Dear William Marshall:
This is a sixth interim response to your FOIA request dated and received in this Office
on May 29, 2018, in which you requested records from the Office of the Deputy Attorney
General (ODAG) relating to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr, and/or Christopher Steele, dating since
January 2016. This response is made on behalf of ODAG. This response also completes our
processing of material referred to OIP by OCDETF.
On December 19, 2018, April 15, 2019, May 1, 2019, May 13, 2019, and June 3, we
provided you with interim responses to your request. We have now completed processing an
additional 332 pages containing records responsive to your request. I have determined that 330
of these pages are appropriate for release with excisions made pursuant to Exemptions 3, 6,
and 7(E) of the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(3), (b)(6), and (b)(7)(E), and copies are enclosed.
Additionally, I have determined that two pages should be withheld in full pursuant to
Exemptions 6 and 7(C).
Exemption 3 pertains to information exempted from release by statute, in this instance

10 U.S.C. § 130(b). Exemption 6 pertains to information the release of which would constitute
a clearly unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties. Exemption 7(C)
pertains to records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, the release of which
could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of
third parties. Exemption 7(E) pertains to records or information compiled for law enforcement
purposes, the release of which would disclose certain techniques and procedures or guidelines
for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions.
For your information, Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement
and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(c) (2012
& Supp. V 2017). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements
of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that is given to all our requesters and should not be
taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.

Magnitsky’s Widow Asks Swiss Jewellery Company Chopard to Disassociate Itself From Moscow Film
Festival That Plans to Screen Anti-Magnitsky Propaganda Film
21 June 2016 – The widow of Sergei Magnitsky, the Russian lawyer killed in Russian police custody in
2009, has written to Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, CEO of Chopard, a super luxury Swiss watch and jewellery
company, asking for Chopard to reconsider its sponsorship of the Moscow Film Festival which recently
added Andrei Nekrasov's anti-Magnitsky propaganda film to its program on 23-30 June 2016.
“I urge you to not associate your fine brand and reputation of your company with the people who killed
my husband and benefited from the serious corruption he had uncovered, and to publicly disassociate with
the film festival unless its organizers remove this film from the program. This film has been thoroughly
discredited and described as propaganda,” said Sergei Magnitsky's widow in her letter to Chopard.
No reply from Chopard has been received.
The anti-Magnitsky film by Russian filmmaker Andrei Nekrasov has been endorsed by senior Russian
Government officials, including Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian General
Prosecutor Yuri Chaika. The film has been promoted by perpetrators and beneficiaries of the US$230
million fraud that Sergei Magnitsky exposed. These include: Pavel Karpov, the former Russian Interior
Ministry officer who had custody of the documents used in the crime; Andrei Pavlov, lawyer for the
Russian criminal group who took part in sham court proceedings as part of the fraud; and Denis Katsyv,
son of a Russian government official, whose assets have been seized in the US and Switzerland for
suspicion of laundering the proceeds of the US$230 million fraud.
“It is surprising that Chopard would associate itself with this sordid spectacle. They should withdraw their
funding for this effort. It’s one thing for compromised Russians to posthumously defame a Russian hero
who gave his life for his principles. It's entirely another when this is done relying on sponsorship funds
from a reputable Western company like Chopard,” said William Browder, leader of the global Magnitsky
395
Justice movement.
The anti-Magnitsky film by Andrei Nekrasov is one in a series of Russian propaganda and intimidation
efforts seeking to fight Magnitsky sanctions and to avoid accountability for the torture and murder of
Magnitsky and for the US$230 million theft he had uncovered. Prior to this, there has been a series of four
propaganda films produced and aired on Russian federal TV stations in which Browder is portrayed as a
CIA agent working to destroy Russia. Other methods have included opening new criminal cases against
William Browder, as well as Russian anti-corruption blogger Alexei Navalny who has been vocally
supporting justice for Sergei Magnitsky.

2.) I've also sent Mr. Ohr our admin notes with and my cell numbers.
Please have him or his

I need to also check if you will now be needing Marshall Center

Dear
Thank you so much - I know you are wading through a ton of these travel
arrangements.
I'm afraid the flight from DC to Munich will not work for my schedule.
As I mentioned to Steve Monaco when I accepted his kind invitation, I have a
meeting in Washington on Feb 2 that I cannot miss. That is why I requested
a flight departing on the evening of Feb 2 from Washington, arriving in
Munich on Feb 3. Is it possible to arrange a flight leaving DC that
evening?
The return flight, of course, has no such time constraints, so I can take
the flights that you have proposed.
Thank you very much!

Good Day Mr Ohr,
Sorry for the delay!
Attached you'll find tentative travel reservations for your trip to

Garmisch to speak at this event,
ALUM16103. Please ensure that your name is spelled correctly and exactly the
same as on your passport.
If everything is correct and all the necessary requirements for the

travel are met, please email me with the confirmation so
I can proceed with processing the ITO and purchasing the plane ticket.
Apologies for my delayed reply. Thanks again for sending us your

registration form. My colleague, (b)(6) per DOD (cc'd), will be in contact soon
to discuss your travel plans/itinerary.
I've also attached our current draft agenda with your speaking slot
indicated the morning of Thursday, 4 February. I'm sure Prof. Monaco will
contact you again to discuss the details of your presentation (if he hasn't
already). We currently expect over 70 participants from more than 45
countries worldwide to attend our event.
But back to your questions:

(b)(6) per DOD
1.) This should not be a problem can schedule your return flight for
7FEB and you would simply cover the additional days (starting from 5FEB)
with our Marshall Center Hotel (current discounted room rate is $40 a night)
prior to departing in either cash or credit card. We can schedule your
return transportation to Munich airport for 7FEB from the Marshall Center
Hotel. If you choose to spend the post-workshop days in Munich or at a
different hotel you would make your own return transportation arrangements.
2.) This is also possible, with some considerations:

- The contracted hotel for this event is our own Marshall Center Hotel (run
by Army Lodging) on our installation (3+ star equivalent). We can reserve a
larger room with a queen size bed for you and your wife. The additional cost
would be around $7.50 per night. The hotel room has a Computer with DSL
internet connection on the closed Marshall Center network (you cannot
connect your own device), Iron, Ironing Board, Umbrella (in closet),
Satellite TV, DVD player, Safe, Microwave, Refrigerator, DSN (military
network) Telephone. Free Wifi is also available in the common areas of the
hotel.
- We are legally prohibited from providing airport transportation for your
wife, so you would have to make arrangements for her transport to/from
Munich (options are rental car, train, shuttle service)
- We would have to add your wife to our installation access roster and would
need her passport information. She would have to carry her passport with her
whenever leaving the installation.
- Our Dining Facility is within walking distance to the hotel. Your wife
could pay for her meals via cash or credit card.
You may also consider reserving a room for your wife at another hotel (which
may offer more services and amenities). I've included a list of hotels in
our local area for your consideration. A nice hotel within walking distance
to the Marshall Center is the Rheinischer Hof Hotel (shown on the list).
You could also choose to stay at this other hotel with your wife and the
Marshall Center is able to reimburse you $40 a night from 2-5FEB. If you
want to do your own research on hotels/guest houses in our area and check
proximity to the Marshall Center, the address of our Center is:
Gernackerstrasse 2, 82467 Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Please contact (b)(6) per DOD or myself if you have any additional questions.
Thanks again.

Bruce, that can work--you might get here really late on the 2nd, or early on
the 3rd and then can jump in after rest, etc. This opens up a new
possibility--that we recast your presentation to be one of closing remarks
on the 4th. We wrap up this event on the morning of the 4th. I'm working
on confirming the UNODC to speak that morning on the UNCAC, the recent
conference of the parties to the convention, and sort of a "way ahead" view
on global corruption efforts.
Could we then use you to stress the importance of global cooperation in

developing corruption and TOC prosecutions? On exchanging information in
support of prosecutions? On pursuing assets of corrupt officials (and
traffickers) internationally? On committing the resources and the backing
to pursue the difficult cases (political will)?
I am revising the agenda right now, to reflect the speakers that have
confirmed. I'll send it you shortly. I think you'll see how closing
thoughts from a senior US official on the importance of global cooperation
could put a fine touch on the topics we will have discussed for 3 days.
Thanks,

Thanks for the update! The latest on my situation is that it looks like
I will have to be in DC on Feb 2, but could fly out that evening. I assume

Would that be too late?
- Bruce
Bruce,
I just want to provide a quick update: we've secured an AUSA from Detroit
(Michael Bulotta) to do a case study on the Mayor Kilpatrick corruption
prosecution. While I do not think that renders your presentation any less
important or effective, I thought I would update you in case you feel the
need to stay in DC.
Thanks!

