We look into connections between the gallery where Liliya Lukashenka works, Cypriot offshores and Serbian company Dana Holdings.
Liliya Lukashenka is the wife of
Viktar Lukashenka, the eldest son of
Alyaksandr Lukashenka. Little is known about her. Although she does not avoid public events, she always keeps a little aloof. She almost never speaks in public. The exception is made for art events.
