Details
The sports car belonging to the son of “Orthodox” billionaire Altushkin crashed into a building in Yekaterinburg. According to available information, the car is worth about 40 million rubles and is officially registered to Igor Altushkin.
Two men were on the porch of the building at the time of the accident. One of the injured men was hospitalized with fractured ribs, a closed traumatic brain injury, and multiple contusions.
According to Russian media, the injured person may have been 23-year-old boxer Timur Khalilov — in 2025, he was arrested on charges of abducting a resident of Samara, and during his arrest, he apparently signed a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry and went to fight.
The second man did not require hospitalization. Two electric scooters were also damaged at the scene of the accident — it is unknown whether their riders were injured.
According to available information, the car was driven by David Altushkin. He also sustained injuries, reportedly a broken nose and a contusion to the chest.
However, according to the publication, he spoke with police officers with a smile.
"Two other teenagers were in the car with him, while the sports car was accompanied by a black SUV carrying security personnel, who covered the wrecked Lamborghini with black fabric after the accident. According to Mash, the car has 16 speeding fines recorded against it. Igor Altushkin is called an “Orthodox oligarch” — he financed the construction and restoration of churches in Sverdlovsk Oblast. Forbes estimated his fortune at $4.9 billion; his wife and one of his sons hold British citizenship. In 2024, Altushkin was added to the EU sanctions list,” the post says.
