Notes

  1. ↑ Novitsky is alleged to be one of the treasurers of the Solntsevskaya Bratva and is very close to Semion Mogilevich. [11]
  2. ↑ With the support of Mr. Pierre Werner, who was the Prime Minister of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, on 12 June 1974, the East-West United Bank (EWUB) (Luxembourg) was formed with both the State Bank of the USSR or Gosbank and after the end of the Soviet Union, the Central Bank of Russia, and Russia's Foreign Trade Bank Vneshtorgbank (VTB) as the main shareholders from founding until 1992. [27] [28] [29] From 1992 to 2000, Imperial Bank had a major stake in EWUB of 49% [27] [28] [29] and Tokobank held a 28% stake in EWUB in 1998, [30] [31] but, on 17 April 2000, Imperial Bank was dissolved. [32] Imperial Bank focused on oil and natural gas supplies to East Germany and later to Germany including the oil-for-pipes program. [33] [34] With Vnesheconombank managing Soviet debt, Imperial Bank speculated in GKOs but collapsed with the demise of the GKO market following the 1998 financial collapse in Russia. [33] From 2000 to 2007, VTB had a major stake in EWUB. [27] [28] [29] Beginning in 2001, the Vladimir Yevtushenkov led Sistema gained a stake in EWUB and since 2007 Sistema has had the majority stake in EWUB. [27] [28] [29]

Tamm's attorney was Dmitry Yakubovsky (Russian: Дмитрий Якубовский) also known as "General Dima" (Russian: "генерал Дима"). [44] [45] In the early 2000s, Tamm was a deputy director of the Peking Hotel and Oleg Voropaev (Russian: Олег Воропаев) managed the Dolls club. [46] [47] [48] Gazpromgate which occurred before Alexei Miller became head of Gazprom in 2001, allegedly involved stolen money from the CEO Rem Vyakhirev (Russian: Рэм Вяхирев) led Gazprom and was laundered through the Union Development Bank (Russian: Союзный Банк Развития), which Evgeny Suvorov (Russian: Евгений Суворов) was a vice president and was also a member of the Dolls club, using Motor Technology JSC (Russian: АО "Технология моторов") in which Gazprom owned a 49% stake. [47] In September 2017, Tamm was arrested in Marbella, Spain, during the Spanish operation Oligarch (Spanish: operación Oligarca) under suspicion of tax evasion, money laundering, and involvement in the activities of the Solntsevskaya organized crime group.

[45] [49] [54] [55]
  4. ↑ Sergey Dozhdev (Russian: Сергей Дождев) stated "The real Russian mafia is those who rule the world. In particular, it includes Igor Sechin, a man who took over Sistema through Bashneft and MTS using his offshore companies. The Rotenberg brothers, who control the Platon Company, are in the mafia too. 75 percent of Platon belongs to offshore companies, which the Rotenbergs use to siphon off money to Europe. Arnold Tamm used to co-own Sistema. However, he had a disagreement with the Rotenberg brothers, and Herman Gref ceased the refinancing of loans through his son Arkady. The company incurred artificial liabilities, and Sechin bought it at a low price through offshore companies." [46]
