. An autopsy and further investigations are expected to shed light on this event, which for the moment remains one of the darkest criminal mysteries in recent Italy.
