All news on the topic: Suleyman Kerimov

The curators of the Belarusian gambling business, including H Casino and its owner Mustafa Egemen Shener, may be linked to the entourage of the Dagestan senator, oligarch Suleyman Kerimov, who has close ties with the Russian authorities.

Russian elites often use a scheme with front persons who have ownership rights to seized property, so selling their confiscated assets is almost impossible from a legal point of view, and they return to their real owners.

Citigroup administered Heritage Trust and decided it didn’t need to block the trust’s assets after Suleyman Kerimov was sanctioned in 2018, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