Subject: Putin alleged OC ties described in UK Litvineko report out today
Morning all,
Some especially interesting sections in UK Judge Robert Owen’s report out today. The whole thing is
written in first person. Some particularly relevant OC excerpts (page 15):
3.12 I heard that it was whilst working for the Economic Security and Organised Crime Unit that Mr
Litvinenko first began to investigate the activities of the Tambov criminal group. This was an organised
crime group based in St Petersburg. It was led by Vladimir Kumarin, also known as Barsukov, and another
man called Alexander Malyshev. In the course of his investigations, Mr Litvinenko discovered evidence that
the Tambov group was engaged in smuggling heroin from Afghanistan via Uzbekistan and St Petersburg to
Western Europe. Even more significantly, he became convinced that there was widespread collusion
between the Tambov group and KGB officials, including both Vladimir Putin and Nikolai Patrushev.
and (page 212):
Chapter 4: Organised crime
9.20 As I have described above, the fight against organised crime had been one of Mr Litvinenko’s
preoccupations since the start of his career in the Committee for State Security (KGB). His investigations
into the activity of Russian crime gangs, and in particular the Tambov/Malyshev group based in St
Petersburg, also revealed to him the extent of the collusion (as he saw it) between organised crime and
members, including senior members, of the FSB.
9.21 Mr Litvinenko sought to expose these links, in particular in his book The Gang from the Lubyanka,
which contained detailed allegations of collusion between FSB officers and organised crime.
9.22 Further, Mr Litvinenko passed information to the Mitrokhin Commission alleging that Semion
Mogilevich, apparently one of the leaders of Russian organised crime, was an FSB agent with a
769
longstanding personal relationship with President Putin.
9.23 Finally, I have also heard evidence that towards the end of his life Mr Litvinenko was assisting the
Spanish authorities with investigations that they were conducting against members of Russian organised
crime groups, and that he thought it possible that he might give evidence against them in court.
9.24 It follows from this short summary that a theory that Mr Lugovoy and Mr Kovtun killed Mr Litvinenko
on the orders of one or more members of Russian crime gangs would not be implausible.
9.25 That theory, however, is not supported by the evidence that is available to me. Detective Inspector
(DI) Mascall stated that the police investigation has not uncovered any evidence linking Mr Mogilevich
directly to the poisoning.3 More broadly, none of the evidence suggests that Mr Lugovoy and Mr Kovtun
were commissioned to kill Mr Litvinenko by members of crime gangs. More than that, I am satisfied for
reasons that I shall describe below that Mr Lugovoy and Mr Kovtun in fact received their instructions from
another source.

· Former Russian spy died in 2006 after drinking radioactive tea
· Russia says case was `politicized' and `soured' relationship
·
·
· Russian President Vladimir Putin“probably” approved the 2006 murder of Alexander Litvinenko,
using two government agents to poison the dissident spy, according to a London judge.
Forensic evidence indicates Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun killed Litvinenko by spiking his tea with a
rare radioactive substance, most likely under the direction of the FSB security service, Judge Robert Owen
said in the report published in London Thursday.

"Members of the Putin administration, including the president himself and the FSB, had motives for taking
action against Mr. Litvinenko, including killing him," Owen said. "President Putin’s conduct towards Mr.
Lugovoi suggests a level of approval for the killing."
Litvinenko, a critic of the Kremlin who lived in the U.K. capital, died about three weeks after ingesting the
radioactive polonium. The 44-year-old blamed his death on Putin in an impassioned statement from his
hospital bed.
“All the evidence points in one direction,” Owen said in a summary. “When they killed Mr. Litvinenko, they
were acting on behalf of someone else.”
Strained Relations
Since the inquiry began in January 2015, Anglo-Russian diplomatic relations have sunk to their lowest
point since the Cold War and Thursday’s report may further strain the relationship. The investigation
pored over CCTV footage that retraced Litvinenko’s final weeks, and examined his complicated
relationships with British spy agencies and oligarchs.
“We regret that a purely criminal case was politicized and soured the overall atmosphere in the bilateral
relations,” Maria Zakharova, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said in a statement. “It’s evident
that halting the coroner’s inquiry and starting ‘public hearings’ had a clear political motivation.”
The Russian currency was 3.6 percent weaker at 84.487 per dollar after the announcement. It earlier fell
to a record 85.999.
U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May condemned Russia’s failure to bring those responsible to justice over
the years. Both Lugovoi and Kovtun have had their assets frozen, she said in a statement.
“This was a blatant and unacceptable breach of the most fundamental tenets of international law and
civilized behavior,” May said in the House of Commons. "We have and will continue to demand that the
Russian government account for the role of the FSB in this case.”
Since 2010 “Russia has become more authoritarian, aggressive and nationalist,” May said. “We must
protect the U.K. and her interests from Russia-based threats, working closely with our allies in the EU and
NATO.”
Enemies
The original inquest into Litvinenko’s death started in 2006 and then adjourned pending criminal
investigations. A subsequent inquest in 2013 was held back by procedural delays and its investigative
powers were limited by national-security concerns.
RIA Novosti reported that Russia sees serious consequences for ties with the U.K. after the verdict, citing
an unidentified person who called the verdict “illegitimate.”
“The appearance of this report in this context, with names, is very serious, said analyst Alexei Makarkin of
the Moscow-based Center for Political Technologies. “It’s another question how the British government will
react to this. There could be harsher measures or less severe ones.”
It could be another knock into Russia’s reputation after Moscow-backed rebels were accused of July 2014
downing of a Malaysian airliner over southeastern Ukraine, he said.
Radiation Trail
The murder was “an attack on the heart of Britain, our values and our society,” the leader of the
opposition Liberal Democrat party, Tim Farron, said in an e-mailed statement. “I call for EU travel bans,
asset freezes and coordinated action to deal with those who committed this evil assassination.”
On his deathbed Litvinenko told London police he suspected Lugovoi and Kovtun were responsible for his
poisoning as they had meet several weeks earlier in an upmarket hotel. Later forensic tests showed the
three men left a trail of polonium across London.
"It would appear that Mr. Litvinenko was alive to the possibility that he had been deliberately poisoned
from the first days of his illness," Owen said in the report, which has taken around six months to publish.
Litvinenko lived an "eventful" life when he moved to the U.K. in 2000, he said.
"The evidence suggest that in the course of such activities, and just as he had in Russia, Mr. Litvinenko
may have made some dangerous enemies," Owen wrote.
Army Training
Litvinenko trained with the Russian army and was recruited into the KGB spy agency in 1987. He served
with the agency in the first Chechen conflict and was allegedly responsible for war crimes, said Robin Tam,
a lawyer for the inquiry.
The spy stayed with the agency as it was broken up after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and later
formed into the Federal Security Service, or FSB. Before his death, Litvinenko was close to Boris
Berezovsky, a one-time billionaire who was found hanging dead in a bathroom in his house outside
London in 2013.
771
Litvinenko exposed a plot in the 1990s by Russian authorities to murder Berezovsky, announcing it at a
press conference in Russia. This was an act that his former FSB colleagues considered to be a “gross
betrayal,” Tam said. The former spy pointed to Moscow after being poisoned.
“I am, of course, very pleased that the words my husband spoke on his death bed when he accused Mr.
Putin of his murder have been proved true in an English court with the highest standards of independence
and fairness,” his wife, Marina Litvinenko, said outside the court Thursday. She said all Russian
intelligence officers should be removed from the Russian embassy in London and for targeted economic
and travel sanctions at those responsible.

Global Countering Transnational Organized Crime (CTOC)

Alumni Community of Interest (COI) Workshop:
Examining Anti-Corruption Policies, Measures and Solutions
1 – 4 February 2016, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
Sponsored by Alumni Programs, College of International and Security Studies
George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies
BACKGROUND & PURPOSE: Corruption is a global phenomenon, permeating all levels of society, and
is simply defined by Transparency International as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain.
Corruption far exceeds the damage caused by any other single crime. According to World Bank estimates,
more than $1 trillion are paid in bribes every single year.
During our resident course on Countering Transnational Organized Crime (formerly “Countering Narcotics
& Illicit Trafficking”), corruption is identified as playing a dual-role: organized criminal activity depends
on it and it also obstructs our full execution of CTOC measures. Participants in our program recognize
corruption as one of the primary obstacles that they face in prosecuting organized criminal groups. A lack
of political will to confront corruption is often cited as one of the main reasons why corruption persists
globally.
Our shared experience demonstrates that corruption can only be kept in check if representatives from
government, business and civil society work together to develop standards and procedures they all support.
Countering corruption truly requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the five pillars of Detection,
Governance, Prevention, Prosecution, and Recovery.
This COI event is our fifth under the Program on Countering Transnational Organized Crime and is the
second COI workshop since our program transitioned to a global program. The workshop will include
alumni participants from the Marshall Center (primarily our CTOC program), as well as alumni from other
U.S. Department of Defense Regional Centers.
COI events are an opportunity for continued interaction and cooperation among the alumni network, and an
opportunity to examine in detail a topic relevant to CTOC. This Marshall Center workshop for Regional
Center alumni worldwide serves as a forum to examine the global scourge of corruption and review
effective national, regional, and international anti-corruption approaches, measures, programs and policies.
OBJECTIVES:
Overall objectives of this CTOC Alumni COI workshop are to:
• Examine comprehensive approaches to countering corruption, to include best practices and effective anti-
corruption measures, programs, and policies
• Develop a functionally-based, globally-networked group of security sector professionals to generate
sustained communication and facilitate concrete actions in countering security threats
• Operationalize the network of CTOC-focused alumni from the Marshall Center and other Regional
Centers by developing and strengthening ties between alumni, encouraging the exchange of ideas and
collaboration, and enabling a platform for partners and stakeholders to engage with, support, and elicit
feedback from alumni

Dear Alumni: WELCOME BACK TO THE MARSHALL CENTER!
Travel Arrangements:
Marshall Center funded participants will receive information regarding their airline tickets for travel to
Munich from their contact at the U.S. Embassy in their respective country or directly from the Marshall Center
(Point of Contact (b)(6) per DOD ). Any changes in the flight itinerary (for both arrival and departure flights)
must be coordinated through the Marshall Center travel office. You are also responsible for keeping the
Marshall Center informed of any changes in your flight itinerary to prevent complications with airport
transportation. All itinerary changes within 72 hours prior to arrival should be reported to one of the Points of
Contact listed at the top of this document.
All other participants not funded by the Marshall Center are considered self-payers and should make their own
flight arrangements to Munich (or other travel arrangements bringing them directly to Garmisch-Partenkirchen).
Air Arrival and Departure:
Arrival (Funded Participants): The Marshall Center will provide your transportation from Munich
International Airport to the hotel in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Transportation will be by sedan, minivan, or bus
and contracted driver (the drive will take app. 1 ½ - 3 hours depending on weather/traffic). You will be met by a
Marshall Center driver/representative carrying a sign with the Marshall Center seal. Please look for the person
with this sign as you enter the arrival area (outside the baggage claim area) of Terminal 1 or 2.

