About this Talk
Unraveling Kleptocracy: Charting the Companies under Russian Oligarch Control and Investigating Their Connections to Money Laundering and Financial Crimes. In the wake of the military invasion of Ukraine, governments worldwide swiftly implemented an increasing number of restrictive measures targeting Russian individuals and entities. These measures have created an urgent need to enhance our understanding of the global assets held by Russian oligarchs. This research delves into the preliminary results of a large-scale analysis focused on examining the companies controlled by Russian entities subject to sanctions in various European countries. The study aims to shed light on several key aspects, including: (a) The geographic distribution of these firms, revealing the countries, regions, and economic sectors in which they operate. (b) The intricate mechanisms through which these firms are controlled, encompassing corporate ownership structures, holding companies, and intermediary jurisdictions employed to exert control over these entities. (c) An exploration of the ownership and governance schemes employed by these firms investigating potential implications of money laundering, financial crime, and the circumvention of sanctions.
