Metalloinvest Founder

Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

Largest holding: steel giant Metalloinvest. Owner of business daily “Kommersant”.

Belgian Financial Sanctions,

Alisher Usmanov is a pro-Kremlin leading businessperson having interests in iron ore and steel, media, telecommunications and internet companies. His largest holding is the steel giant Metalloinvest, which, together with other companies, is operating in the mineral sector, providing substantial source of revenue to the Russian Government. Alisher Usmanov has particularly close ties to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. He has been referred to as one of Vladimir Putin’s favourite leading businesspersons. He is considered to be one of Russia’s businesspersons-officials, who were entrusted with servicing financial flows but whose positions depend on the will of the President. Usmanov has reportedly fronted for the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and solved his business problems. He also has close ties with Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia and former President and Prime Minister of Russia, who benefitted from the personal use of luxurious residences controlled by Usmanov.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

When Usmanov took control of the business daily “Kommersant”, the freedom of the editorial staff was curtailed and the newspaper took a manifestly pro-Kremlin stance. Kommersant under Usmanov’s ownership published a propagandist anti-Ukrainian article by Dmitry Medvedev, in which the former President of Russia argued that it was meaningless to engage in talks with the current Ukrainian authorities, who in his opinion were under direct foreign control.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Therefore he actively supported the Russian government’s policies of destabilisation of Ukraine.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Furthermore, 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.

EU Consolidated Travel Bans,

Alisher Usmanov est un homme d’affaires influent pro-Kremlin qui a des intérêts dans des sociétés des secteurs du minerai de fer et de l’acier, des médias, des télécommunications et de l’internet. Sa principale holding est le géant de l’acier Metalloinvest qui, avec d’autres sociétés, est actif dans le secteur minier et constitue une source substantielle de revenus pour le gouvernement russe. Alisher Usmanov entretient des liens particulièrement étroits avec le président de la Fédération de Russie Vladimir Poutine. Il a été désigné comme l’un des hommes d’affaires influents préférés de Vladimir Poutine. Il est considéré comme l’un des hommes d’affaires officiels de la Russie chargés de gérer les flux financiers mais dont la position dépend de la volonté du président. Usmanov aurait fait office de façade pour le président de la Fédération de Russie Vladimir Poutine et résolu ses problèmes dans le domaine des affaires. Il entretient également des liens étroits avec Dmitri Medvedev, le vice-président du conseil de sécurité de la Russie et ancien président et Premier ministre de la Russie, qui a bénéficié de l’utilisation personnelle de résidences luxueuses contrôlées par Usmanov. Il a donc 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. En outre, il est un homme d’affaires influent exerçant des activités en Russie ainsi qu’un homme d’affaires intervenant dans un secteur économique constituant une source substantielle de revenus pour le gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie, qui est responsable de l’annexion de la Crimée et de la déstabilisation de l’Ukraine. Lorsqu’Usmanov a pris le contrôle du quotidien économique “Kommersant”, la liberté de la rédaction a été restreinte et le journal a adopté une position manifestement pro-Kremlin. Sous Usmanov, le Kommersant a publié un article propagandiste anti-ukrainien de Dmitri Medvedev, dans lequel l’ancien président de la Russie affirmait qu’il était inutile d’engager des pourparlers avec les autorités ukrainiennes actuelles, qui, selon lui, étaient sous contrôle étranger direct. Il a donc soutenu activement les politiques de déstabilisation de l’Ukraine menées par le gouvernement russe.
