Russian investigators have raided the home of Ksenia Sobchak, the glamorous daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s one-time boss, in a move that has sent shockwaves through the country’s political scene.

Ms Sobchak, a 40-year-old TV star, has often been critical of Mr Putin, but many Russian opposition figures have described her as a Kremlin project.
