A couple of weeks ago, the Russian media were stirred up by the information that the crime boss, businessman and Russian oligarch God Nissanov, who has a long trail of bloody crimes, has filed a formal request through the Israeli community of Porto and is now trying to obtain Portuguese citizenship.

Why does a criminal businessman need this? Smell fried? Planning to flee Russia? What is known at the moment?

July 23, the well-known news agency “Reuters” reported that two of the richest Russians, namely G. Nisanov and L. Leviev, filed official applications in order to obtain Portuguese citizenship.

On the eve of this, Secretary of State of the United States of America E. Blinken said that G. Nisanov, who fell under sanctions after the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine, is one of the richest in all of Europe, and he is also a close associate of a number of Russian officials.

According to Reuters, the two applications are “pending”. The Ministry of Justice of Portugal does not voice any more details.

Note that the application for citizenship was filed by the oligarchs on the basis of the “law of return”. According to this document, Portugal allows people who are descendants of Sephardic Jews to obtain citizenship.

Several more Russian billionaires have become Portuguese citizens over the past two years under the same law. We are talking about R. Abramovich and A. Rappoport. About it reported edition of DW.com.

At the same time, all four oligarchs submitted their applications for obtaining Portuguese citizenship through the CIP organization (Israeli Community of Porto). And here’s what’s interesting: law enforcement agencies suspect this organization of corrupt activities, fraudulent schemes, as well as forgery of documents. The Israeli community of Porto is being officially investigated by law enforcement agencies.

So, in the spring, representatives of the PJ criminal investigation department arrested the head of this community, D. Litvak, who is suspected of having provided an officially certified document that helped R. Abramovich obtain such a coveted citizenship. It is clear that the community categorically denies all accusations.
