Let’s begin.

This is the story of a man who, because of his own foolishness and a fatal chain  of events, lost everything.

His name was Matvey Urin.

At thirty years old, he was a successful  banker at the peak of his career, owning six Russian banks.

And then everything collapsed.

On one beautiful Sunday evening, in November two thousand ten, Matvey was driving his luxurious  Mercedes to a restaurant, accompanied by his personal security.

But on the road in front of his  convoy, a modest BMW appeared.

According to Urin, its driver showed him a lack of respect.

He refused to give way, despite the persistent flashing lights.

For a successful banker,  this was unthinkable.

How could someone refuse to let such an influential man pass Urin ordered his security team, who were following behind him, to deal with the insolent driver.

The guards reacted instantly.

They blocked the BMW and forced it to stop.

Several strong men with  baseball bats approached the car and demanded that the driver get out.

He refused.

Then the guards smashed the driver’s   window and dragged him out by force.

They beat him and shattered all the windows and mirrors on the car.

After dealing with the driver,   Urin and his security team calmly drove to the  restaurant.

The banker was very pleased with himself.

He showed who was in charge.

But that beaten driver turned out not to be an ordinary person.

And very soon, Urin  would find out — and regret everything.

Yorrit Faassen, a citizen of the Netherlands, born  in nineteen eighty.

An architect by education, from a simple family.

At first glance  — an ordinary man.

But he had one connection that cost Urin everything.

In the mid-two thousands, he moved to Moscow, where he met Maria Vorontsova — the eldest  daughter of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.

Their marriage was kept secret  for a long time.

But an investigation by The New Times confirmed that Maria married Faassen and  took his surname.

And in two thousand twelve, she gave birth to their son — Putin’s grandson.

In Russia, the simple Dutch architect Yorrit quickly built a successful career.

He took a high  position at Gazprombank and later became the vice president of a Gazprom subsidiary — one of the  largest oil and gas corporations in the world.

And this very man — the son-in-law of  the President of Russia — was beaten   on a Moscow road.

But what happened next Faassen did not go to the police.

He called his wife Maria and told her the license plate  numbers of the attackers’ cars.

Just one phone   call, and Matvey Urin’s life changed forever.

An hour later, the banker’s convoy was stopped.

The operation was led by Vladimir Kolokoltsev —  at that time, the head of the Moscow police.

Approaching Urin, he said “Now you will remember  for the rest of your life the man you beat one hour ago.

” The banker was shocked that the head of  the Moscow police himself came to arrest him.

By the way, for Kolokoltsev, just like for  Matvey Urin, this moment became a turning point.

A year later, he became the Minister  of Internal Affairs of the country — and   still holds that position today.

Urin was sent to Lefortovo Prison, known for its extremely strict regime.

And  that’s when the nightmare began criminal cases started piling up one after another.

The first charge was hooliganism with the use of weapons, committed by a group of people.

But  by the time the case reached the court, several more charges had been added.

Along with him, five  of his bodyguards were also charged.

Urin was declared the organizer of a criminal group.

But this was only the beginning.

The real   nightmare was ahead.

The court sentenced him to three years in prison.

His bodyguards received  sentences ranging from two to four years.

But the worst part was this neither Urin nor  his guards understood all this time that they had beaten Putin’s son-in-law.

They suspected  that Faassen was not an ordinary man, and that he might be related to someone from the FSB.

But  they did not grasp the scale of their mistake.

And when the truth came out — it was already too  late.

And this was not the end of the story.

With the sentence he received, Urin could  hope for early release in just a couple   of years.

That’s not much for a man with money  and connections.

Under different circumstances, he could have paid his way out, made a  deal, and walked free even earlier.

But   the prosecutor considered the sentence too  soft, and the court accepted his appeal.

After the case was reviewed, the term  was increased to four and a half years   in a general-regime prison.

But if you think  the story ended there — you’re mistaken.

Before his lawyers even had time to challenge  the decision, Urin was hit with a new charge large-scale fraud.

All six of his banks had  their licenses revoked.

Investigators accused him of stealing sixteen billion rubles.

A number that takes your breath away.

What’s interesting is that just  one month before these events, all the banks passed a routine inspection by the  Central Bank, and no violations were found.

What do you think — were the schemes real,  or could the case have been fabricated to   increase his sentence Write in the comments.

The unfortunate banker kept repeating they’re judging me because I was in the wrong place at  the wrong time.

But the judges were unyielding, and three more years were added to his  prison term.

Now he was expected to   spend seven and a half years behind bars.

He was transferred to Butyrka Prison — one of the toughest in Russia.

His luxurious  life was replaced with prison bunks,   where inmates slept in shifts.

But even  that wasn’t the end of the punishment.

The banker was hit with new charges  — money laundering.

Court hearings on   this case were postponed eight times.

Urin  spent almost five years in the pre-trial detention center.

A record for Russia.

The media even gave him a nickname — “the man under investigation for life.

” While  Urin was sitting in the detention center, his banking empire was collapsing like a  house of cards.

All the assets were sold off, and the debts grew.

The six banks he had spent  years building disappeared one after another.

The final court ruling was eight and a  half years.

And on top of that, the prison   administration issued him twenty-nine disciplinary  violations — ones he didn’t even know about.

This stripped him of the right to early release.

It seemed Urin was doomed to spend many more years behind bars.

But something unexpected happened.

His dark streak ended in two thousand eighteen.

The State Duma passed a law stating that one  day in a pre-trial detention center counts as one and a half days in a prison facility.

Urin’s  term was recalculated, and he was released.

He was no longer a successful financier but  a completely ruined man.

All he had left were debts from various court rulings.

He spent  just under eight years behind bars.

Eight years of his life for a road-side fight.

Rumors said that after his release he fled the country and started a new life abroad under  a different name.

But that wasn’t true.

After he was released, the court declared him bankrupt,  and he was banned from leaving the country because of multi-billion-ruble debts owed to thousands  of affected depositors and legal entities.

Yorrit Faassen divorced Maria Putina  after Western sanctions were introduced.

He returned to the Netherlands, where  he now lives away from the public eye.

Their son stayed in Russia with his mother.

Looking back, the story of Matvey Urin resembles a harsh lesson about arrogance and overconfidence.

A man who thought money and connections made him untouchable lost everything in just two hours.

A single phone call destroyed an empire.

But here’s something interesting in two thousand  thirteen, a similar case happened — a wealthy man attacked someone on the street.

That time,  the victim was an ordinary citizen.

And the case drew no attention at all.

Urin later  said “It was just a coincidence.

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