Please wait at your arrival area. If after 15 minutes you have still not seen anyone please contact the Marshall
Center Transportation Coordinator (Mr. Lionel Graham) under Mobile Phone: +49 (0)172 525 6676. You will
receive further instructions.
Please DO NOT TAKE A TAXI OR TRAIN as the Marshall Center cannot reimburse this expense.
Self-Payers: You must arrange for your own transportation. For airport transportation from Munich to
Garmisch, the recommended (and often quickest) transport is via railway/train. From the Munich Airport, you
can take the S1 or S8 railway (depart every 20 minutes) to the Munich main train station and board a train to
Garmisch (trains depart roughly every 30 minutes depending on time of day). You can purchase a ticket at
Munich Airport for the entire trip, cost: app. €19-27 one way (simply follow the S-Bahn/Train signs to the
Deutsche Bahn (DB) service area). Airport and railway information can be viewed on the following website:
http://www.munich-airport.de/en/consumer/index.jsp
Train information and costs are on the following website: http://www.bahn.de/p en/view/index.shtml
Finally, taxis at the Garmisch train station can then transport you to your hotel in less than 5 minutes.
There are also several fee-based shuttle & bus services available that operate between Munich and Garmisch-
Partenkirchen. Two such services can be booked online at: http://www.airport-shuttle-zugspitzland.de/ and
http://meinfernbus.de/en .
Departure (Funded Participants): Your personal departure time and date will be listed on the “Departure
Information Board” in the coffee break area (near the plenary room) during the workshop. Please check the list
and confirm your flight and departure information. Please be on time for the vehicle departure to the airport so
others are not delayed and please ensure that you have your entire luggage with you at the time of departure.
Note: All pickup times are scheduled by the Marshall Center Transportation Coordinator and can occur up to 4+
hours prior to airline departure (to account for potential traffic/weather and guarantee your timely arrival for
check-in).

Accompanied by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, Donald Trump attended the extravagant
70th birthday party of long-time friend Steve Schwarzman in Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday
night. According to reports, Schwarzman, who is the CEO of global private equity firm The
Blackstone Group, is committed to serving as a key advisor to Trump with the intention of
meeting “frequently” on issues of strategy and policy. Schwarzman made headlines recently
for having traveled with Trump on Air Force One, and after his family housekeeper was pushed
in front of a subway car and killed in Times Square back in November.
In recent days, a great deal of media attention has been paid to Trump’s National Security
Advisor General Michael Flynn for his possibly illegal discussions with the Kremlin prior to
Inauguration Day in which he may have projected the Trump administration’s intention to lift
sanctions on Russia once Trump assumed office. However, the real story here may in fact be
Schwarzman.
After weeks of sifting through financial disclosures and filing records, a group of concerned
citizens investigating Trump’s ties to Russia has uncovered evidence to suggest that the two
companies involved in the Rosneft deal have ties to the Koch Brothers and Donald Trump
himself. Indeed, Schwarzman’s Blackstone Group may now hold a stake in Rosneft, Russia’s
government-owned oil company that famously sold 19.5% of its stock to two investors this past
December: the first was Glencore, to which evidence suggests the Koch Brothers are connected,
and the second, a mysterious Qatar-based nest doll of shell corporations, which evidence
suggests is ultimately owned by Schwarzman.
Schwarzman’s possible connection to Rosneft puts Mr. Trump dangerously close to allegations
brought forth in the controversial Russian dossier that suggested he was offered a 19 percent
stake in the oil company in exchange for lifting American sanctions against Russia. If Donald
Trump was involved with the Rosneft deal it would constitute a high crime of treason worthy of
impeachment and have deeper ramifications about Trump’s knowledge with regards to cyber
interference in the presidential election.
The Money Trail
Document ID: 0.7.18991.6573-000001

The Panama Papers, which leaked in 2016, revealed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s
penchant for pilfering assets into off-shore shell companies.
On Sunday, December 11, 2016, Reuters reported that Russia signed a deal with Glencore, a
commodities trader based out of London, and the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Qatar’s
government-owned holding company that conducts foreign investments, to sell a 19.5 percent
stake in oil major Rosneft. The privatization deal was called the “largest in Russia’s history” by
Rosneft Chief Executive Igor Sechin.
Right off the bat, it should be noted that none other than the Koch Brothers have an investment
with Glencore.
On January 10, according to a Russian news publication known as RBC, 19.5 percent of Rosneft
shares were moved to a Singapore-based company known as QHG Shares Pte Ltd, which
Rosneft confirms owns 19.5 percent of its shares as of February 1, 2017. This company
represents a consortium of Glencore and QIA.

This is where things get interesting: QHG Shares Pte. Ltd. is itself made up of a series of shell
organizations and front companies.

The Qatar shell corporations that make up the financial backing for the Rosneft deal include
QHG Cayman. http://www.rbc.ru/business/10/01/2017/587507a39a7947c61978c0d2
Among them is a little known organization based out of the Cayman Islands known as QHG
Cayman Limited, which along with several other companies makes up the financial backing for
the Rosneft deal in December. More of QHG Cayman’s filing history can be found with the UK
Companies House Filing Records.
The Link to Schwarzman

The Blackstone Group, for which Mr. Schwarzman serves as co-founder and CEO, acquired
Intertrust, a Dutch trust firm, in 2012. Intertrust has a series of assets located in the Cayman
Islands, including Walker’s Management Services (WMS). Walker’s shares an address with
and registered a Limited Liability Partnership called QHG Cayman Limited on December 16,
2016, only nine days after the Rosneft deal took place and just before the assets were moved to
QHG Shares Pte. Ltd.
If this money trail is correct, it would mean Schwarzman now has an interest in the 19.5 percent
Rosneft stake.
The owners of QHG Cayman Limited have not been independently verified.
This comes amidst Friday’s explosive report from the Washington Post that Trump’s National
Security Advisor, General Michael Flynn, had communicated with Sergey Kislyak, a Russian
ambassador, about lifting sanctions against Russia a month before Donald Trump assumed
office. Flynn had previously denied such a conversation occurred. The Washington Post report
alleged that the conversations “were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate
and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that
were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its
alleged interference in the 2016 election.”
Reuters ran a detailed report on how Russia was able to sell its massive oil stake without
disclosing the buyers, a mystery that has sparked the fascination of people around the world,
particularly after it was widely reported that former president Barack Obama and Mr. Trump
Document ID: 0.7.18991.6573-000001

were both briefed last month regarding a 35-page intelligence dossier prepared by well-known
British intelligence agent Christopher Steele. The controversial “Russia dossier” was
subsequently leaked, a move that was criticized because of the unconfirmed nature of the report
and the salacious allegations it contained.
One such allegation, was explicit: Donald Trump would receive up to a 19 percent share of
Rosneft in exchange for lifting sanctions placed on Russia. While the Russian Dossier has not
been confirmed in full, CNN reported on Friday that U.S. investigators have corroborated
portions of the dossier.

Wikipedia Excerpt:
Paul M. Joyal (born 1954) is an American security analyst and media commentator who frequently
comments on political and security matters concerning Russia and former Soviet countries. A critic of the
administration of Russian president Vladimir Putin, in late February 2007 Joyal told Dateline NBC that the
murder of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko served as a warning to all critics of the Putin
government.[1]
A few days later, on March 1, Joyal was shot and wounded outside his home in Adelphi, Maryland. The
Washington Post reports that the attack is under investigation by the FBI.[2][3] Earlier that evening, Joyal
had dined with former KGB general Oleg Kalugin; Kalugin (whom the Russian Government accused of
being a US agent) later told the Washington Post that he was not sure whether the attack was politically
motivated.[4]

Tamince’s brother defends Arif over yacht orgy

Fettah Tamince has a brother named Fesih Tamince. He testified at a February
2011 hearing about the yacht orgy. He appears to have claimed, “We are also
engaged in the jewelry business. They [the Russian and Ukrainian girls] came for
catalog shoots.”1
Tracking the origins of claims that Arifov was part of the Uzbek
mafia
Andrey Kalitin, Zero Hour
These claims appear most abundantly in the 2008 biography of the Chernoy
brothers by Andrey Kalitin called Zero Hour, 2 which is a tendentious source.
 The book appeared amidst a UK lawsuit filed in 2006 between Oleg Deripaska
and Mikhail Chernoy.

