Metalloinvest Founder

Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

Largest holding: steel giant Metalloinvest. Owner of business daily “Kommersant”.

Belgian Financial Sanctions,

Function: leading Russian businessperson

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Alisher Usmanov is a leading businessperson having interests in iron ore and steel, media, telecommunications and internet companies. Usmanov owns the largest stake in his USM holding, a global conglomerate of metals and mining, telecommunications and technology companies which includes Metalloinvest, Udokan Copper, Akkerman Cement, MegaFon and other assets. Usmanov, directly or through USM, owns and controls assets in key sectors of the Russian economy. His largest holding is the steel giant Metalloinvest, which, together with other companies, is operating in the mineral sector, providing a substantial source of revenue to the Russian Government. Therefore, he is a leading businessperson operating in Russia as well as a businessperson involved in an economic sector providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine. Alisher Usmanov has particularly close ties to the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. He has been referred to as one of Vladimir Putin’s favourite leading businesspersons. He is considered to be one of Russia’s businesspersons-officials, who were entrusted with servicing financial flows but whose positions depend on the will of the President. Usmanov is reputed to have acted on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation in a number of business deals of political and strategic importance. He also has close ties with Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation and former President and Prime Minister of Russia, who benefitted from the personal use of luxurious residences controlled by Usmanov. Therefore, he actively supported materially or financially and benefitted from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine. Usmanov is also the exclusive owner of the business daily Kommersant. When he took control of the business daily “Kommersant”, the freedom of the editorial staff was curtailed and the newspaper took a manifestly pro-Kremlin stance. Kommersant under Usmanov’s ownership published a propagandist anti-Ukrainian article by Dmitry Medvedev, in which the former President of Russia argued that it was meaningless to engage in talks with the current Ukrainian authorities, who in his opinion were under direct foreign control. Therefore he actively supported the Russian government’s policies of destabilisation of Ukraine.

EU Consolidated Travel Bans,

Alisher Usmanov est un homme d’affaires influent qui a des intérêts dans des sociétés des secteurs du minerai de fer et de l’acier, des médias, des télécommunications et de l’internet. Usmanov détient la participation la plus importante dans la holding USM, un conglomérat mondial d’entreprises métallurgiques, minières, de télécommunications et de technologie, qui comprend Metalloinvest, Udokan Copper, Akkerman Cement, MegaFon et d’autres actifs. Usmanov, directement ou par l’intermédiaire d’USM, possède et contrôle des actifs dans des secteurs clés de l’économie russe. Sa principale holding est le géant de l’acier Metalloinvest qui, avec d’autres sociétés, est actif dans le secteur minier et fournit une source substantielle de revenus pour le gouvernement russe. Il est donc un homme d’affaires influent exerçant des activités en Russie ainsi qu’un homme d’affaires ayant une activité dans un secteur économique fournissant une source substantielle de revenus au gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie, qui est responsable de l’annexion de la Crimée et de la déstabilisation de l’Ukraine. Alisher Usmanov entretient des liens particulièrement étroits avec le président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine. Il a été désigné comme l’un des hommes d’affaires influents préférés de Vladimir Poutine. Il est considéré comme l’un des hommes d’affaires officiels de la Russie chargés de gérer les flux financiers mais dont la position dépend de la volonté du président. Usmanov est réputé avoir agi au nom du président de la Fédération de Russie dans le cadre d’un certain nombre d’accords commerciaux d’importance politique et stratégique. Il entretient également des liens étroits avec Dmitri Medvedev, le vice-président du Conseil de sécurité de la Fédération de Russie et ancien président et Premier ministre de la Russie, qui a bénéficié de l’utilisation personnelle de résidences luxueuses contrôlées par Usmanov. Il a donc apporté un soutien matériel ou financier actif aux décideurs russes responsables de l’annexion de la Crimée et de la déstabilisation de l’Ukraine, et a tiré avantage de ces décideurs. Usmanov est également le propriétaire exclusif du quotidien économique Kommersant. Lorsqu’il a pris le contrôle du quotidien économique “Kommersant”, la liberté de la rédaction a été restreinte et le journal a adopté une position manifestement pro-Kremlin. Sous Usmanov, le Kommersant a publié un article propagandiste anti-ukrainien de Dmitri Medvedev, dans lequel l’ancien président de la Russie affirmait qu’il était inutile d’engager des pourparlers avec les autorités ukrainiennes actuelles, qui, selon lui, étaient sous contrôle étranger direct. Il a donc soutenu activement les politiques de déstabilisation de l’Ukraine menées par le gouvernement russe.
