from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oleg Deripaska (2012)

Oleg Vladimirovich Deripaska ( Russian Оле́г Влади́мирович Дерипа́ска ; born January 2, 1968 in Dzerzhinsk , Nizhny Novgorod Oblast ), is a Russian oligarch . He is the founder and owner of Basic Element , one of the largest Russian industrial groups, as well as President of the En + Group and founder and co-owner of the Russian RUSAL group, the second largest aluminum manufacturer in the world.

Life

Deripaska grew up in Ust-Labinsk ( Krasnodar Territory ); there he went to middle school No. 2.

He spent his childhood on the family's small farm. From his grandparents he learned the discipline of hard farm labor; they also encouraged his thirst for knowledge and his passion for reading. His grandparents also taught him many details about agriculture. Both grandfathers fought in World War II. One of them fell in Austria and was buried there in a mass grave, the other returned to Russia after the end of the war. Around 2018, he had a memorial built for his deceased grandfather in the small town of Laa an der Thaya.

Deripaska started as an electrician apprentice at the age of 11 in the industrial company in Ust-Labinsk, where his mother also worked. Here he mainly waited for electric motors.

At a young age, his favorite authors were Thomas Mayne Reid and Jack London . Because of the small selection of literature in the libraries available to him, he concentrated more and more on books of technical sciences and on mathematical textbooks. Today, the headquarters of the 'Basic Element' investment group have walls filled with books that reflect his love of literature.

Oleg Deripaska has been married since 2001 and has one son. The family lives in Moscow.

Deripaska practices yoga, swimming, horse riding, and hiking. At his residence near Moscow, he keeps seven horses and six dogs.

In 2017, Deripaska bought a Cypriot passport ("golden visa") and thus obtained Union citizenship of the European Union .

Career

His mathematical talent helped him enroll in the physics faculty of Moscow's Lomonosov State University in 1985 . He was called up for military service in 1986 and served until 1989 in the strategic missile forces of the Soviet Army in the Transbaikal sea area in Siberia. In 1993 he finished his physics studies with distinction. In 1996 he graduated from the Russian Plekhanov University of Economics .

The collapse of the Soviet Union and the associated loss of academic funding made it impossible for Deripaska to continue studying theoretical physics at Moscow's Lomonosov State University after graduation. There were no more scholarships or grants for students. "We had no money. The urgent and practically daily question was: How can I earn money to buy food and finance my studies? ”He said later.

At the age of 25, Deripaska founded his first metal trading company under the name "VTK". His goal: to establish a systematic, scientific approach to raw materials trading together with befriended physicists, engineers and rocket scientists.

He benefited from export arbitrage by buying metal at low Russian prices and then selling it abroad at significantly higher international market prices. Most of the trade went through the new Baltic state of Estonia , as the system of Russian export licenses was in a mess. “I started my business at an unusual time. The country in which I was born and raised no longer existed, and the new country was not yet fully formed. The first gave me an excellent education; the second gave me the chance to succeed, ”explained Deripaska.

Almost all of the profits from the trading and arbitrage operations were used to buy the initial stake in Sayanogorsk Aluminum Smelter, a smelter in southern Siberia. Between 1993 and 1994 Deripaska bought coupons and shares in Sayanogorsk, increasing his stake in the factory until he was the largest single shareholder after the state. In 1994 Deripaska became the general manager of the factory.

In 1997 the smelter became the core asset of the Sibirsky Aluminum Group .

From 1994 to 1997 Deripaska was the managing director and main shareholder of the Sayanogorsk Smelter Group; from 1997 to 2001 he was President of the Sibirsky Aluminum Investment Industrial Group, which later became the core asset of RUSAL. After acquisitions, mergers and changes, RUSAL was on the way to becoming the largest aluminum producer in the world until it was overtaken by the Chinese Hongqiao Group in 2015. In 2010, under Deripaska's leadership, RUSAL was the first Russian company to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange .

In addition to metals, which remained the focus of its diversified industrial holdings, Deripaska also gradually acquired shares in a wide variety of industries including energy, manufacturing, commercial vehicles, auto parts, financial and insurance services, leasing, construction, aerospace and agriculture. Its assets include (as of 2015) the Siberian electricity company EuroSibEnergo (the largest private Russian energy company), Ingosstrakh (one of the largest Russian insurance companies), construction companies that helped build the infrastructure for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, the GAZ Group (a Manufacturers for cars, trucks and buses), agricultural companies (e.g. Kuban Agro Holding), and transport companies (e.g. a group of airports in the Krasnodar region, including Sochi and Krasnodar where the 2014 Winter Olympics were hosted and where the FIFA World Cup will be held in 2018.) All of these activities are part of the diversified investment and corporate group Basic Elements.