 Chernoy claimed in a separate lawsuit that Deripaska had commissioned
Kalitin’s book as part of a defamation campaign against him. 34 Chernoy
submitted materials including purported emails involving Kalitin.

 Kalitin countered that most of the emails attributed to him are forgeries, with a
few genuine documents included to fool readers. 5

 Russian blogger Solomin wrote in 2007 that not all the dirt on Chernoy was
necessarily dug up by Deripaska. Some of it may have been publicized by other
émigré businessmen such as former Yukos officer Nevzlin, Arkadiy Gaydamak,
Lev Levayev, Boris Berezovskiy, or others seeking to solidify their position in
Israel by dissociating themselves from the "Russian mafia."6

Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000001 20180618-0000372

 Kalitin was shot and wounded in June 2007, just before publication of his book.
Chernoy denied involvement and suggested that the shooting was faked.7
Assuming Kalitin was not making up the information about Arifov, where did
he get it?
 “The press has often expressed the assertion,” he says, that the Chernoys
acquired their starting capital with help from from Uzbek crime bosses like
Gafur Rakhimov and Tofik Arifov, rather than from selling slippers.
 Kalitin continues, “In the Russian press there is practically no information about
Chernoy’s starting capital.” Rather, Kalitin pulls together facts from the brothers’
biography, such as a gap in their biographies from 1985, when they founded the
one of the first cooperatives in Uzbekistan, to 1992, when they cofounded TWG,
to suggest illicit activity.

 Kalitin says his findings are based on “spending a few weeks in the archives of
dozens of Soviet and Russian newspapers” and on talking with Uzbek
immigrants [in the UK? Israel? Russia?].

 He says the Chernoys’ 1980s cooperative was part of the Association of
Cooperatives and Small Enterprises (AKAMP), created by the Tashkent
Communist Party organization and headed by Gafur Rakhimov. AKAMP
members benefited from a special CPSU program that allowed enterprises to use
some of their export earnings to buy consumer goods abroad. The Chernoys
made big money by importing and reselling electronics.

 He says the Chernoys and Rakhimov became partners with Salim Abduvaliyev,
who was known in police files as an extortionist. He cites former Uzbek law
enforcement officers to say, “through Abduvaliyev, ties were maintained [by
whom? AKAMP? The Chernoys?] with “Shukhrat,” who was then the crime boss
of Tashkent.
 Kalitin then cites rumors and oft-repeated assertions in the press that say the
Chernoys’ cooperative was used to launder Salim and Gafur’s drug money.
 Kalitin cites the “second Uzbek case,” an early 1990s criminal case against the
sons of former Uzbek regional Communist party bosses, including the Chernoys’
sponsor Alimov. He says case materials showed money flows to neighboring
Chymkent Oblast, in Kazakhstan.

 Kalitin writes, “Tashkent oldsters will probably still remember the scandal
surrounding the so-called flower mafia,” which culminated in a knife battle in
Tashkent’s streets. “This story is thought to be linked with a redistribution of
spheres of influence in favor of a certain crime boss named Tofik (Tofik Arifov),
who now lives in Turkey and owns the most luxurious hotels of that country.”

Bartholemew's Notes on Religion, http://barthsnotes.wordpress.com/2007/08/29/jerusalem-

summit-sponsor-accuses-critical-journalist-of-faking-gun-attack/, 29 August 2007. The book,
coauthored with American Alexander Grant, is entitled “The Time of Ch.” http://www.labirint-
shop.ru/books/161125/
Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000001 20180618-0000373

 Kalitin cites official police information saying the Chernoys brought the goods
to Russia.. “From the look of things [судя по всему] drugs also went to these
regions together with the flowers.”

o This can be deduced from the fact that “these deliveries were
‘protected’ by so-called sportsmen, the same [Gafur] Rakhimov and
[Salim] Abduvaliyev.”
o “These regions” refers to Siberia and the Russian Far East, which
Kalitin calls the home territory of the Uzbek mafia.

 The sources for Kalitin’s book also included Peter Grinenko, a third-generation
émigré working in the Brooklyn prosecutor’s office, and FBI agent Ray Kerr,
 Kalitin had several interviews, starting in 1996, with New York-based Russian
crime figure Sam Kislin, who deeply resents Chernoy for doublecrossing him.
Kislin serves as an informant for the FBI, Kalitin says.

o Kislin said he met Chernoy in the late 1980s but, after threats from
Chernoy’s associates, quit his aluminum partnership with Chernoy in
1992.
o Kislin said his nephew Alik continued to work with Chernoy,.
o Does Kislin’s 1980s partnership with Tamir Sapir link him with Arif?
Does his 2000s era hostility to Chernoy taint his testimony?

 Kalitin cites a Chernoy interview in a Russian newspaper, where Chernoy says
he invested money in US real estate through Sam Kislin’s nephew Alik for 4-5
years. Chernoy claims he sold out at the peak, in 1998, but that he looked into
setting up a telecommunications business centered in Canada.

 Kalitin also cites a strategy document for the investigation of criminal case No.
117449, which was brought in the mid-1990s against Lev Chernoy but dropped.
The document was apparently shown to him by antimafia investigator
Lieutenant S. Glushenkov.
o The document read in part, “They say that Tashkent crime groups,
whose leaders were his [Lev’s] school friends, helped Lev and
Mikhail Chernoy.”
o “It is reported [Есть данные ] that the Tashkent crime family
allotted money for the development of his cooperative from its
common kitty [obshchak], but this is very dubious.”

o “They say Mikhail Chernoy contacted crime bosses like thief-in-law
Slava Yaponchik and ‘Otarik’ (Otari Kvantrishvili) through Uzbek
criminal authorities Gafur Rakhimov and Tofik Arifov. We have
already pointed this out….”

 This case was ongoing as of 1996. According to a German police summary of
a Swiss investigation, Moscow law enforcement asked Swiss investigators,
who had arrested Chernoy, to question him about aluminum theft (the
subject of case 117449) and fraud (case 81659). 8

 Glushenkov apparently “lost interest” in the case by 1998.
 The claims weighed in these materials from case 117449 also appear (without
any caveats) in two January 2003 articles in Satcor.ru.

 An article from January 3 cites an anti-Chernoy spoof website, chernoi.nu,
which appears to have been created by then-Putin campaign manager

Marina Litvinovich.9 The domain was paid for using a fake credit card and
put up 22 November 1999, shortly before the Duma elections. It was taken
down on Chernoy’s request in January 2000.10

 An article from January 16 cached from the satcor website does not give a
citation for the paragraph about Arifov, but the following paragraph cites a
Fortune magazine article from 12 June 2000. Fortune magazine’s free archive
does not go back that far so I could not check whether the Fortune article really
was the source for the claim about Arifov.
Why would Putin’s 2000 campaign team (using chernoi.nu) invent an Uzbek
criminal Tofik Arifov?

His main rivals in the December 1999 Duma elections and March 2000 presidential
election were Moscow mayor Yuriy Luzhkov and former Prime Minister Yevgeniy
Primakov, who had united in the Fatherland-All Russia Party, as well as Gennadiy
Zyuganov’s Communist Party.

 Chechen hotelier Umar Dzhabrailov did nominally run in the 2000 election but
probably never expected to get many votes.

 Putin’s strategists, led by Boris Berezovskiy and Vladislav Surkov, and political
consultants Gleb Pavlovsky and Marina Litvinovich, groomed the image of Putin
and of his Unity Party for those elections.11

 The surge of Russian national fervor accompanying the Second Chechen War
boosted Putin’s popularity.

 Also in 1999, six months before the elections, Berezovskiy had bought the
influential newspaper Kommersant, using Iran-born Kia Joorabchian as cover.12

Kia received help from Roy Azim, who was reportedly friendly with Tofik Arifov.

