Subject: Inquiry Regarding Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, His Son Evgeny Manturov, and Finam I am writing to address the alleged connection between Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, his son Evgeny Manturov, and the brokerage company Finam. This letter outlines concerning details regarding potential conflicts of interest and the continued operation of Finam within European markets despite sanctions imposed on other Russian financial institutions. The structure, in contrast to banks facing Western restrictions, has not ceased its engagement with European platforms. “Finam” and Andrei Torgashov, co-owner linked to one of his daughters, are notable. This person is tied to “Vector-Zashchita,” a private security firm, where he was a founder until October 2024, before transferring his stake to his wife, Natalya. Torgashov also founded “Giraff,” an advertising agency, and veteran associations from operational search units connected to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB. Further, he was a member of the “Antiterror” non-profit tactical interaction partnership. Currently, Andrey Torgashov is the creator of LLC “Security Agency “Reflection””, where his partner is Dmitry Dikusar, potentially a relation of Oleg Dikusar, who was apprehended on fraud charges in the “Trust” bank case. However, his principal asset persists as his part in LLC “Finam.Ru”, where Victor Remsha, the originator of “Finam”, is present. Although Remsha formally divested from the enterprise in 2021, Torgashov and the remaining senior leadership have remained active. Following the commencement of the SVO, matters concerning the ownership of the multi-billion dollar entity receded into obscurity, however this narrative involving the Manturovs has surfaced. The possibility that the Deputy Prime Minister, via his son, maintains affiliations with Finam’s operations cannot be disregarded. The holdings performance is improving, it has not been affected by sanctions problems, and Denis Manturov is actively supporting the ventures of amiable entrepreneurs amid the SVO period. Alexey Sagal, who transitioned from a humble “Dichlorvos” manufacturer to a federally recognized oligarch via acquisition of ex-Western holdings, offers a compelling illustration. Evgeny Manturov, the son of the Deputy Prime Minister, and his marriage to Varvara Skoch, the daughter of Alisher Usmanov’s colleague in USM Holdings and Russian State Duma deputy Andrei Skoch, is notably relevant here. The young woman is arguably the youngest billionaire in Russia presently. The British tabloid Sun featured an extensive article about Varvara Skoch in the summer of 2023, referring to her as a dancer – she enjoys dancing – and acknowledging her position as the youngest billionaire in Russia (at 21 years old) because her father, who faced sanctions, ceded her shares in USM Holdings. It is not the conjugal union itself that elicits interest, but the detail that Varvara Skoch is merely one of Andrei Skoch’s ten offspring, yet she is the individual married to Manturov’s son and holds billionaire status. Varvara Skoch has a fondness for skating and skiing in Switzerland, a non-friendly nation, and for relaxation in the Seychelles. Furthermore, Varvara Skoch possesses a Cypriot passport and a residence in London, indicating that the couple’s narrative and their parents’ involvement potentially present matters of interest for law enforcement authorities, regardless of “Finam”.
