Along with his wife he has illegally acquired large sums of money from corruption and government contracts as Alexey Navalny's investigations have shown. He shot a propaganda-film on taxpayers' money about the Crimean Bridge (build after illegal annexation of the peninsula by Russian Federation). Supported the annexation, invasion of Donbass, and the recent escalation of the war in Ukraine. Called the war ("special operation") "necessary" because of "Western actions".

According to a credible public investigation, he is involved in a corruption scheme run by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. Receives state funds from the budget of the city of Moscow for PR support of Sergei Sobyanin and the activities of the ruling political regime under the guise of providing services to the city of Moscow.

Person:notesMr Tigran Keosayan is a film director and journalist who has spread anti-Ukrainian propaganda in the Russian media. In his state-funded TV show “International Sawmill with Tigran Keosayan”, he consistently portrayed Ukraine as a weak and corrupt country, which had been maintained solely thanks to Western help. He suggested that the Ukrainian authorities were not legitimate. He repeatedly stated that Crimea belonged to Russia, and that Donbas was not part of Ukraine. Mr Keosayan participated in the “Russian Donbas” forum which was organised by the authorities of the so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic” in Donetsk with an aim to spread the doctrine of “Russian Donbas”. He publicly accused Ukraine of escalating the conflict. Therefore, he is responsible for actively 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 he benefitted from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine. The TV show “International Sawmill with Tigran Keosayan” received funding from Russian state-owned companies, which was unjustified on commercial grounds, but was granted as a reward to Mr Keosayan for his propagandist efforts and for his loyalty to Vladimir Putin. Mr Keosayan directed a propagandist film “The Crimean Bridge. Made with Love!”, which glorified the Crimean Bridge which connects the territory of the illegally annexed Crimean Peninsula to Russia. The film was reportedly conceived as a gift to President Putin. Alexei Gromov, first deputy head of the presidential administration, helped to ensure state funding for the film, thanks to which Mr Keosayan achieved financial profit.ch_seco_sanctionsch-seco-50858

Person:notesFunction: Actor and director, host of the propagandist TV show on political affairs on NTV channel, called “International Sawmill with Tigran Keosayan”.ch_seco_sanctionsch-seco-50858
Person:notesM. Tigran Keosayan est réalisateur et journaliste et a diffusé de la propagande anti-ukrainienne dans les médias russes. Dans son émission télévisée financée par l’État intitulée "Scierie internationale avec Tigran Keosayan", il a systématiquement représenté l’Ukraine comme un pays faible et corrompu, qui a uniquement pu se maintenir grâce à l’aide occidentale. Il a suggéré que les autorités ukrainiennes n’étaient pas légitimes. Il a déclaré à maintes reprises que la Crimée appartient à la Russie et que le Donbass ne fait pas partie de l’Ukraine. M. Keosayan a participé au forum "Donbass russe" qui a été organisé par les autorités de la soi-disant "République populaire de Donetsk" dans le but de diffuser la doctrine du "Donbass russe". Il a publiquement accusé l’Ukraine d’aggraver le conflit. Il est donc responsable de soutenir activement ou de mettre en œuvre des actions ou des politiques compromettant ou menaçant l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine, ainsi que la stabilité et la sécurité en Ukraine. L’émission télévisée "Scierie internationale avec Tigran Keosayan" a reçu des financements d’entreprises publiques russes, qui étaient injustifiés d’un point de vue commercial, mais qui ont été accordés comme récompense à M. Keosayan pour ses efforts en matière de propagande et sa loyauté à l’égard de Vladimir Poutine. M. Keosayan a réalisé le film de propagande intitulé "Le pont de Crimée. Fait avec Amour!", qui glorifiait le pont de Crimée reliant à la Russie le territoire de la péninsule de Crimée illégalement annexée. Le film aurait été conçu comme un cadeau au président Poutine. Alexei Gromov, premier adjoint du chef de l’administration présidentielle, a contribué à l’obtention du financement public pour le film, par lequel M. Keosayan a réalisé un bénéfice financier. Il a donc tiré parti de décideurs russes responsables de l’annexion de la Crimée et de la déstabilisation de l’Ukraine.frafr_tresor_gels_avoirfr-ga-4288