 In February 2000, a month before the presidential election, Berezovskiy and
Abramovich took over TWG’s aluminum assets from Chernoy.13 As part of the
deal, Chernoy’s erstwhile partner Deripaska into the chairmanship of the
consolidated company, Rusal. It is unclear whether this transaction was pegged
to the election.
 If Berezovsky/Abramovich and Tevfik Arif were all helping the Yeltsin family
and its chosen successor, Putin, why would Putin strategists tar Tofik Arifov with
the brush of being an Uzbek criminal?
Was Arifov a school friend of Lev Chernoy?
The satcor.ru article from January 3 2003, focusing on Bykov, identifies Arifov as a
school friend of Lev Chernoy.14 The article provides a parenthetical citation to
chernoi.ru (Chernoy’s real website) a few paragraphs later, and it is unclear whether
this statement comes from there.
In contrast, it was Alimzhan Tokhtakhunov and the KGB , not Rakhimov and
Arifov, who were identified as Lev Chernoy’s patrons in a biography posted on
compromat.ru on 10 March 2000, just 13 days before the elections that confirmed
Putin as president. compromat.ru claimed the unattributed article came from its
forum. No other cached copies could be found. This feature piece on Lev Chernoy,
written in a literary style with no citations, claimed two other patrons for Lev:
 Alimzhan Tokhtakhunov (Taivanchik), whom it described as his school friend
and protector.
o This article says it was Tokhtakhunov, not Rakhimov and Arifov, who
introduced Lev to Vladislav Ivankov (Yaponchik) and Otari Kvantrishvili
(Otarik).
 The KGB, who arrested Lev for illegal trading activities in the 1980s but released
in return for a commitment to serve as an informer for them.

o The KGB also helped Lev Chernoy land his job in the excavator plant,
claims the article.15
Other authors speak more generally of Chernoy receiving help from school friends
from the Uzbek crime world. Kalitin mentions this general group of friends in one
place, and Tokhtakhunov in another place.16

If Tofik Arifov really were a school friend, it would have been at school # 129 in
Tashkent, where Lev transferred after 8th grade. Lev had previously studied at a
special school due to his disability: a bout with polio had reportedly forced the
amputation of part of his leg.17An iniitial keyword search for alumni ofSchool #129
yielded nothing relevant.
1999 compromat dump against Anatoliy Bykov and Yuriy Luzhkov
“…[Anatoliy] Bykov’s [crime] group coalesced in 1990-1992. Its ‘godfathers’ in the
crime world are Salim Abdulayev [aka Abduvaliyev] (‘Salim’) and Tofik Arifov
(‘Tofik), leaders of the Uzbek crime group, who have been actively working with L.
Chernoy since the late 1980s…..
“Bykov, observing his agreement with Yaponchik, coordinated his activities with the
heads of TWG[the Chernoys]. In 1995-1996 he spend a total of several months in
the US and met with Yaponchik more than once.”
These claims appeared in a report that was apparently written in early-to-mid-1997 and
came to light on a shortlived website, known as Kogot’-2 or web102b9.ntx.net or
krasnobykow.com, which has been described as “yet another compromat dump.”
 Kogot-2 [“Claw-2”] appeared 18 February 1999, ahead of the 1999 parliamentary
and 2000 presidential elections. It focused on Krasnoyarsk crime-linked
businessman Anatoliy Bykov, particularly on his “shady ties” with Moscow
mayor Yuriy Luzhkov. The site was soon closed.”18 Bykov was at the time
opposing Krasnoyarsk regional Governor Aleksandr Lebed.19

 As Moscow Times points out, “It's fascinating stuff - and almost totally
unsubstantiated. Theories abound about who is behind Kogot and other such
sites - could it be spies, political imagemakers, jittery journalists?....

 “‘There is a ton of such material gathered around Moscow,’ [Moscow News
webmaster Anton] Nossik said. ‘Private investigators are listening in, the
secret services are listening in, specialists paid for by the newspapers such as

Moskovsky Komsomolets are listening in. There are piles and piles of such
tapes lying around many offices’.”20

 At least some of the material in an earlier Kogot compromat dump was genuine,
according to one of its victims.
Sources from Compromat.ru articles on Lev and Mikhail Chernoy
“According to the newspaper ‘Konservator’ (2003), “The Chernoy brothers
obtained money to develop their business through ties with the Uzbek criminal
community, particularly with Gafur Rakhimov and Tofik Arifov,” says a biography
of Mikhail Chernoy put together by aksnews.ru, the Agency for Conflict Situations.
 AKS is a subsidiary of Rosbalt, which is co-owned by the wife of former anti-

drug tsar Cherkesov (a former Leningrad KGB boss of Putin) and by the
Luzhkov-friendly and crime-linked Vladimir Yevtushenkov of the Sistema
conglomerate.21
The cited Konservator article exists only as a reprint on compromat.ru and contains
no mention of Rakhimov or Arifov.
 If it originally did make such claims, they may have been removed and papered
over with more neutral text. The following paragraph in the version posted in
compromat.ru might be the papered-over version:

 “In 1985 the brothers opened one ofthe first cooperatives in Tashkent. First the
joint venture worked in the flower business, but later the brothers’ circle of
interest expanded from day to day. Older brother Mikhail took on the organization
ofproduction, while Lev took care ofraw materials supply, product sales, and
financial issues.”22
 This mild phrasing about raw materials supply may disguise what some sources
say explicitly: that the Chernoy brothers’ cooperative supplied itself with goods
stolen from the factory where Lev worked. Kalitin disputes this claim, however.
Rumafia.com’s version of Mikhail Chernoy’s biography also quoted the exact same
phrase, “the Chernoy brothers obtained the money to develop their business
through ties with the Uzbek criminal community, primarily with Gafur Rakhimvo
and Tofik Arifov.”

FBI Report reportedly mentions Gafur and Salim but not Tofik
A 2012 report in the semi-tabloid Argumenty I fakty cites an FBI “Organized Crime”
report as saying that in 1987, when Mikhail Chernoy came to “conquer Moscow,” he
carried “’recommendation letters’ from ‘respected’ Tashkent businessmen known
by their nicknames Gafur and Salim. Thanks to these, the visitor to the capital
became acquainted with Sergey Mikhaylov, the ‘businessman from Solntsevo’, and
with Antol Malevskiy…Sergey Timofeyev and a whole number of other prominent
personalities…”24

Gulnara’s family: If Gulnara/Julia had three small children in the 1990s and was
managing a realty company, she would have needed childcare. Many people from
the former Soviet Union bring over their parents to help with this. I looked for other
Turkish-, Russian- or Central Asian-sounding names o (b)(6)
to see whether any of them might have been her parents. No clear candidates
emerged. However, it would be worth looking at other residents of the Arif family’s
other homes for other possible relatives of Gulnara.
Julius Schwarz—why so important?
According to documents obtained by The Telegraph, when the Icelandic group FL

Arif, Felix Sater, Julius Schwarz and Jody Kriss remained as Bayrock managers for
the full 15 years. 25
 It is understandable that whoever stands behind FL would want to keep Arif and
Sater employed, but what value to them were Schwartz and Kriss?
 A search for Schwarz’s name in Russian along with various spellings of
“Bayrock” yields almost nothing.

 How does this FL document fit with claims by mobster-turned-informant
Salvatore Lauria that it was he, working as a consultant to Bayrock, who in
2007 brokered a $85 million deal making Iceland’s FL Group partners in the
Midtown Miami development? Is this the same deal described Lauria says
Bayrock finance director Jody Kriss was angry that he kept the $2.5 million
commission and later filed a lawsuit against the company and threatened
Lauria’s life.2627
 Also, did Kriss’ departure and lawsuit against Bayrock affect the FL “loan”?
From Pavel Fuchs Update 20 September 2016-09-24

Coincidence? Milediy Kukuts was born in 1953, the same year as Tofik Arifov. It
seems unlikely they ever encountered each other. The only likely place would have
been in the military. People from Central Asia (at least the less educated ones)
tended to be placed in construction battalions, not paratrooper divisions. Arifov, as
a member of the exiled Meskhetian Turks, on the one hand may have experienced
residual persecution, but on the other hand may have had the incentive to get a good
education and excel. (This is what the exiled Koreans did).

Key Findings
The brother with the chromium money: Rafik Arifov /Refik Arif and the
Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory (AZHS)

 Tofik Murtazayevich Arifov coauthored several patents on chromium-based
leather tanning. Though published in 1998-2000, they were likely for inventions
developed in the Soviet era. Thus, in Soviet times he was either a specialist on
chromium chemistry, or a powerful manager in the chromium industry.

 Tevfik’s brother Rafik Murtazayevich Arifov (Refik Arif) co-owns Doyen
Capital and Doyen Sport, as well as French real estate holdings, Bilge Turizm in
Turkey, and the UK-based companies Bondex Trading Ltd and Networld Trading,
which serve as representatives of the Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds factory.
Ties between Cengiz Family and AZHS

 A subsidiary of the Cengiz Holding empire in Turkey won a road-buildling
contract in Aktobe. Several of the people managing that subsidiary also hold top
posts in AZHS.
 A Murtaza Rustamovich Arifov, who is probably Tevfik Arif’s nephew, is a
consultant to the subsidiary.

 The Cengiz empire could be the power behind the Arif family empire, or it relies
on the Arifs to help them gain entrée to contracts in Kazakhstan.
Did the Arif brothers get early funding from Akhmetov/Gumenyuk?

 Rixos chief Fettah Tamince, in a 2005interview, claimed that Bilge Turizm, the
Arif brothers’ company, received funding from Rinat Akhmetov and Igor
Gumenyuk, Ukrainian oligarchs close to Yanukovych.
Possible military or security services link?

 Tofik Murtazayevich Arifov’s co-authors on the chromium tanning patents
include people who have worked for institutes that have developed protective
gear for the Soviet military and special services.

 One co-author, Nina Okhotnikova, formerly worked for a “post-office-box,” likely
a secret military installation whose identity remains to be determined possibly
AZHS itself.
 Okhotnikova now holds a top post at AZHS.
 Also, a possibly related company called Bayrok is located at a police
experimental factory.
Kronos Capital
 Tevfik Arif’s children co-directed Kronos Capital Ltd from 2009 to 2011.
 The company apparently existed before and after these years and did projects in
Ukraine.
 People linked with Kronos Capital were also linked with InvestUkraine and
Castle Finance, which in turn is linked with UkrSibBank and BNP Paribas.

Who-whom still unclear

It is unclear who, if anyone, stands behind the Arif family’s money flows.
 Their chromium factory and development projects in themselves were probably
lucrative. But they have to be locally powerful to avoid corporate raids, and to
keep on good terms with Nazarbayev in Kazakhstan, Erdogan in Turkey, and
other powerful elites in both countries.

