A Russian millionaire with links to the Kremlin is building a 600-square-metre concrete holiday home overlooking a top-secret Swedish military base, prompting Sweden’s defence authorities to sound the alarm.

Stanislav Aleshchenko, a Russian national, bought the Muskö plot in 2017 for 12.5 million kronor. The planned building now stands next to one of Sweden’s most important military installations.

Sweden’s defence authorities want the construction halted. They say the Russian ownership creates a risk to national security, turning what might otherwise be a private holiday-home project into a matter of military concern.
