A German billionaire who disappeared 6 years ago while skiing in Switzerland – and was later declared dead – has finally been located liveto live with her Russian spy friend in Moscow.

According to the DailyMail, the now 64-year-old German-American retail magnate Karl-Erivan Haub was “caught” by facial recognition software and authorities have launched an investigation into what exactly is going on.

Haub disappeared on April 2018, while riding the cable car – alone – for skiing, on the Matterhorn in Switzerland. He never returned to his hotel and – despite intensive searches – his body was never found.

Three years later he was declared dead from the Cologne authorities, leaving behind a wife, three children and 75,000 employees in his businesses.

But recently, an investigative reporter for German broadcaster RTL revealed that Haub has been identified by facial recognition cameras in Moscow, where he is believed to be living with Veronika Ermilova – a Russian woman 20 years his junior who is suspected of being a spy.

German-American tycoon Karl-Erivan Haub, then 58, was training for a ski mountaineering race when he disappeared in April 2018

Haub is alleged to have dialed the phone of mysterious Russian woman Veronika Ermilova - suspected of being a Russian agent - 13 times in the three days before he disappeared

In fact, Haub had allegedly called the mysterious Veronica’s phone 13 times, three days before she disappeared.

Also, an investigation by RTL and the media outlet Stern, also links Haub’s suspicious disappearance to a Russian billionaire known as “Oligarch of Scarface” – who had sold Prince Harry and Meghan Markle their Montecito, California mansion in 2020.

Sergei Grishin was reported to have died after a long illness in March, although no further details of his funeral have emerged since then.

The “dead” until recently tycoon’s younger brother, Christian, swore in a courtroom in May 2021 that there was no indication that his heir, whose net worth was estimated at £5.2 billion, was alive.

Haub was pronounced dead and Christian assumed control of the Tengelmann Group.

Now, the brother is under investigation by the Cologne prosecutor’s office on suspicion of making false statements under oath, RTL reported.
