Arkady Rotenberg est un homme d’affaires influent exerçant des activités en Russie qui a des liens personnels étroits avec le président de la Fédération de Russie Vladimir Poutine. Depuis mars 2014, Rotenberg ou ses sociétés ont obtenu des marchés publics pour un montant total de plus de 7 milliards de dollars US. En 2015, Rotenberg figurait en tête de la liste annuelle des adjudicataires de marchés publics en termes de valeur, après s’être vu attribuer des marchés d’une valeur de 555 milliards de roubles par le gouvernement russe. L’attribution de bon nombre de ces marchés s’est faite sans procédure formelle de mise en concurrence. Le 30 janvier 2015, le Premier ministre Dmitri Medvedev a signé un décret attribuant à la société de Rotenberg, Stroygazmontazh, un marché public en vue de la construction du pont du détroit de Kertch entre la Russie et la “République autonome de Crimée”, annexée illégalement. À travers ces marchés, il a tiré financièrement avantage de décideurs russes responsables de l’annexion de la Crimée ou de la déstabilisation de l’est de l’Ukraine. Il est l’ancien propriétaire de la société Stroygazmontazh, qui s’est vu attribuer un marché public en vue de la construction du pont du détroit de Kertch entre la Russie et la “République autonome de Crimée”, annexée illégalement, consolidant ainsi son intégration dans la Fédération de Russie, ce qui compromet encore davantage l’intégrité territoriale de l’Ukraine. De même, en janvier 2017, la société Stroygazmontazh a remporté un marché public d’un montant de 17 milliards de roubles pour la construction d’une ligne ferroviaire sur le pont du détroit de Kertch, ce qui compromet à nouveau davantage l’intégrité territoriale de l’Ukraine. Il est propriétaire de deux sociétés, Mostotrest et Stroygazmontazh-Most, désignées pour leurs activités portant atteinte à la souveraineté ukrainienne (entités nos 43 et 46 de la présente annexe). En 2019, Rotenberg a vendu la société de construction de gazoducs Stroygazmontazh. Pour sa participation à la construction du pont du détroit de Kertch, il a été décoré en mars 2020 de l’ordre d’État de “Héros du travail de la Fédération de Russie”. Il est président du conseil d’administration de la maison d’édition Prosvescheniye, qui a notamment mis en œuvre le projet “To the Children of Russia: Address — Crimea”, une campagne de relations publiques destinée à persuader les enfants de Crimée qu’ils sont maintenant des citoyens russes vivant en Russie, et soutient ainsi la politique du gouvernement russe visant à intégrer la Crimée dans la Russie. Le 30 janvier 2021, Arkady Rotenberg s’est déclaré bénéficiaire du soi-disant “Palais de Poutine” à Guelendjik, qui apparaît dans l’enquête menée par la Fondation anticorruption d’Alexeï Navalny.
