“Putin’s favorite group” enriched itself in the war: it received almost 58 million rubles from the Russian authorities since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine over the previous eight years, writes “Agency”. The largest fee – 10 million rubles – “Lube” received for her performance at the 50th anniversary of the city of Nadym in September 2022. For four more concerts, the musicians were paid from six million rubles in Murmansk, Nizhny Novgorod and Sochi. In 2021, “Putin’s favorite group” earned much less from state contracts – only 11.8 million rubles. The Agency suggests that the increase in government spending on musicians like Lube after the outbreak of the war is due to increased propaganda. According to Siren Kompromat 2.0 @kompr

The most interesting of the investigation into the leakage of mail and correspondence between the managers of the Rotenberg brothers. #RotenbergFiles 1. The new common-law wife of Arkady Rotenberg, Maria Borodunova, a 36-year-old cosmetologist from Latvia, owned the closed Lontano Mutual Investment Fund, which controlled 80% of RG-Development. 2. Now we know how Sberbank’s sanctions compliance works. Representatives of Sberbank wrote a letter to RG-Development, notifying them of the closure of accounts, because they knew that RG-D was affiliated with sanctioned persons. The Rotenbergs were able to resolve this issue, the accounts in Sberbank remained with RG-D. 3. The approach of Boris and Arkady Rotenberg to hide information about their assets was simple and rational – to write down all their assets to Closed Mutual Funds and include denominations (mistresses, employees, directors of companies) among the shareholders of closed mutual funds. Of course, it was not possible to keep such a secret for a long time, at least in Russian banks they were sure about the connections of the mutual funds with the Rotenbergs. 4. Desperate decision. As in the good old films about drug lords, the Rotenbergs recorded part of their assets on the former bodyguard of Rotenberg Alexander Kozlov (in the correspondence they mention him as Sashka Kozlov), who apparently performs the function of the head of the security service of the oligarch. The multi-million dollar Rotenberg villa on the Spanish coast and the Rahil yacht were recorded on it. 5. Low level of cyber hygiene of intermediaries serving oligarchs. In 2019, in a WhatsApp chat, one of the Evocorp employees, Alexander Stepanenko, called (bodyguard) Kozlov a shareholder in the structure, which, judging by the documents in the leak, belonged to Boris Rotenberg. In response, he received a severe reprimand: “Don’t write this here!!!!” – one of Rotenberg’s assistants was indignant. 6. In Russia, Evocorp Management Company LLC managed the assets of the Rotenberg brothers, re-registered as top-secret investment funds, which Moscow businessman Maxim Viktorov posed as his own. I must say that the control of Evocorp by Rotenberg is more than well-known information, but formally the Rotenbergs never acknowledged this fact. 7. Helpless regulators. The Financial Supervisory Authority of the British Virgin Islands has ordered local agents to terminate agreements with companies whose ultimate beneficial owner is on US sanctions lists. To which the intermediaries offered to replace the Rotenbergs with their denominations and provide the BVO authorities with their names. That’s exactly what they did. 8. The wife of Boris Rotenberg Karina (Gapchuk) Rotenberg turned out to be a US citizen. I wrote about their romantic history in the US state of Georgia and abandoned villas near Winward Lake a few years ago. Karina’s US citizenship formally restricted Boris Rotenberg’s ability to issue money to his wife, as this violates the requirements of the US regulator to ban US citizens from transactions with sanctioned persons. 9. European banks turn a blind eye to sanctions. Judging by the correspondence, in early 2017, the Banque Havilland Monaco bank allowed the transfers of the Rotenberg family, despite the US sanctions imposed on them. Another bank, Société Générale, agreed to provide banking services to Boris Rotenberg, but put forward strict conditions. Among other things, the entrepreneur could not keep bank accounts related to his wife. Probably, the bank went halfway to Rotenberg, because it was interested in the oligarch repaying his multimillion-dollar loans. 10. The head of the Russian department of the branch of Société Générale bank in correspondence calls the wife of Boris Rotenberg Karina Rotenberg “Madam K.ROT”. According to Shumanov Kompromat 2.0 @kompr
