Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Petr Aven is a Russian businessperson with close links to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, dating back to the early 1990s. He is an important shareholder of ABH Financial Limited, which includes a major Russian bank, Alfa Bank. He is also a shareholder of the LetterOne investment firm. Aven benefitted from his 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. The President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin rewarded Alfa Group Consortium’s loyalty to the Russian authorities by providing political help to 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’s. 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. He is one of approximately 50 wealthy Russian businesspersons who regularly meet with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin. He took directives from the president of Russia and implemented his foreign policy agenda. Aven and his business partner Mikhail Fridman have been engaged in the Kremlin’s efforts to lift the Western sanctions issued to counter Russian aggressive policy against Ukraine. On 24 February 2022, in the aftermath of the initial stages of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, Petr Aven, along with 36 other businesspersons, met with the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and other members of the Russian government to discuss the impact of the course of action in the wake of Western sanctions. The fact that he was invited to attend this meeting shows that he is a member of the closest circle of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. That special invitation shows that he is supporting or implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine. Therefore, Petr Aven 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, Mikhaïl Fridman, German Borisovich Khan, Alexey Kuzmichev - Entités associées: JSC Voentorg - Petr Aven est un homme d’affaires russe entretenant avec le président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine, des liens étroits remontant au début des années 1990. Il est un actionnaire important 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 fait partie des quelque 50 femmes et hommes d’affaires russes fortunés que le président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine, reçoit régulièrement au Kremlin. Il a pris des directives du président de la Russie et a mis en œuvre son programme de politique étrangère. Aven et son associé Mikhaïl Fridman 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. Le 24 février 2022, après les premières phases de la guerre d’agression menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine, Piotr Aven ainsi que 36 autres femmes et hommes d’affaires ont rencontré le président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine, et d’autres membres du gouvernement russe pour discuter de l’incidence des choix à opérer à la suite des sanctions occidentales. Le fait qu’il ait été invité à participer à cette réunion montre qu’il appartient au cercle le plus proche du président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine. Cette invitation spéciale montre qu’il soutient ou met en œuvre des actions ou des politiques qui compromettent ou menacent l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine, ainsi que la stabilité et la sécurité en Ukraine. Aven a tiré avantage de 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. Le président de la Fédération de Russie, 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. Petr Aven 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 qui fournit 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.
