We tumble down the rabbithole of the global match-fixing scandal that's quietly tearing apart the U.S. Olympic fencing team, ahead of their trip to Paris this month. And we investigate how it all connects to a spiraling refereeing crisis that takes us from Harvard and Princeton to the very top of the International Olympic Committee — and Vladimir Putin's Russia. Where one of the world's 100 richest people, Alisher Usmanov, has allegedly exported a culture of bribery and corruption that's scared pretty much everybody in sabre fencing away from talking, on the record.

As Russian forces escalated their war of aggression against Ukraine in 2022, Western governments scrambled to sanction oligarchs connected to Putin's war machine. Yet the task is far from simple when Kremlin-connected tycoons hide their billions in offshore trusts and Swiss bank accounts — and even behind the names of their family members.In this episode, Nick Wallis talks with OCCRP editing duo Miranda Patrucic and Ilya Lozovsky, discussing how billionaire Alisher Usmanov concealed his fortune via secretive companies, business associates and family members — including Swiss bank accounts in his sister's name despite her seemingly modest trade as a gynecologist.We also hear from British Member of Parliament Kevin Hollinrake on how Russia's invasion sparked a campaign to clamp down on dirty money washed through the U.K., as well as how effective Western sanctions have been in choking off the lifelines to Putin's military campaign.Dirty Deeds is a Little Gem production for OCCRP. The host is Nick Wallis. The producer is Lindsay Riley at Rethink Audio, with research from Phoebe Adler-Ryan and Riham Moussa.Read the investigations:Sanctioning an Oligarch Is Not So Easy: Why the Money Trail of Alisher Usmanov, One of Russia's Wealthiest Men, Is Difficult to FollowOCCRP Russian Asset TrackerThis week's guests:Miranda PatrucicIlya LozovskyKevin HollinrakeTranscript:Read the transcript on the OCCRP website.More information OCCRP:Keep up with the latest in global organized crime and corruption with our weekly newsletterDonate[00:00] Introduction[02:04] Miranda Patrucic explains why she is interested in investigating oligarchs — and Alisher Usmanov in particular[03:50] How did the investigation into Usmanov come about?[06:16] What are the FinCEN Files — and what did they reveal about Usmanov?[07:55] An explainer of suspicious activity reports and how they're supposed to stop financial crime[10:36] How Usmanov's family is connected to the story[13:04] Ilya Lozovsky explains how OCCRP told the story via the Russian Asset Tracker[15:36] Did Western sanctions against Usmanov work against him — and Vladimir Putin's war effort in Ukraine?[19:00] Why have there been so many large-scale data leaks in recent years?[22:07] Kevin Hollinrake on whether tackling money laundering in the U.K. would harm the nation's economy[25:45] Updates on how the U.K. is tackling flows of dirty money[27:33] What needs to be done to clamp down on dirty money in the U.K.?[33:55] Kevin Hollinrake on whether Western sanctions have been effective against the Russian invasion of Ukraine Hosted on Acast.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian billionaires like Roman Abramovich, Vladimir Potanin, Alisher Usmanov and Oleg Deripaska have been all over the news.The word Oligarch conjures up images of opportunistic, well-connected businessmen who made billions by plundering the remains of the collapsed Soviet state.

Everton's Russian link with Alisher Usmanov; has created a turmoil as Russian sponsorships are forced to exit Everton, leaving revenue gaps. Alisher Burkhanovich Usmanov is an Uzbek-born Russian business-magnate and oligarch. Bloomberg Billionaires Index reported in 2022 that Usmanov had an estimated net worth of $19.5 billion. Usmanov made his wealth after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Everton Football Club is an English professional association football club based in Liverpool that currently competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Yota is a Russian mobile broadband company and smartphone manufacturer. Yota is a trademark of Skartel LLC. On 9 May 2012, Yota's WiMAX was replaced by its LTE network.

