Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Mikhail Fridman is a Russian businessperson. He is one of the main shareholders of ABH Holding, which includes a major Russian bank, Alfa Bank. The transfer of his shares in A1, which is part of the Alfa Group, could be considered fictitious. He is also a shareholder of the LetterOne investment firm. He has managed to cultivate strong ties with the administration of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, and has been referred to as a top Russian financier and enabler of Putin’s inner circle. He managed to acquire state assets through government connections. He exchanged favours with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, in return for political support to his business and financial gains. Vladimir Putin rewarded Alfa Group Consortium’s loyalty to the Russian authorities by providing political help for Alfa Group Consortium’s foreign investment plans. The insurance company AlfaStrakhovanie, subsidiary of Alfa Group Consortium, provides insurance to the vehicles of the Federal Service of the National Guard of the Russian Federation (Rosgvardia), whose units operate in the occupied regions of Ukraine under Russian control, as well as the bodyguard vehicles of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. Furthermore, X5 Retail Group, another subsidiary of Alfa Group Consortium, cooperates with JSC Voentorg, an entity subject to restrictive measures which provides catering and laundry services, as well as military uniforms, to the armed forces of the Russian Federation and whose subsidiary sells T-shirts bearing the “Z” military symbol used by Russian propagandists to promote Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Fridman and his business partner Petr Aven have been engaged in the Kremlin’s efforts to lift the Western sanctions issued to counter Russian aggressive policy against Ukraine. Fridman also has a significant shareholding in Rosvodokanal, another Alfa Group company and one of the leading private operators of water utilities in Russia. Therefore, he is a leading businessperson operating in Russia and 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. He actively supported materially or financially and benefitted from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine. He also supported actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.

EU Consolidated Travel Bans,

Personnes associées: le président de la Fédération de Russie Vladimir Poutine, Petr Aven, German Borisovich Khan, Alexey Kuzmichev - Entités associées: JSC Voentorg - Mikhail Fridman est un homme d’affaires russe. Il est l’un des principaux actionnaires d’ABH Holding, qui comprend l’une des principales banques de Russie, Alfa Bank. Le transfert de ses participations dans A1, qui fait partie d’Alfa Group, pourrait être considéré comme fictif. Il est également actionnaire de la société d’investissement LetterOne. Il est parvenu à cultiver des liens étroits avec l’administration du président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine, et on le cite parmi les plus grands financiers russes et comme facilitateur du cercle rapproché de Poutine. Il est parvenu à acquérir des biens d’État grâce à ses relations au sein de l’appareil d’État. Dans un échange de faveurs avec le président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine, il a obtenu un soutien politique à ses affaires et à ses profits financiers. Vladimir Poutine a récompensé le consortium Alfa Group pour sa loyauté envers les autorités russes en apportant un appui politique aux plans d’investissement du consortium Alfa Group à l’étranger. La compagnie d’assurances AlfaStrakhovanie, filiale du consortium Alfa Group, fournit des assurances pour les véhicules du service fédéral de la Garde nationale de la Fédération de Russie (Rosgvardia), dont les unités opèrent dans les régions occupées de l’Ukraine sous contrôle russe, ainsi que pour les véhicules des gardes du corps du président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine. D’autre part, X5 Retail Group, une autre filiale du consortium Alfa Group, coopère avec JSC Voentorg, une entité soumise à des mesures restrictives qui fournit des services de restauration et de blanchisserie, ainsi que des uniformes militaires, aux forces armées de la Fédération de Russie et dont la filiale vend des t-shirts avec le symbole militaire “Z” utilisé par les propagandistes russes pour promouvoir la guerre d’agression menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine. M. Fridman et son associé Petr Aven ont participé aux efforts du Kremlin en vue de lever les sanctions occidentales adoptées en réponse à la politique agressive de la Russie à l’encontre de l’Ukraine. M. Fridman est également un actionnaire important de Rosvodokanal, une autre entreprise du groupe Alfa et l’un des principaux exploitants privés de services de distribution d’eau en Russie. 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. Il a 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. Il a aussi activement soutenu des actions et des politiques qui compromettent ou menacent l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine.
