Summary

Russian–Israeli businessman, billionaire, and oligarch

Michaił Fridman (Mikhail Fridman) jest założycielem ALFA Banku – największego rosyjskiego banku prywatnego, piątego co do wielkości banku w Federacji Rosyjskiej objętego sankcjami przez Stany Zjednoczone Ameryki na podstawie Executive Order 14024 – podmiot dodany 6 kwietnia 2022 r. do SDN prowadzonej przez OFAC (Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control). Michaił Fridman został wpisany 11 marca 2022 r. na listę sankcji rządu Wlk. Brytanii na podstawie Sanctions and Anti – Money Laundering Act 2018 – nr 591, ID: RUS 0664. Jest również objęty sankcjami UE (nr 675 załącznika I do rozporządzenia (UE) nr 269/2014 w sprawie środków ograniczających w odniesieniu do działań podważających integralność terytorialną, suwerenność i niezależność Ukrainy lub im zagrażających do wykazu osób, podmiotów i organów). Według dostępnych danych oligarcha jest nieformalnym liderem grupy wpływu skupionej wokół akcjonariuszy Alfa Banku. Należy do grupy tzw. oligarchów jelcynowskich, która popierając rządy W. Putina uzyskała koncesję na prowadzenie biznesu i ochronę aktywów przed działaniami służb państwowych. Kontroluje podmiot o znaczeniu strategicznym dla rządu rosyjskiego, w związku z czym czerpie korzyści lub wspiera rząd Federacji Rosyjskiej, którego działania destabilizują lub podważają integralność terytorialną, suwerenność i niezależność Ukrainy. Istnieje ciągłe zagrożenie koordynacji działań M. Fridmana z rządem rosyjskim.

Russian oligarch. Amid the war, he remains involved at the highest level in the system of Russian political corruption, in which capital is an instrument for acquiring political influence, and political influence is a condition for preserving capital.

Founder and largest shareholder of Alfa Group

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. Mikhail Fridman is a Russian businessperson. He is one of the main shareholders of ABH Holdings, which controlled a major Russian bank, Alfa Bank, and still controls other companies in the Alfa Group. The transfer of his shares in A1, which is part of the Alfa Group, is considered fictitious. 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. AlfaStrakhovanie has also provided insurance to companies such as the JSC Kalashnikov Concern and the Central Scientific-Research Institute for Precision Machine Engineering (TsNIITochMash), whose weapons are widely used by the Russian military in Ukraine, including during the atrocities in Bucha. 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 also has a significant shareholding in Rosvodokanal, one of the leading private operators of water utilities in Russia. In 2024, the Russian authorities expropriated the property rights of Union holding companies in the Russian holding company of Alfa Bank, JSC AB Holding, allowing Fridman to become a direct shareholder of the Russian company. He subsequently sold his new direct property rights to a third party, obtaining a considerable payment in Russia. He is thus a person who has been significantly frustrating provisions of Council Decision 2014/145/CFSP. He is also a person who has benefitted from a compulsory transfer of ownership and control of an entity established in Russia, previously owned or controlled by entities established in the Union, by the Government of the Russian Federation through laws, regulations, other legislative instruments or other action of a Russian public authority.