Blue Ian Mills, is joined by red Terry McGivern, to discuss all the goings on across the park. As sanctions bite on Roman Abramovic at Chelsea, Everton's financial connections to fellow oligarch, Alisher Usmanov, are discussed, with the club's precarious financial situation worrying Ian. Liverpool progressed to the quarter final of the Champions League in midweek, despite losing on the night to Inter Milan. However their two most recent home performances have Terry questioning whether the schedule is beginning to affect the team's fluency. The show closes with a look ahead to the weekend's games; Liverpool travel away to Brighton for the early kick off Saturday, whilst Everton face a must win game, hosting Wolves at Goodison on Sunday.
A race is on to spot and catch some of the world's biggest and most dazzling yachts owned by Russian oligarchs with ties to President Vladimir Putin in retaliation for the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine. Several of these multi-million dollar floating assets have been seized by US and European governments. But it's proving difficult to track the vessels, and then there is the issue of what to do with them, often with crew of up to 60 personnel on board. Ed Butler talks to sanctions lawyer Nigel Kushner of WLegal, Alex Finley, writer, former CIA officer and superyacht watcher and journalist Jack Hogan of Superyacht News.

Suddenly, Silicon Valley is worried about its Russian ties. I’m getting messages from sources about potential Russian-connected venture capital firms and software companies with inordinate numbers of Russian customers. Companies like Netflix, Disney, Samsung, and TikTok are cutting at least some of their services in Russia. Meanwhile, Russia is restricting access to Facebook.There were echoes of this moment, in 2018, when Silicon Valley was forced to reckon with its addiction to Saudi Arabian oil money after the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Investors started to wonder if they should feel guilty about the transgressions of their limited partners.But then the spotlight faded and the business world moved on.This time seems different. Most importantly, the U.S. government is expressly putting pressure on wealthy Russian elites. The ethical questions are taking a back seat to the foreign policy objectives of much of the Western world. So even in cases where people can justifiably separate the individual from the country, there’s intense pressure to hurt the Russian government by cracking down on individuals and institutions tied to Russia. There’s perhaps no more prominent Russian-born investor than Yuri Milner. Puck reporter Teddy Schleifer asked this month:“What is Yuri Milner thinking? That’s the question I posed last week to Milner’s spokesman, after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and then again on Monday, after Western governments responded with crippling sanctions. Milner, after all, is easily among Silicon Valley’s most prominent Russians, having made billions of dollars as the force behind DST Global, the venture firm that placed historic bets on Facebook and Twitter, among other Bay Area landmarks. But it was Milner’s embattled friends that put him on my mind: The Russian provenance of DST’s early capital was supplied in large part by Alisher Usmanov, a Russian oligarch who made his fortune in metal and mining before teaming up with Milner in 2008.”In the latest episode of Dead Cat, Tom Dotan, Katie Benner, and I talked to Schleifer about Milner’s public silence on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We discussed the abrupt transition from a globally interconnected financial system to one that is suddenly looking to root out Russian money. (A DST spokesperson told Schleifer that Milner hasn’t taken money from Russian limited partners since 2012.) We also talked to Schleifer about his list of American oligarchs. He ranked Reid Hoffman and Eric Schmidt as the most important political donors of the moment on the left, and Peter Thiel and Larry Ellison as number one and number two on the right. Cheekily, Schleifer gave Chamath Palihapitiya the number four spot — on the right.We also delved into philanthropy. Schleifer told us about one of his favorite donors — crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried — and floated the possibility that donor MacKenzie Scott’s rapid-fire giveaway project ends in disaster.Give it a listen.

Alexei Mordashov, Alisher Usmanov, Igor Sechin. São alguns dos homens que construíram imensas fortunas privadas a partir dos escombros do Estado soviético, no início dos anos 90. Um “processo obscuro”, resume o jornalista Jaime Spitzcovsky, azeitado por laços estreitos com o governo russo, que lhes permitiu dominar setores como energia, mineração, telecomunicações e finanças. Na conversa com Renata Lo Prete, o ex-correspondente em Moscou, hoje colunista da Folha de S.Paulo, explica a origem, as relações e como essa elite foi enquadrada internamente. “Desde o início, o projeto do Putin é claro: restaurar o poder do Kremlin”, corroído nos anos de Mikhail Gorbatchov e Boris Yeltsin. Agora, com sanções que vão do congelamento de fundos ao sequestro de alguns dos apartamentos e iates mais valiosos do mundo, os EUA e seus aliados pretendem indispor esses bilionários com Moscou. Ainda é cedo, avalia Jaime, para saber se vai funcionar. “O que já dá para dizer é que a vida deles vai ficar bem menos confortável”, ironiza. Participa também do episódio Rodrigo Capelo, jornalista do ge e do Sportv. Especializado na cobertura de negócios do esporte, ele analisa a ascensão dos oligarcas russos no futebol e, em particular, a trajetória de Roman Abramovich, que na esteira das sanções anunciou a decisão de vender o Chelsea, clube inglês que comprou em 2003.
n our International News Review, Glenn van Zutphen speaks to Steve Okun, Senior Advisor, Mclarty Associates and Lily Ong, Intelligence Analyst to discuss about the invasion of Russia to Ukraine and Roman Abramovich selling Chelsea, Germany seizing Alisher Usmanov's $600 million yacht, and more.