In 2010 Deripaska competed with Vladimir Potanin , another Russian oligarch, for supremacy at Norilsk Nickel . At that time both held 25% of the shares in this raw materials company .

Holdings

Basic element

Deripaska is the sole owner and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Basic Element , a diversified investment group founded in 1997. Basic Element's assets are concentrated in five areas: energy, manufacturing, financial services, agriculture, construction and aviation. The largest assets include a. United Company RUSAL, the producer of aluminum and alumina; the GAZ Group , an automotive group; Ingosstrakh, the country's oldest insurance company; Bank SOYUZ (Банк «СОЮЗ»); Aviakor aircraft manufacturer; EuroSibEnergo (ЕвроСибЭнерго), an investment and energy company ;, Glavmosstroy (Главмосстрой), a construction company; Kuban Agroholding, an agricultural company and Basel Aero an aviation company, consisting of the four largest airports in the Krasnodar Territory (in a joint venture with Changi Airports International).

Basic Element also has companies and subsidiaries in Russia, the CIS countries , Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe and Latin America. In 2015, the group employed around 200,000 people worldwide.

Metal and mining

UC RUSAL

The United Company RUSAL (Russian: ОК РУСАЛ, / OK RUSAL /) is the second largest aluminum company in the world. Until it was overtaken by China's Hongqiao Group in 2015, it was the world leader in the sector. UC RUSAL's aluminum production accounts for almost 7% of the world's aluminum and alumina production. The United Company was formed through the merger of RUSAL (Russian: Русский алюминий), SUAL and Glencore's alumina plants, which was completed in March 2007. The company operates in 20 countries on all five continents and employs over 61,000 people in its international operations and offices.

In 2000, Deripaskas Sibirsky Aluminum and Roman Abramowitsch's Millhouse Capital partnered to manage the aluminum and alumina companies they controlled and formed RUSAL. In 2003, Deripaska-led companies increased their stake in this joint venture to 75% by taking over half of the interests managed by Millhouse Capital.

In 2004, with the takeover of the remaining 25% of Millhouse Capital in RUSAL, the consolidation of the ownership structure - through companies affiliated with Deripaska - was completed.

In order to ensure a stable supply of aluminum oxide to its aluminum smelters, several mergers and acquisitions were carried out by RUSAL. In the early 2000s, RUSAL took over bauxite mines in Guinea , the country with the world's largest bauxite deposits. Subsequently, RUSAL took over a share in an aluminum oxide refinery in Australia . After the merger with Glencore, RUSAL invested in bauxite and alumina plants in Jamaica , Italy and Ireland . These transactions transformed RUSAL from a company with limited stocks of raw bauxite to a vertically integrated company.

At the same time, Deripaska invested heavily in the operational improvement of the smelter in Russia: “We have consolidated the industry and found bauxite that does not exist in Russia. We have built a company that has become the industry leader in less than twelve years. But to become the world's largest aluminum producer, we had to improve our operational practice. For best practice, we looked at Toyota, which has been using a precise, deep, and well-thought-out process for nearly 30 years of operation. "

Deripaska herself has always been an active supporter of the kind of production efficiency that Toyota made popular. The RUSAL smelters have adopted the Kaizen concept, which in Western parlance means continuous improvement and in which the employees are trained in standardized production techniques. It is important to change the way the company thinks and also the reporting lines. Understand that everything is in the hands of the operator, and empower that operator to drive efficiency and improvements right on the factory floor.

Under Deripaska's leadership, RUSAL undertook major modernization projects at many of its production facilities, including the aluminum smelters in Bratsk, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk.

In 2007, RUSAL, at that time the world's largest aluminum producer, the SUAL Group, one of the 10 largest aluminum producers in the world, and Glencore International AG , a Swiss raw materials group, merged to form United Company RUSAL, the world's largest aluminum and aluminum oxide manufacturer. In 2008 RUSAL bought 25 percent of the arctic mining company Norilsk Nickel.