 Perhaps Tevfik Arif is forced to continually cultivate Aleksandr Mashkevich
and ENRC, which owns upstream and downstream chromium factories, but
apparently his Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory remains independent of
them.
 The Cengiz family is clearly tied with AZHS.. Either they own a stake in it, or the
Arif family smoothes their way to lucrative contracts in Kazakhstan. Is there a
conflict between this relationship and Trump’s partnership with the Dogan
family. The Dogan daughters have married into several Turkish dynasties but
not into the Cengiz family .29

 We have seen Fettah Tamince claim that Rinat Akhmetov and Igor Gumenyuk
provided early funding for the Arif brothers’ Bilge Turizm, which built their first
Rixos hotel in Turkey.

 Former BTA bank chief Mukhtar Ablyazov should probably be brought back in
here. He was Minister of Energy, Industry and Trade in 1998-1999 and may
have helped AZHS when it briefly listed on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange.
People surrounding Trump and Bayrock have been implicated in thefts of budget
money by the Khrapunov family, also linked with Ablyazov. How about the Arif
family?
Born in Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan?

Evidence that Tevfik and his brothers were born in Kazakhstan:
 On incorporation papers for Ravana Private Holding, brother Refik wrote
that he was born in “Cambul,” Kazakhstan.

 However, the reliability of the information these documents is dubious.
Other brother Vakif wrote incomprehensibly, “Place of birth: Kazakstan.
Country of birth: Turkey. Nationality. Kazakhstan.” 30
Evidence that Tevfik and his brothers were born in Uzbekistan:

As of 1997, brother Rafik spelled his patronymic in the Uzbek way, Murtozayevich
with an “o” in the middle, when registering a car in Almaty. 31
29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayd%C4%B1n Do%C4%9Fan
30number 114098: Ravana Private Foundation, http://www2.curacao-
chamber.cw/excerpt.asp

Document ID: 0.7.17531.5874-000001 20180618-0000383

This may be a stretch: If Tevfik named “Bayrock” for the Turkic word for “flag,”
when he chose to spell it with an “o” he was choosing an Uzbek spelling.
Information that might resolve the question:
If someone could safely look at the zipped directory information for brother Refik
that said he lived in Novovoskresensk, Zhambyl Oblast. According to the fragment in
the Google search result, the entry should include place of birth (Russian initials
м.р.). We still don’t know the source or reliability ofthis information.
Uzbek mafia—ways to check for Arifov connection?

 Kalitin writes, “Tashkent oldsters will probably still remember the scandal
surrounding the so-called flower mafia,” which culminated in a knife battle in
Tashkent’s streets. “This story is thought to be linked with a redistribution of
spheres of influence in favor of a certain crime boss named Tofik (Tofik
Arifov),
o --where else did I see references to this battle? Was it 1994? If so, not
related to 1980s flower mafia battle

 If Arifov really were allowed to travel abroad, and were related to Rakhimov, it
might have been through AKAMP, the Association of Cooperatives and Small
Businesses, which was sponsored by the Party and Komsomol.

o Rakhimov elsewhere claimed to have worked for the Soviet trade
ministry FIND
o Try searches for Арифов АКАМП?
 A person with a hometown and training similar to his worked for
KurortProdTorg (Resort Supply and Trade) 32. Perhaps that is where Arifov
worked. Try searches for Арифов Курортпродторг
People who know about Central Asian OC in the 1990s:

 Martha Brill Olcott at Carnegie
 Kim Thachuk and Karen (formerly worked with Louise Shelley)
 Eric McGlinchy at GMU?
 David Satter?
 Dan Kimmage? (He was at State Dept, last I heard, and might not be in a position
to talk).
 Bob Orttung
 Lisa Tarantino? (Her name was suggested by a friend who worked in Central
Asia in the ‘90s). After graduating from SIPA at Columbia U. in 1994, Tarantino
worked in Uzbekistan for three years, apparently trying to set up a business.

Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory

Aktyubinsk Chromium Chemicals Plant , Актюбинский завод хромовых

Not part of ENRC’s KazChrome but reliant on it

Contrary to speculation in the 13Sept16 report, AZHS is not part of KazChrome,
which is owned by Aleksandr Mashkevich’s ENRC.

 Rather, it is downstream consumer of raw materials from KazChrome plants.
 AZHS produces chromium chemicals such as sodium dichromate, while
KazChrome produces both the raw materials and also chromium metal.33 3435
 AZHS is located across the railroad tracks from ENRC’s FerroChrome plant.
Photo of AZHS published by a blogger in 2013. 36 He wrote that Kazakh authorities
had earlier confiscated photos of these strategic facilities.
 Over 90% of AZHS’ chromium salts are exported.37

Refik Arif’s Bondex Trading Ltd. Describes itself as the “Only Representative of
Aktyubinsk Chromium Chemicals Plant, Kazakhstan.” In that capacity, it signed
European Chemicals Agency documents seeking exemptions from new restrictions
on chromium trioxide.38
Refik Arif’s company Networld Trading apparently also represents AZHS. He
attended a 2009 chromium conference in South Africa as a representative of this
company.

representative, but earlier he had represented “Bondextrading” at a 2012 gathering
on chromate compounds.40
Saburbaev was bor (b)(6) 41 and attended school No. 7 in Ust-
Kamenogorsk, eastern Kazakhstan.42 He lives in Balashikha, a suburb of Moscow,
and was on lists of potential jurors from that town.43 A schoolchild named Timur

Possible link with military work

 As mentioned in an earlier report, Tofik Arifov’s patents related to chromium-
based leather tanning compounds, all applied for in 1998-1999, could have been
an attempt to gain credit for work done secretly earlier.

The biography of his co-patent-holder Nina Anatolyevna Okhotnikova suggests a
tie to Soviet-era military-related work and to the Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds
Factory.
 She earned patents and published papers in the 1970s and 1980s on the
production of chromic acid and chromium trioxide.

 Some of her work was published in the journal of the Urals Chemical Research
Institute in Sverdlovsk, a region with many military industrial factories.48

 She was listed as working at “Post Office Box А-7125 Enterprise” in a 1981
patent. 49
o This is probably a secret military facility.
o This may have been the AZHS itself. Kazakh authorities considered them
strategic facilities (see caption above).

o Alternatively, this may have been one of Kazakhstan’s many other
leather-tanning and shoe-making factories. 50

o Aktobe itself had a shoe factory.51
o DzhambulKozhObuv (now renamed TarazKozhObuv when the city got
renamed Taraz), one of the biggest leather shoe factories in the USSR,52
which had 5000 workers in the 1970s53 and branches in smaller towns.54

 DzhambulKozhObuv produced boots for the army, law
enforcement, security and emergency services. 55

o If Dzhambul was Tofik Arifov’s hometown, he may have gotten his start at
DzhambulKozhObuv.
o Alternatively, they may have worked at the Zemlyachka Uralsk Chrome
Factory, a five-hour drive from Aktobe. A discussion participant recalls
that in Soviet days the Zemlyachka factory produced leather and
chromium tanning compounds for export.5657

 As of 2000, 2014 and 2016 Okhotnikova was working for Gibraltar-registered
Chromachem International, a shareholder of AZHS.

o She served as representative of two corporate shareholders at AZHS

Cengiz company shares personnel with AZHS

Several people associated with the Arifovs or with the Aktyubinsk Chrome
Compounds Factory also work for the Cengiz construction company’s affiliate in the
Aktobe region of Kazakhstan.
Cengiz İnşaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., [Дженгиз Иншаат Санайии Ве Тикарет
А.Ш.] won a contract to build a stretch of highway from Aktobe to Martuk. It is part
of a Chinese-funded Western China to Western Europe project, part of China’s Silk
Road infrastructure investment endeavor (europe-china.kz or silk-road.kz).12

 Murtaza Rustamovich Arifov, who is probably Tevfik’s nephew, has the cryptic
title “project consultant.”

o Vague jobs like this sometimes mask a do-nothing job given to
somebody’s relative as a form of bribe in return for help in getting a
contract.3
o Evidence that Murtaza, son of Rustam, is Tofik’s nephew: Tofik
Murtazayevich Arifov lived at the same address as Rustam
Murtazayevich Arifov (b)(6) Rustam was at that
address sometime after 2001. 4 Tofik’s entry is undated 5.

 In a different, undated directory, Rustam had a different address,
(b)(6) ,
phon (b)(6) an (b)(6)
 Yelena Vladimirovna Sabinina, a representative of two shareholders of AZHS

at the meetings of 2014 and 2016, is listed as a cadres specialist for Cengiz
Insaat’s road project.
 Roman Viktorovich Tishchenko, husband of AZHS officer Nadezhda
Gennadyevna Tishchenko, 6is “Deputy Director for General Issues” on the
project.7

 Murat Zeynabilov also heads Aktobe Temirzhol TOO (Aktobe Railroad LLC). Its
offices are located in the AZHS complex.9

o There is also a border crossing called Aktobe Temirzhol, which was
involved in some smuggling scandals. It is unclear whether this company
is related to that border crossing.

The Turkish construction magnates spell their name with a hard “C” (no curlicue)
that is pronounced like a soft “g” or “j” in English.

