Chairman and largest single shareholder in Bank Rossiya. Personal banker for senior officials, including President Putin
Mr Kovalchuk is a long-time acquaintance of President Putin. He is a co-founder of the so-called Ozero Dacha, a cooperative society bringing together an influential group of individuals around President Putin. He is benefiting from his links with Russian decision-makers. He is the chairman and largest shareholder of Bank Rossiya, of which he owned around 38 % in 2013, and which is considered the personal bank of senior officials of the Russian Federation. Since the illegal annexation of Crimea, Bank Rossiya has opened branches across Crimea and Sevastopol, thereby consolidating their integration into the Russian Federation. Through Bank Rossiya, Mr Kovalchuk also took control of Crimean wineries, vineyards and distilleries. Furthermore, Bank Rossiya has important stakes in the National Media Group, which in turn controls television stations which actively support the Russian government’s policies of destabilisation of Ukraine. In 2021, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded Yuri Kovalchuk the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree, for his great contribution to the implementation of socially significant projects in the Republic of Crimea.
Yuriy Kovalchuk est une connaissance de longue date du président Poutine. Il est cofondateur de “Ozero Dacha”, société coopérative réunissant un groupe influent de personnes autour du président Poutine. Il tire profit de ses relations avec des décideurs russes. Il est président et actionnaire principal de Bank Rossiya, dont il détenait environ 38 % en 2013 et qui est considérée comme la banque personnelle des hauts fonctionnaires de la Fédération de Russie. Depuis l’annexion illégale de la Crimée, Bank Rossiya a ouvert des succursales en Crimée et à Sébastopol, consolidant ainsi son intégration dans la Fédération de Russie. Par l’intermédiaire de Bank Rossiya, Yuriy Kovalchuk a également pris le contrôle des caves, des vignobles et des distilleries de Crimée. Par ailleurs, Bank Rossiya détient d’importantes participations dans le National Media Group, qui contrôle des chaînes de télévision soutenant activement les politiques du gouvernement russe visant à déstabiliser l’Ukraine. En 2021, le président russe Vladimir Poutine a décerné à Yuriy Kovalchuk la médaille de quatrième classe de l’ordre du “Mérite pour la patrie” pour sa contribution importante à la mise en œuvre de projets d’importance sociale en République de Crimée.

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. | Возглавляемый Ковальчуком АБ «Россия» называют «банком друзей Путина». Помимо Ковальчука, с банком связаны и другие соседи президента по кооперативу «Озеро». Так, среди акционеров значатся Геннадий Тимченко (9,8%) и Николай Шамалов (9,6%), в свою очередь, соучредителями банка были Владимир Якунин, а также Андрей и Сергей Фурсенко. | По информации OCCRP, спекуляции на акциях банка «Россия» позволили заработать другу Владимира Путина виолончелисту Сергею Ролдугину около 420 млн рублей в течение всего двух дней. | В марте 2014 года США ввели санкции против банка «Россия» на основании того, что банк «оказывает материальную поддержку российским правительственным чиновникам» и находится под контролем представителя «ближнего круга» Владимира Путина. Санкции в отношении банка позднее также ввела Канада, признав его ответственным за «подрыв суверенитета Украины». В апреле 2014 года банк «Россия» открыл филиалы в Крыму, поддержав таким образом, аннексию полуострова.
Возможные нарушения закона | В действиях Юрия Ковальчука могут содержаться признаки следующих составов преступлений, предусмотренных УК РФ: | — Ст. 210 УК РФ «Организация преступного сообщества (преступной организации) или участие в нем (ней)», то есть участие в деятельности преступного сообщества, созданного с целью насильственного незаконного удержания власти вопреки требованиям Конституции РФ и систематического совершения других преступлений против власти, правосудия, интересов службы и мира. | — Ст. 174 УК РФ «Легализация (отмывание) денежных средств или иного имущества, приобретенных другими лицами преступным путем», то есть совершение финансовых операций и других сделок с денежными средствами или иным имуществом, заведомо приобретенными другими лицами преступным путем, в целях придания правомерного вида владению, пользованию и распоряжению указанными денежными средствами или иным имуществом.