When the global economic crisis affected the company in 2007 , Deripaska returned to RUSAL as CEO to lead it through a debt restructuring process. “I worked 16 hours a day. We were in arrears, even if none of those involved wanted to call it that. " As part of the emergency response, Deripaska reduced RUSAL's costs by 25% in 2009. By December 2009, Deripaska had reached a final agreement with over 70 Russian and international donors to refinance US $ 17 billion in debt. In 2010, under Deripaska's leadership, RUSAL received HKD 17.4 billion (USD 2.24 billion) from the first public offering of a Russian company in Hong Kong. The IPO attracted investors like John Paulson from Paulson & Co , Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing from Cheung Kong Holdings and British Baron Nat Rothschild from NR Investments Ltd. on. During this time, Nat Rothschild was a friend and advisor.

In the years that followed, Deripaska was a strong advocate of producer discipline in the aluminum market. "We have to produce as much as demand demands. As we find out, it takes time to train people to do this. So we wait for the aluminum industry to do its homework and ultimately consumption will be enough space for the capacity available create."

Deripaska was recognized by Metal Bulletin with the "Aluminum Industry Ambassador Award" for its "great impact on the global aluminum industry and the wider market".

From 2015, Deripaska, as President of RUSAL, focused on the strategic development of the company until he had to resign in May 2018 in connection with the American sanctions.

It was one of the 20 largest farms in 2006 and among the top 5 most effective land users in Russia.

The Kuban Agro Holding is one of the few agricultural companies in Russia, which in the development of embryo transfer technology is involved, which allows the reproduction of high-performance cows from less productive receivers.

The company received a lot of media attention with its maize seed program, which produced several maize varieties selected by genetic engineering specialists.

construction

Before the global financial crisis, Deripaska owned 25% of all Strabag shares, but had to sell them again. In 2010 Deripaska again acquired a 17% stake in the Austrian construction company Strabag, combined with the option of being able to acquire the remaining 8% from the previous share package by 2014. In return, Strabag received a 26% stake in the leading Russian road construction company Transstroy.

Deripaska's group built several Olympic facilities for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, including the Olympic coastal village, the Imeretinsky seaport, Doubler des Kurortny Prospect in Sochi and renovated the Sochi International Airport. The total investment was over USD 1.4 billion.

capital

According to Forbes' list of the richest entrepreneurs in 2008, Forbes magazine estimated Oleg Deripaska's net worth at $ 28 billion, making him the ninth richest man in the world. In 2009 Deripaska dropped to 164th, with Forbes commenting, "[He] may not be able to withstand collapsing markets and high debt." However, in 2010, his estimated net worth of $ 10.7 billion allowed him to climb to number 57 on the billionaires list. According to Forbes, he took over from the directors of his two largest companies and personally negotiated with the Russian government, banks and other creditors to restructure his loan liabilities. Deripaska himself allegedly said over and over again in 2007 that his estimated fortune was exaggerated, that it did not include all of his debts, and that he should be well among Russia's top ten billionaires.

In 2010, Forbes estimated Deripaska's net worth at $ 10.7 billion in 2015 - at $ 3.5 billion, in 2017 - at $ 5.1 billion, and in 2019 - at $ 3.7 billion.

"Everyone is for it; we should just have more or less fair regulations. There should be no ways to undermine the system. People should not accept anything that leads to another Kyoto Protocol that only makes nice statements," he said in an interview with the Financial Times .

From 2007, when RUSAL became a strategic partner of the World Economic Forum (WEF), he was a permanent participant in the meetings of the International Economic Forum .

Deripaska built a Russian Orthodox church in Austria in honor of his grandfather, who died during the last fighting of the Second World War near Laa an der Thaya and is buried in the Russian military cemetery there. The Church was consecrated and dedicated on September 30, 2018, in the presence of Deripaska. It is a 1: 2 copy of the Church of the Protection and Intercession of Mary on the Nerl . Out of respect for the local population, the building will not tower over the church tower of the cemetery chapel. Russian sandstone is used as a building material.

Foundation and social engagement

Deripaskas Volnoe Delo has supported research activities in the 2550 year old city of Phanagoria since 2004 . Over the past 10 years, more than $ 10 million has been allocated to Phanagoria field research. Today Phanagoria is one of the best equipped archaeological expeditions in Russia and has its own scientific and cultural center, the most modern equipment and technology for excavations above ground or under water, and a large team of specialists involved in the excavation process.