It is apparently distinct from the the Iranian-born, UK-based Iraqi Jewish securities
dealers, Robert, Vincent and Lisa Tchenguiz (original name Khadouri),

 They were arrested in 2011 after Kaupthing’s collapse but not Indicted. 10
 Their sister, Lisa Tchenguiz, had gone into the restaurant business with Ivana
Trump by 2006. 11 (see 22 April and 26 August notes)
Parent company Cengiz Insaat was founded in 1987 in Istanbul and focuses on
infrastructure.12
The Arifov family probably smoothed the way with local Aktyubinsk region
authorities for the Cengiz family to get the contract for building that section of the
giant Western China to Western Europe road.

 In return for their help, the Arifovs got a family member signed on as a
“consultant.”
 Also, they got control over the hiring of workers via their person Sabinina in the
cadres job.
Cengiz family and Sungate Port Royal Hotel

 An article from July 2005 says The Sungate Port Royal was developed by the
politically connected oligarch family of Mehmet Cengiz . 13

 It is unclear how this report fits in with reports that Mirax Group bought the
property from Mehmet Nuri Geligbag in 2007 for an inflated price of 370
million Euros, mostly in cash, then sold the hotel back to the same man in 2010
for only 12.5 million Euros, a 95% loss.14

 As we recall, the hotel was administered by the Rixos hotel chain, and Sater
boasted about his work on it. (14Dec15Report)

The Panama Papers show Cengiz family’s Russia and China ties
 Note: The material from the Panama Papers cannot be used in a law enforcement
investigation because it is privileged attorney client material. Any evidence
deriving from it could be thrown out in court as “fruit ofthe poisonous tree.”
 According to Panama Papers documents cited in Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Mehmet
Cengiz and his brother Ekrem hold shares in MEC Metal Equipment Consultancy
Co. via Bonito International Inc. MEC paid over $3mln to a Vremax Properties
company in June 2008 for “market studies and analysis related to the metals,
mining and construction sectors in Russia and China.” 15
Possible Arif family relationship to the Cengiz clan?

I considered the possibility that Gulnara (Julia) Arif’s maiden name was Cengiz.
 This was worthy of consideration because her middle initial on some American
people-search databases was “C.” There is no letter “C” in the Cyrillic alphabet,
but there is one in the Turkish alphabet.

 However, Gulnara is not a widespread Turkish name16; it is more Central Asian.
 Searches for Gulnara Cengiz ("Гюльнара Дженгиз" "Дженгиз Гюльнара"
"Ченгиз Гюльнара" "Чингиз Гюльнара" "Гюльнара Ченгиз" "гульнара
ченгиз" "ченгиз гульнара")

 yielded only one Facebook page with no information on it17, plus one Gulnara
who had married an Ahmet Cengiz who apparently works for Turkish
construction company Enka Insaat in Moscow.
RJR Nabisco/ KKR / Apollo and Specialty Chemicals Inc.
Does Apollo own part of the Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory (AZHS),
which is associated with Tevfik Arif’s family?
 From 1996 the Aktyubinsk factory was reportedly owned or part-owned by a
Liechtenstein-based company called Specialty Chemicals Inc. or Special Chemical
Inc, according to Wikipedia18 and a Kazakh encyclopedia from 200419.
(According to another source, AZHS went public in 1995] 20

 In 1995 RJR Nabisco bought Borden Inc., “an overleveraged publicly traded
dairy and chemical conglomerate.”

 In 2002 Borden Inc. changed its name to Borden Chemical Inc.21
 “And on Tuesday [wrote a July 2004 report], a deal was announced to sell
Borden Chemical to Apollo Management for $649 million. Apollo, a private
equity firm, will also assume about $550 million in debt.”22

 Borden’s name was changed to Hexion Specialty Chemicals Inc. in 2005,
Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc. in 2010, and Hexion Inc. in 2015.23
If my hypothesis is correct that Tevfik Arif was a manager at AZHS in Soviet times,
and exerted influence during its privatization in 1995-6, then he was dealing with
RJR Nabisco,
 Recall that in 1995 LeBow won the right to buy 15% of RJR Nabisco,24
 Liggett’s 1996 decision to cooperate with federal officials in a massive tobacco
lawsuit was seen by other tobacco companies as a ploy to influence RJR Nabisco
shareholders to accept being purchased by Liggett.25 and

 in about 1997 “LeBow teamed up with corporate raider Carl Icahn to make a bid
for RJR Nabisco.”26

Tevfik Arif’s children headed this company in 2009-2011. As we saw in the
13Sept16 report, there are many companies with Kronos in their names.
 The previous report named several of those that could be related to the Arifs’
company.
 One more possible match is LLC Kronos, part of the LLC Gostinichnyy kompleks
Cosmos owned by Ablyazov.33
It looks as if Kronos Capital Holding in Ukraine IS related to UK-based Kronos
Capital Limited and that it existed before Ayla and Arif briefly headed it.
 2006 January 24: Oliver Ripley of Athena Group registers the website kronos-
capital.com. 34 (See 23July16Report for more on Ripley).
 2008 December 12: website kronos-capital.biz is created by Yaroslav Mykuliak of
LA-based inMotion Hosting, according to a whois record.35 Kronos-capital.biz
has been described variously as the website of Kronos Capital Ltd.36 Or of Kyiv-
based Kronos Capital Holdings, aka Kronos Capital (Ukraine).37
 As we saw in the 13Sept16 report, cached copies of kronos-capital-biz include
documents on development projects in Ukraine.
 2009 October 15: Ayla Arif and Arif Arif become directors of UK-based Kronos
Capital Limited [13Sept16report]. 3839
 A Kronos Capital Limited formerly existed in the Cayman Islands but had been
struck off the list in March 2009.40 Kronos Capital Gp Co. and Kronos Capital
Holdings Limited had also been voluntarily liquidated by their sole shareholder
at that time. The shareholder asked that the liquidator be Vladislav Antashkevich
of ul. Sverdlova 43-148, Moscow, but a company named Ogier was named
instead.41

AMC Castle Finance appears to be the asset management company of
UkrSibBank,46 which was associated with BNP Paribas.47
Yaroslav Yaroslavovich Mykuliak (Микуляк Ярослав Ярославович)
Social media:
A ymykuliak Facebook page contains no personal information, just some links to
favorite pages, including inMotion hosting and other Ukrainian-language sites.
Phone number: probably he was NOT affiliated with a massage parlor.

 The phone number appearing on a whois listing for kronos-capital.biz, 757-490-
0890, is in Virginia Beach.
 Since about 2010 that number has belonged to an Asian massage parlor.
 Another Internet service provider, U Little, appears with the same address and
phone number as the massage parlor in one entry on a page dated 2010. It is
unclear whether that page was up-to-date.

 Year-by-year Google searches for that number yielded nothing from 1995 to
2005 and one entry for In Motion Hosting in 2006. More recently InMotion
hosting has a different phone number. So it does not appear to have shared the
757-490-0890 phone number at the same time as the massage parlor.
Mykuliak worked for InvestUkraine, Kronos, Castle Finance, Bank Austria,

Raiffeisen, and Ladenburg Thalmann
 A Yaroslav Mykuliak was also Director of Research and Project Development for
the InvestUkraine Ukrainian state enterprise as of 2009, according to a
brochure on the kronos-capital.biz site.48

He is or was a Principal at Kronos Capital LLC, according to an undated pipl.com
profile.49 Before that his jobs were as follows:

Academy in 1997 and 2000, respectively, according to his Pipl profile. Indeed, a
Yaroslav Yaroslavovich Mykuliak appears in lists of graduates from there.51

 He had a smart son, also named Yaroslav Yaroslavovich, who competed in a 4th-
grade math Olympiad in Ukraine in 2015.52

 Mykuliak owns a tiny share of the Odessa Sugar Company, which was registered

Odessa Terminal Holdco Limited, in Nicosia.54
Castle Finance and InvestUkraine
One active entrepreneur in the restaurant business, Vadym Gruzyn, worked for
Castle Finance Asset Management from January 2006-April 2007 in Ukraine, then as
a project director at InvestUkraine in 2013. He had attended school in New York
City in the 1970s before returning to Kyiv in 1977; perhaps he was the child of
Soviet diplomats.55
50 http://www.bankaustria.at/en/about-us-bank-austria-the-bank-from-

Deripaska and to Madzhit Mamoyan, a Kurdish businessman in Moscow. By 2012
US officials had given up on getting help from him this was the conclusion reached
by author Barry Meier based on the fact that Birshteyn’s son-in-law was not allowed
into the US.
Birshteyn used to attend the National Prayer Breakfast, according to Missing Man.
He also opened meetings with with a prayer. This reference to
interdenominational spiritual activity brings up two associations:
 Sergei Millian’s associate, Spiritual Diplomacy head Mikhail Morgulis, lobbied
for Ukrainian Deputy Prosecutor Kuzmin to be invited to the National Prayer
Breakfast in 2013, but Kuzmin was refused a visa due to lobbying by groups
“that work for your [Ukrainian anti-Yanukovych] opposition parties and not
for free, as I understand.”81[22 April report]

o It is unclear whether Birshteyn’s familiarity with the Prayer Breakfast
had something to do with Kuzmin’s desire to attend, or whether
attendance at the Prayer Breakfast is a wellknown scheme for getting
visas,

From the 1 July report
Trump connection to soccer, hotels, Italy, Colombia, Monaco: Proto Group and
Doyen’s Erick Thohir
Agent Jorge Mendes’ prime protégé, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, supposedly
bought a hotel in Monaco in January 2016 for 140 million euros [that’s much less
than the cost ofRybolovlev’s apartment!] .