Leadership of Vkontakte, Russia's most popular social network, will likely fall to the son of the Kremlin's domestic policy czar, two sources told The Bell on Friday, claiming "95-percent certainty" that Vladimir Kiriyenko will take over as CEO. A day earlier, another source claimed that Kiriyenko Jr. might find work in the insurance behemoth Sogaz, which acquired control over VK on Thursday in a monster deal with Alisher Usmanov's USM holding company. Another two sources confirmed to the news website RBC that Vladimir Kiriyenko will be VK's next head.

Anton Cherepennikov has had quite the career and he's not yet 40. A decade ago, he partnered with Alexey Kolesnikov, one of the best eSports players in Russia, to form a premiere team that grew into a briefly profitable business, training players and drawing major sponsorships before it attracted a massive investment from the oligarch Alisher Usmanov. Cherepennikov's greatest impact as a businessman, however, hasn't been in competitive computer gaming but in the cybersecurity industry, where he founded a holding company called "Citadel" that now controls most of the manufacturing for Russia's key surveillance technology: "SORM." In a report for the news outlet Baza, sources told journalist Andrey Kaganskikh that Cherepennikov is not, in fact, an independent figure in the SORM market, calling him "an avatar for Alisher Usmanov's business interests." Cherepennikov insists that he is a "self-made" entrepreneur, and he's spent the past several years trying hard to distance himself from the oligarch. Meduza summarizes Baza's profile of Cherepennikov. Original Article: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2021/11/05/shall-we-play-a-game
Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek says he wants to bring back the glory to Arsenal as he plans to test the resolve of the club’s American billionaire owner Stan Kroenke with a takeover bid.Kroenke, through his Kroenke Sports and Entertainment business, has been the Gunners’ majority shareholder for a decade and took full control of the club by buying out Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov’s stake in 2018.Arsenal’s performances on the pitch have declined markedly during the Kroenke reign.Arsenal was one of 12 clubs to initially sign up to proposals for the breakaway competition but, along with five other English clubs, withdrew from the plans within 48 hours after a fierce backlash from fans, players, governing bodies and the British government.

Everton have an interesting board member? who can it be? Everton Football Club is an English professional football club based in Liverpool, England, that competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. The club has competed in the top division for a record 116 seasons, missing the top division only four times since the creation of The Football League. Ardavan Farhad Moshiri is a British-Iranian businessman and investor who resides in Monaco.

Host Phil Kirkbride speaks to Chris Beesley and Sam Carroll ahead of Everton's final game before their winter break at home to Crystal Palace.There's plenty on the agenda with James McCarthy's return to Goodison Park discussed and the potential merits of Wilfried Zaha's proposed move from the Eagles to the Blues last summer also debated.Given Everton's dramatic rise over the past couple of months, going from being in the relegation zone at the time of Marco Silva's sacking to the fringes of a Europa League place under Carlo Ancelotti, the prospect of qualifying for Europe and the importance of European football come under the microscope.The development of Dominic Calvert-Lewin during the Blues climb up the table is examined, while the new additions to Goodison Park's exterior prompt a conversation regarding Alisher Usmanov's possible involvement in the proposed new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

First up we talk about Stan Kroenke, the big story in football is that he's buying out Alisher Usmanov to take total control of Arsenal Football Club. What are the implications for Arsenal and the fans? This will add AFC to the Kroenke family portfolio which already boasts the NFL side Los Angeles Rams, NBA's Denver Nuggets, the NHL outfit Colorado Avalanche and MLS side Colorado Rapids. Matt talks us through the Rapids and the Rams, but we also got help from Billy Marshall in dissecting the Kroenke effect at the Denver nuggets! Next up we whizz through transfer deadline day in the UK, with only Chelsea making any additions in the last week of the window- Matt in particular was impressed by the moves that smaller teams made throughout the transfer window. Wolves and Fulham in particular, signed players of high prestige and we discussed why this trend suddenly appeared. Across the atlantic, Matt runs us through Josh Perez's move to LAFC. Does this signal a change in the MLS mindset? Will we see less older designated players such as Zlatan and Rooney in the future?