Deripaska is a big dog lover. In February 2014, he funded the construction of makeshift kennels for stray dogs abandoned by construction workers after their work at the Olympic Village of Sochi was completed. Officials hired a company to eradicate the animals because the 2,000+ strays posed a risk of rabies . A large number of these dogs were rescued or placed through the worldwide adoption program founded by Deripaska.

In the same year Volnoe Delo started a program for the early career orientation of students and the training for JuniorSkills.

Corruption allegations in the course of the Rybka affair

In early 2018, a political scandal broke out in Russia after Alexei Navalny and his Anti-Corruption Fund (FBK) published the video Yachts, Oligarchs and Girls: Man Slayer Unmasked Corrupt Officials on February 8 , in which Instagram posts by the Belarusian prostitute Anastasia Vashukevich, also known by the pseudonym Nastja Rybka, demonstrates the close relationship between the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and the member of the Russian government Sergei Prichodko . The Russian media referred to this scandal in reference to the Watergate affair as "Rybka Gate".

Declaration of the "sex hunt" on Navalny

The investigation by Navalny and his team was initiated by two videos on Instagram (from September 17, 2017) and YouTube (from September 22, 2017) in which young women, including Nastja Rybka, call out a "sex hunt" for Navalny because he allegedly planning a "bloody revolution" in Russia. At the same time as the videos were published, several scantily clad young women in latex stormed the FBK premises in Moscow and harassed the employees. The whole action was filmed by journalists from LifeNews (today: Life or Лайф), who allegedly happened to be there with their camera. It turned out that the young women and Nastja Rybka belong to a kind of sex sect of the Belarusian guru and “sex trainer” Alex Leslie (real name Alexandr Kirillov). The targets of the Leslie followers are influential men. And indeed, in 2016, Nastja Rybka managed to hook up with the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. To prove her affair, she published numerous photos on her Instagram account in which she can be seen with Deripaska. Various Russian tabloids reported on this in the run-up to the scandal, mainly because Deripaska was still married at the time.

Deripaska and Prichodko on the yacht Elden

Because the young women caught Alexei Navalny’s attention through video messages and storming the FBK headquarters in Moscow, while looking through Nastja Rybka's Instagram account, his employees quickly came across a video in which Deripaska was on a yacht with one Another man can be seen (Nastja and 6 other women from the Leslies sect were also invited there). You can also hear a conversation between Deripaska and Nastja, in which the oligarch explains that the reason for the bad relations between the USA and Russia is none other than Victoria Nuland , a friend of Sergei Eduardowitsch. Because she spent several months on a whaler when she was young and has not been able to stand Russia since then.

Navalny and his team realize that the man you see in the video on the yacht next to Deripaska, and is mentioned in the conversation between Nastya and Deripaska, one and the same person is the man, namely Sergei Eduardovich Prikhodko , Deputy Government Chairman of the Russian Federation, which is also on the yacht. Prichodko is an expert on foreign policy and one of the most influential politicians in this field.

In addition, the FBK notes that Nastja Rybka has published a book - diary about the seduction of a billionaire, or a clone for the oligarch (Russian: Дневник по соблазнению Миллиардера, или Клон для оли Клон для describes in dem, или Клон для оли Клон для оли Клон для оли Клон для оли Клон для оли Клон для describes in dem. what happened on the yacht. With the help of the book, the Instagram photos, tracking services for ship movements and Norwegian press reports, the FBK found out that the yacht is called "Elden", belongs to Deripaska and was in Norwegian waters for three days at the beginning of August 2016.

The FBK also notes that there is only one small Norwegian airport on the shipping route or near the yacht's anchorage, where only two aircraft landed on August 5th. And both machines (M-UGIC and M-ALAY 5) belonged to Deripaska. One plane flew from Montenegro, where Deripaska owns a villa and business, to Norway and the other from Moscow. It is clear to Navalny and his anti-corruption fund that this is a corruption scandal : A Russian oligarch is sailing on his yacht with a high-ranking politician and is responsible for all the costs of this shipping, including those for the prostitutes. And it is very likely that Prichodko flew with Deripaska's jet from Moscow to Norway. However, this fact cannot be clearly proven, as Navalny has to admit.

