Person:notesGerman Khan is a Russian businessperson maintaining a close relationship with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, similarly to his business partners, Mikhail Fridman, Petr Aven and Alexey Kuzmichev. In March 2022, he transferred his shares in ABH Holdings, which controls a major Russian bank, Alfa Bank, to his long-time business partner Andrei Kosogov. This transfer was however declared by the National Bank of Ukraine to be null and void. Additionally, the transfer of his shares in A1, which is part of the Alfa Group, is considered fictitious. Khan also has a significant shareholding in Rosvodokanal, another Alfa Group company and one of the leading private operators of water utilities in Russia. He was also a shareholder of the LetterOne investment firm. He continued to manage the Russia-based assets of Alfa Group. He is believed to be one of the most influential persons in Russia. He exchanged favours with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, in return for political support to his business and financial gains. Moreover, he was among the leading Russian businesspersons who participated in the congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs in March 2023, where the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, gave a speech and urged billionaires to put “patriotism before profit”. The insurance company AlfaStrakhovanie, which is part 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 company 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. German Khan is therefore a leading businessperson operating in Russia and a businessperson involved in economic sectors 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. He also supports materially or financially and benefits from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea or the destabilisation of Ukraine.ch_seco_sanctionsch-seco-52264
