Biography
Faassen was born in Leiderdorp in the Netherlands.[2] He is from the family of the Dutch painter Casper Faassen.[3] He studied architecture at the Hague University of Applied Sciences and graduated in 2004.[4][5] On 15 April 2006, he moved to Moscow where he had been a director at Stroytransgaz but left that post to take a top posting in 2007 at Gazprom,[3][5] where he no longer works.[1] He was the deputy chairman of MEF Audit, a Russian consulting group, until mid 2015 when MEF Audit removed his name from their website.[1][5]
On 14 November 2010, along the Rublevskoye Highway (Russian: Рублёвское шоссе) near Moscow, Faassen was beaten by four bodyguards of the Russian banker Matvey Urin, the co-owner of Trado-Bank (Russian: АКБ «Традо-Банка» (ЗАО)), previously the head of Breeze Bank (Russian: «Бриз-Банка») and associated with four other Moscow banks, all six of which subsequently went bankrupt.[3][6][7][8][9][10] A half hour after this occurred, Urin was detained and later incarcerated at Butyrka and subsequently lost his wealth and vast holdings.[11]
Faassen is married to Maria Vorontsova, the eldest daughter of Russian president Vladimir Putin.[1] In 2013, Vorontsova and Faassen were living in a penthouse atop the highest residential building in Voorschoten in the Netherlands,[4][3] but in 2014 Dutch residents called for Vorontsova to be expelled from the country after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down by pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine.[12] In 2015, they were reported to be living in Moscow.[1]