FBK lawsuit against Prichodko

A civil servant's stay on an oligarch's yacht is a violation of the law prohibiting a public servant from accepting gifts or services and requires that he behave morally and not discredit the reputation of the state agency he serves . And so the FBK addresses the Directorate of the President of the Russian Federation, Anti-Corruption Department, the government , the Ministry of Interior , FSB , the investigative committee (Russian Следственный комитет) and the prosecutor's office with the request to investigate the matter and Prichodko from his To deliver post. The FBK's allegations against Prichodko were "illegal receipt of property, tourist and other types of services".

Another onerous fact from the FBK's point of view is the various properties in Prichodko (a dacha in the “Sosny” cooperative and two apartments in the center of Moscow), which are estimated at at least 780 million rubles. Following the example of numerous other Russian politicians, Prichodko attributes this immensely large fortune to the income of his wife, who however has no business of her own and no other sources of income. Navalny concludes that Prichodko was only able to finance the property thanks to bribes from the oligarch Deripaska.

Deripaska as the link between the Kremlin and Washington

A few months before this affair, the US press reported on bribes that Deripaska allegedly paid to Paul Manafort , Donald Trump's campaign manager . In return, Manafort offered him private briefings on the progress of the election campaign. For the press, this episode was proof that Russia interfered in the American elections. The American media wondered why a Russian oligarch should receive information about the presidential campaign in the US in private briefings. CNN reporter Matthew Chance tried unsuccessfully to obtain an opinion from Deripaska as to whether he was the secret link between the Kremlin and Trump's campaign manager. The reporters had no evidence that Deripaska passed any information to the Kremlin. However, in Navalny's opinion, Deripaska and Prichodko's joint three-day yacht vacation in August 2016 provides evidence that the Russian oligarch is actually the link between Manafort and Prichodko, who is responsible for the course of Russian foreign policy.

In the 2016 US election campaign , Deripaska has been shown to pay Paul Manafort for lobbying activities.

Reactions

On February 9, 2018, one day after the video yachts, oligarchs and girls was published, the Russian supervisory authority requested Roskomnadzor on the basis of the decision No. 2-572 / 2018 of the Ust-Labinsk District Court (the city in which Oleg Deripaska grew up) to remove the linked video and all photos from their website from the media that reported on the FBK's investigation (here specifically the media company Mediazona ). The reason given was: The video "uses private photos and video recordings with representations as well as other private information without direct or indirect permission of the citizen, which violates the right to one's own picture , the right to data protection of personal data and the protection of privacy ". Mediazona was not given prior notice of the lawsuit filed or the scheduled session of the court. Roskomnadzor said that the Internet address at which the news was distributed had been added to their register as an address containing prohibited information. According to Vedomosti , Ust-Labinsk receives half of all the taxes due in the Krasnodar Oblast from billionaire Deripaska.

On February 10, it turned out that the Ust-Labinsk District Court had not only banned photos in the press reports, but also the video published on YouTube and the corresponding text in Navalny's blog.

Oleg Deripaska felt his honor was hurt by the published investigation of the FBK and also commented on the matter on Instagram on February 9th: "False allegations of illegal activities allegedly committed by me have been spread on social networks and mass media. These allegations have none Relation to reality, is a product of the imagination of a group of people and one of the consequences of a planned reputational campaign. I would like to warn the mass media against spreading the false allegations at hand. I intend to crack down on all attempts to create and disseminate false information streams by taking advantage of all legal possibilities. I will defend my honor and dignity through the legal process. " Alexei Navalny asked within the comments below the Instagram post what exactly Deripaska considers to be false allegations. If the entrepreneur can prove the falsity of the allegations, Navalny will be happy to revoke them. The oligarch then switched off the comment function.

The Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on the FBK's claim about the meeting between Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Prichodko and Oleg Deripaska on the yacht.

On February 15, as a temporary measure, Roskomnadzor began to block Alexei Navalny's entire blog without a court decision and without first informing Navalny.

Legal consequences for Nastja Rybka

On February 25, 2018, 17 days after Navalny published the Rybka affair on YouTube, Nastja Rybka was arrested along with Alex Leslie and 8 other people for conducting illegal sex training in Thailand . The court in Thailand on January 15, 2019 found Nastya Rybka and her colleagues guilty of sex training and sentenced them to nine months in prison. They were expelled from the country on January 17, since they had already served this term from pre-trial detention.

