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.

Personnes associées: le président de la Fédération de Russie Vladimir Poutine, Petr Aven, German Borisovich Khan, Alexey Kuzmichev Entités associées: JSC Voentorg Mikhail Fridman est un homme d’affaires russe. Il est l’un des principaux actionnaires d’ABH Holdings, qui contrôlait l’une des principales banques de Russie, Alfa Bank, et contrôle toujours d’autres sociétés d’Alfa Group. Le transfert de ses participations dans A1, qui fait partie d’Alfa Group, est considéré comme fictif. 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 d’Ukraine sous contrôle russe, ainsi que pour les véhicules des gardes du corps du président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine. AlfaStrakhovanie a également fourni des assurances à des entreprises telles que JSC Kalashnikov Concern et Central Scientific-Research Institute for Precision Machine Engineering (TsNIITochMash), dont les armes sont largement utilisées par l’armée russe en Ukraine, comme notamment lors des atrocités commises à Boutcha. 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. M. Fridman est également un actionnaire important de Rosvodokanal, l’un des principaux exploitants privés de services de distribution d’eau en Russie. Il 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 fournissant 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 ou des politiques qui compromettent ou menacent l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine. En 2024, les autorités russes ont dépossédé les sociétés holding de l’Union de leurs droits de propriété dans la société holding russe d’Alfa Bank, JSC AB Holding, ce qui a permis à Fridman de devenir actionnaire direct de la société russe. Il a ensuite vendu ses nouveaux droits de propriété directe à un tiers, obtenant un paiement considérable en Russie. Il est donc une personne qui a considérablement porté atteinte aux dispositions de la décision 2014/145/PESC du Conseil. Il est également une personne qui a bénéficié d’un transfert obligatoire de propriété et de contrôle d’une entité établie en Russie, précédemment détenue ou contrôlée par des entités établies dans l’Union, effectué par le gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie par voie législative ou réglementaire, par un autre instrument législatif ou par une autre action d’une autorité publique russe.

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.
