Почему в списке | Участие и пособничество в деятельности организованного преступного сообщества, созданного с целью систематического совершения особо опасных преступлений, направленных против основ конституционного строя и безопасности государства, государственной власти и интересов государственной службы, правосудия, а также против мира и безопасности. | Согласно информации СМИ, Геннадий Тимченко входит в «ближний круг» Владимира Путина; он подозревается в совершении незаконных финансовых операций с участием высокопоставленных должностных лиц РФ. | Компаниям, принадлежащим Геннадию Тимченко, неоднократно доставались многомиллионные государственные контракты без конкурса. В 2017 году Тимченко занял пятое место в рейтинге Forbes «Короли госзаказа», общая сумма полученных им господрядов составила 137,7 млрд рублей. | Подозревается в хищении государственной собственности. Согласно журналистским расследованиям, структуры Тимченко совместно с Ильей Елисеевым, однокурсником премьер-министра Дмитрия Медведева и заместителем председателя правления Газпромбанка, осуществляли покупку по заниженной цене недвижимости, находившейся в собственности Управления делами президента. | По информации СМИ, Геннадий Тимченко может быть причастным к хищению 1,3 млрд долларов, вскрывшемуся после банкротства Первого Чешско-Российского Банка. | Исходя из данных открытых источников, подозревается в организации продажи «Юганскнефтегаза», отобранного за налоговые долги у ЮКОСа в 2004 году. | Расследование The Economist выявило, что Gunvor манипулировал сырьевым рынком, занижая цены на нефть, в результате чего российский бюджет мог понести значительные потери. | В 2014 году министерство юстиции и прокуратура США обвинили Геннадия Тимченко в отмывании денег. Прокуратура Швейцарии расследует деятельность Gunvor в связи с вероятными злоупотреблениями при заключении контрактов в Республике Конго, возможном подкупе чиновников и легализации денег через швейцарские компании. | Согласно докладу Пола Волкера, компании Тимченко участвовали в сомнительных операциях по покупке иракской нефти в рамках программы «Нефть в обмен на продовольствие».