During her return journey to Belarus, Nastya was arrested while stopping at Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport. The charge was incitement to prostitution according to Article 240, Paragraph 2 of the Russian Federation's Criminal Code . A conviction would result in a six-year prison term. At the January 19 trial, a Moscow district court decided to extend the detention for 3 days and postpone the verdict to January 22. Nastja apologized to Deripaska. For his part, Alex Leslie announced that her prosecution was initiated by Navalny and the administration of Donald Trump. The defendants were conditionally released on January 22nd.

In addition, Deripaska filed a lawsuit against Nastja Rybka with the Ust-Labinsk District Court, demanding that the Instagram photos incriminating him be removed from her account. The court granted his request and the materials were removed. In addition, the court ordered Nastia and Leslie to pay Deripaska 500,000 rubles each in damages.

Anonymous audio files

During 2018, Alexei Navalny received audio files from an anonymous person, which he published on YouTube at the same time. It is said to be phone calls recorded by the secret service, which were probably made by Oleg Deripaska's office in 2018. At first Navalny had ignored these files because they could not be verified by him. But Deripaska himself then confirmed the authenticity of the audio recordings by filing a lawsuit with the Ust-Labinsk court demanding that these recordings, which had been unheeded by the public on YouTube for several months, be blocked. The reason was: The publication of the records and the information contained therein violated his right to secrecy of telephone calls and the inviolability of private life.

Research into these audio recordings up to January 2019 provided the FBK with further insights into the Rybka affair .

Audio file 1

This is a phone call between a landline number in Moscow and a mobile number in the UK.

Three people take part in this telephone call via conference call : Tatjana Monaghan, who introduces herself by name, an unknown man named Georgij and the British lawyer William (last name possibly Tsang). Georgij reports to the lawyer William about the circumstances of the arrest of Nastja Rybka and her sex trainer colleagues in Thailand. He asks what penalty could be imposed in the case described. The lawyer repeated several times that Rybka and colleagues were deported from Thailand and were fined. If drugs are not involved, there will be no radical legal action. Georgiy does not like this answer, because he says: "We are very interested that these people remain in prison and that the court later sentenced them to an appropriate prison term ... according to Thai law."

Tatjana Valerianovna Monaghan worked in the 1990s as a consultant for the World Economic Forum (Russia department), which holds annual meetings in Davos for economic experts, politicians and social actors to discuss economic, social, health and environmental issues. She was also a member of a working group at the State Council of the Russian Federation that dealt with Russia's entry into the World Trade Organization . Monaghan has been General Secretary of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Russia since 2000 . Monaghan is active in the international political field and discusses questions of global importance in various forums and working groups. Navalny and his team find out the reason Monaghan found it necessary to stand up for oligarch Deripaska in the Rybka affair : the branch of the International Chamber of Commerce in Russia (ICC Russia), where Monaghan acts as general secretary, became de facto founded by Derpaska in 2000. In addition, according to Navalny, the phone number given on the website of ICC Russia, based in Moscow, and the phone number of Rusal, whose majority control is with Deripaskas Holding En +, are allegedly identical: +7 (495) 720-50-80 . In any case, the landline number +7 (495) 720-50-17, from which the said phone call is made, indicates that the phone call with the lawyer William was made from the headquarters of ICC Russia in Moscow.

Furthermore, by comparing the distinctive voice of the unknown Georgij with the speaker in a UNIWEB promotional video, the FBK finds out that this person is Georgij Oganov, the former press officer of the Russian Embassy in the USA , now Deputy Director General for International Relationships and public relations of the Basic Element Ltd. concern and advisor to the chairman of the board, Oleg Deripaska, and also deputy to the Russian representative at the Asia-Pacific Economic Community .

Both Tatiana Monaghan and Georgij Oganow are employees and helpers of Oleg Deripaska. The audio file 1 thus proves, according to Navalny, that lawyers and helpers from Deripaska tried everything they could to keep Nastja Rybka and her colleagues in the Thai prison for as long as possible.

Audio file 2

The second telephone call takes place between a landline number in Moscow and a telephone connection in the Maldives.