I chat with James from Gunnerblog and Tim Payton from the AST about the situation, how they feel about it as fans, what the impact and consequences might be, and how Arsenal will be changed for it. Then there's a bit of Kroenke stuff but a good dollop of football chat with the legend that is Ian Wright, who has some insight from the training ground, high hopes for the new boss, and lots more.

Adam and Groucho discuss the announcement of the Richarlison deal, Alisher Usmanov, Everton's ability to break the 'top 6', Lookman, Klaassen's Jeep, Tom on a Skateboard and YOUR tweets.
There wasn't a lot going on this week because of the Interlull, leaving us short of Arsenal stuff to talk about, so last night I did a phone-in show, taking calls and chatting to listeners about various things, including the Jack Wilshere situation, Arsene Wenger and his future, the ownership – including a story about Alisher Usmanov's gates, getting a new goalkeeper for next season, our Europa League chances, and lots more.

It may be an Interlull but we've still got a podcast for you today, and in the wake of Arsenal's financial results being released last week, I chat with Kieron O'Connor (@SwissRamble), about a healthy profit, cash in the bank, how we still lag behind the others in terms of commercial revenue, the challenges of improving that in a season when we're in the Europa League, potential transfer funds and lots more. We also touch on the current situation involving Stan Kroenke and Alisher Usmanov, and what the future might hold there. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this episode I chat to James Montague, author of a new book entitled: The Billionaires Club – The Unstoppable Rise of Football's Super-rich Owners. James writes about the increasing influence of extremely wealthy owners of football clubs, primarily in the Premier League, but across football in general too. What effect is it having on the game? What might it mean for football in the future? And with most of Arsenal's shares owned by Stan Kroenke and Alisher Usmanov, there's a real Arsenal perspective in this too.

Quite a lengthy episode this time around. There's tons to get through as the season winds down in preparation for the World Championships.Finance has been an issue for Fencing for a very long time but it seems Fencing's main backer, Alisher Usmanov has solved that.One day, while on Twitter, Gav stumbed across a link to coaching advice from Italian coach Cipressa. He clicked it thinking it would be a simple piece about the man and his methods... But he'd actually wandered into the Athlete Hub. It contains tons of valuable information. Sean had already seen the hub but then he's seen everything!

In order to understand Stan Kroenke as Arsenal owner, you need to understand how he's operated in his other sports ventures, Stateside. Thankfully, Stephen Bradley is an NFL nut and he's taken the time to put together this pod to help to explain Silent Stan to the Arsenal fans Kroenke prefers to ignore. He also examines Alisher Usmanov's offer for the club and what he could be up to.
On this week's show we look back the final day of the season, the win over Everton, the Koscielny red card, injuries to Gabriel, Alexis and Xhaka, and discuss the prospect of Europa League football next season. We chat about anti-Stan Kroenke chanting from fans, Arsene Wenger's press conference and his situation in general, the boardroom issues, and Alisher Usmanov's bid for Kroenke's shares. We answer questions about moments of the season, dropped points, what kind of defence we might see for the FA Cup final, potential signings, Danny Welbeck's CHAOS MODE and lots more.

On this episode of Toffee TV, Ped and Baz are joined by Matt to discuss the implications of Alisher Usmanov's USM sponsoring Finch Farm and the potential of him sponsoring the shirt and ground.
Alisher Usmanov has just been named the richest man in Britain. Born in Uzbekistan, Usmanov made his fortune in the collapsing Soviet Union. His empire has stretched from plastic bags to minerals, telecoms, Facebook and Arsenal Football Club. But, as Mark Coles reports, Usmanov's rise has not been straightforward, nor free of controversy.