Here you can hear a short conversation between Oleg Deripaska, which you can clearly see by his deep voice when you compare it with other recordings, and Yevgeny Anatolyevich Agarkov, so called by Deripaska's secretaries. Deripaska asks the person called whether he has used the services of the "Belarusian mouse". Agarkow denies this. He had nothing to do with her either on the "boat" or anywhere else. Deripaska doesn't believe him and accuses him of having passed on his, Deripaska's, private number to the "mouse" and of having said something while drunk, so that the "mouse" is now publishing the content.

The FBK notes that Deripaska has innumerable assets in Agarkov's name, including the Ingosstrach insurance company and an agricultural company in Ust-Labinsk. In addition, Yevgeny Agarkow appears under the pseudonym Vitya on in Nastia's book, the theory of FBK. From the contents of the book - it is described that Vitja has alcohol problems, that he actually "wanted to spend time" with Nastja, that he told her Deripaska's schedules and whereabouts so that Nastja Rybka could easily chase after the oligarch - and that during the phone call Nawalny and his co-workers conclude that Agarkow was on the yacht in Norway with Deripaska, Prichodko, Nastja Rybka and six other prostitutes. Navalny backs this up with the fact that until recently the Elden yacht was owned by a mailbox company still run by Agarkov.

The content of the second telephone conversation confirms once more that the short vacation of the oligarch and the politician Prichodko with prostitutes took place and that the events on the yacht described in Nastya Rybka's book are true.

Navalny's conclusions

By analyzing the two audio files, the lawyer and anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny comes to the conclusion that the Russian aluminum magnate Deripaska caused the arrest of Nastja Rybka and her as long as possible in the Thai prison in the wake of the uncovered Rybka affair . The arrest in Thailand is an absurdity. There is not a single reason why a group of foreigners in a country famous around the world for its sex industry should go to prison for one year for sex training . The arrest of Nastja Rybka and Alex Leslie in Russia for practicing prostitution is an even greater absurdity, because the accuser is Sascha Trawka, the lady who stormed the FBK headquarters in latex clothes and, together with Nastja Rybka, declared the sex hunt on Navalny. According to Nawalny, Oleg Deripaska should be personally charged with pimping . He is the one who selects young women, including minors, through "castings", brings them to his dachas and yachts, pays them for sex with his friends, including Prichodko. In the interest and knowledge of Deripaska, his subordinates organized an entire network for the delivery of prostitutes, which the Russian oligarch himself actively used. The FBK will report this to the Russian authorities. However, Navalny has not (yet) made public evidence for these allegations.

US sanctions

On April 6, 2018, the United States imposed extensive economic sanctions on Deripaska and eight companies it controls. His assets were frozen and US citizens were prohibited from doing business with him. Even non-US citizens and companies face sanctions if they keep business contacts. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin cited the alleged interference by Russia in the US presidential election campaign in 2016 and " malign activity " such as the annexation of the Crimean peninsula , the support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad , the possible influence on Western democracies, and the promotion of cybercrime . Deripaska is connected to the Russian state in many ways and is economically and politically active for it. This time the Europeans did not join the sanctions.

Aluminum prices soared on the world market, which triggered alarm calls from the industry across countries that the price increase threatened problems in the supply chain in the USA and Europe. The multinational mining company Rio Tinto Group and the US aircraft manufacturer Boeing urged the US Treasury to ease the sanctions. After 17 days, the sanctions were quickly eased, and on April 23, the US administration gave Rusal customers six months instead of 30 days to end their business relationships with Rusal.

Experts consider Deripaska to be one of the few oligarchs from the Yeltsin era whom President Putin and his government still view with suspicion, which is why the government would nationalize Rusal sooner or later . And after the experiences when robber capitalism held Russia in a stranglehold, the population sees it as their best reassurance for the future. This prospect then became too much even for the authors of the new sanctions list. Mnuchin said the goal was not to drive Rusal out of the world market and that "the US government is not targeting the hard-working people who depend on Rusal."

Deripaska vacated the board of directors at Rusal and was forced to sell. According to a report in the Financial Times , Deripaska hired the Franco-British investment bank Rothschild to find buyers for a block of shares in En +. Then it was suggested that the sanctions against Rusal could be suspended entirely if Deripaska waives control of its companies.

In December 2018, the US Treasury Department informed the US Congress that OFAC would lift the sanctions against the companies En +, Rusal and JSC EuroSibEnergo (ESE); Deripaska itself, however, remains on the SDN list and its assets remain frozen.