This was announced in January 2016 by the British real estate agency Proto Group,
in which Donald Trump is a shareholder along with 41 year old Italian real estate
magnate Alessandro Proto.

 The announcement said the Monaco mansion he bought was just a few steps
from Trump’s residence {Keyword searches fail to yield a Trump residence in
Monaco}
 Also it says Rinaldo had invested 37 million Euros in four hotels to which he
gave the same label as his clothing line, CR7 tied with the Portuguese
company Pestana. They were in New York, Madrid, Lisbon, and the Portuguese
town of Funchal.
 In August 2015 he had paid 16.5 million euros for a high class apartment in
Trump Tower, New York.
Elsewhere it was reported that Alessandro Proto had been the original owner of the
Trump Tower loft bought by Cristiano Ronaldo.”1
Ronaldo denied Proto Group’s claims

“Ronaldo strenuously denied that and other suggestions of buying a favela
in Brazil to give back to residents and a Monaco hotel.” His representative said
a court case had been lodged in Italy for misuse of his name.
“Proto hit back in a stinging statement released on Sunday night.” They said
they had lodged a slander case in Madrid.2
In March 2016 the Proto Group announced that Cristiano Rinaldo had donated the
apartment to his Moroccan friend, Badr Hari.3 They include photos

 Proto Group seems to be implying an intimate relationship between Cristiano Rinaldo
and Badr Hari.

 In March, after hearing that Rinaldo planned to sue them for alleged false
statements about his business dealings, a Proto representative said, “….Probably,
Cristiano is upset because we haven't reached a deal with him. Cristiano Ronaldo
is used to having the world at his feet, but we don't work that way. It will be fun
to see him in a proceeding that exposes many details, including those of his
private life."4
Alessandro Proto has a checkered past and makes often-questionable claims.

 Alessandro was arrested in Milan in 2013 and investigated by Italian courts for
suspected market rigging. He was considered a flight risk, as he has another
residence in Switzerland. 5
 He has also claimed to have bought a Greek island along with Warren Buffett,
which Buffett denies. 6

 Proto also claims to be the person who inspired the lead character in Fifty Shades
ofGrey..7
Another claim involving Proto, Trump, and Doyen’s Erick Thohir is also
controversial.
In February 2016, “Spanish papers claim Inter have offered Atletico Madrid Coach
Diego Simeone €20m per year thanks to Donald Trump. The quite remarkable and
frankly improbable story appeared in today’s edition of Sport.
 They suggest Inter President Erick Thohir has targeted Simeone as the ideal
tactician due to his past success as a player at the club….

 The Nerazzurri are struggling with the Financial Fair Play regulations, but
Sport insist there is a way around that. It’s because Thohir’s search for new

 [Note that one of the Football Leaks documents has terms of a contract
between Diego Simeone and Doyen Marketing.9]
 Recall that Indonesian media magnate Erick Thohir, who also owns Inter
Milan, is also a shareholder in Doyen Sports.10 11
Principal Sports – personal slush fund for Doyen’s Nelio Lucas

 Doyen Sports chief Nelio Lucas acts as “exclusive advisor for numerous markets,
particularly English ones,” for which an honorarium of 30.000 euros per month
is turned over to London based Principal Sports, solely owned by Nelio Lucas.”12
 “Principal Sport Management Ltd, a London based agency, works exclusively for
Doyen Sports as an advisor, mainly for the English market,” says the Doyen
website.

 Football Leaks started in September 2015, aiming to uncover corruption in
Portuguese soccer, according to a February 2016 email interview with a German
soccer publication.15
 They are especially interested in third party ownership funds.
 “We don’t want to accuse anyone without enough evidence, but, for example,
Doyen’s structure seems prone to money laundering. ”

 Asked to comment on the fact that their leaks violate bank secrecy, the
representative responds, “As everybody can see Doyen is a clear offshore
structure using trustees to hide the ultimate beneficial owners. Publishing
Bank Statements is just another way to help FIFA in their compliance activities
and the Malta Financial Services Authority in their investigation against Doyen’s
irregular activities.”
 They say they did not obtain the material through hacking. Evidence of this is
that Doyen filed a complaint alleging hacking in October 2015, but FootballLeaks
continues to have new information from after that time.

o “We have a variety of sources who supply us with the contracts and
agreements,” explained “John” in 9 February interview.16

 They claim they are not acting on behalf of a rival team.
 “we were happy to hear that FIFA TMS General Manager Mark Goddard checks
our website, and uses the information for their compliance activities.”
 Sporting Lisbon and Doyen did try to stop their revelations.
 “Rogério Bravo, a Portuguese Police Chief Inspector is a very good friend of Nélio
Lucas (Doyen’s CEO) and he was pressuring the Attorney General's Office to
share all the details about the investigation. In fact Doyen is only using the police
investigation to get to us, and they hired a private intelligence agency (Marclay
Associates) to do the dirty job…..

o “they are on the field searching everywhere as they want to stop this at
any cause. The Big Bosses in Turkey and Kazakhstan are really angry, and
they want to silence us as fast as possible…”

o “The bosses of the Doyen Group [are] the Arif family, one of the richest
families in Turkey, with ties to Donald Trump and the Turkish President.”
o Someone calling himself Artem Lobuzov emailed FootballLeaks asking
them to sell the information. They refused.

o Later, the Daily Mirror reported that an Artem Lobuzov [or Louzov]
had contacted Doyen’s Nelio Lucas, pressuring him to pay in order
for the information not to be released. The FootballLeaks
representative denies being behind this: “don’t you think that is
strange that only Doyen Sports claims they were victims of
blackmailing?! That all sounds like a really desperate attempt to
discredit Football Leaks.”

 Even their Russian server was not a refuge. “Our Russian provider closed our
cloud and then showed us documents from this company, which had massively
pressured them to do it.”

 In April 2016, FootballLeaks wrote that they were suspending their activity, and
the reasons would become obvious in a May Der Spiegel article.

 The FootballLeaks website currently gives an email address @yandex.ru
Agent Jorge Mendes hired an industrial and technological espionage firm, who are
working “day and night” to find and cut off the source of leaked documents,
according to a report from February 2016.17
Mendes was expanding in China. Guo Guangchang, owner of the Fosun funds,
invested in Gestifute through a subsidiary, Foyo, according to January 2016
reports.
 The 18 January ceremony in Shanghai was attended by Mendes’ top
players, Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Rinaldo.

 This connection between the Fosun fund and soccer teams raised
possibilities for other business links; Chinese telecoms giant Huawei (who
already sponsors Milan) and e-commerce company Alibaba could make
deals with other European companies through their tie with Fosun.18 19
 This look eastward makes sense for Mendes, as he was under pressure in
Europe.
 Fosun’s interests range “from real estate to the steel industry, from
commerce to insurance.”
 One problem: Guo Guangchang disappeared for a time in January as part of
anti-corruption investigations.
The turn toward China resembled that of Sergey Millian, who increasingly in
recent months has advocated three-way Russia-US-China trade.

English-language Summary of Doyen’s structure and modus operandi, based on
6 months of FootballLeaks. 20
A Netherlands based sports law blogger wrote in April 2016, “Thanks to
footballleaks, we now know how Doyen operates, we have a precise idea of its
turnover, its return on investments and the pool of clubs with which it signed a TPO
agreement. Moreover, we have a good understanding of the contractual structure
used by Doyen in those deals. This blog will offer a brief synthesis and analysis of
this data.” [Much is based on FootballLeaks’ “Map of Deals”21]
I. Doyen’s “geoeconomics”
A. The Iberian base
B. Doyen’s internationalization (Netherlands-based FC Twente; Latin America; little-

known Belgian club Seraing United possibly as “as a legal Trojan horse to support
Doyen’s legal challenge against FIFA’s TPO ban in front of Belgian courts.”
II. Doyen’s Contractual System

A. Doyen’s guarantee: the Put Option or Free Agency Fee
B. The ‘Reasonable Transfer Offer’ and Doyen’s influence on the transfer policy of
clubs
C. Doyen’s double game as an agent
Conclusion: “Doyen’s business model is smart and has to be acknowledged as a
cynical embrace of the intrinsic logic of FIFA’s transfer system…. Doyen’s head, Nelio
Lucas, is no criminal. There is no indication that he engages in match fixing or
money laundering. He is a dead set investor hunting for the grail: secure financial
returns on investments….. This does not imply that this business model should go
on, however…..

Soccer/spying connection?
Speaking of spy couples: In the above mentioned German court case against the
Russian spies posing as Latin American born Heidrun and Andreas Anschlag, their
Moscow handler used a name associated with Tevfik Arif’s associates at Doyen
Sports:
“On the video platform YouTube they write comments with hidden messages
after movies. The Anschlags' user name: "Alpenkuh1." Moscow replies as

"Cristianofootballer."”22
This must have referred to Cristiano Rinaldo.

An Orhan Arifov was related to Tevfik Arif in his various towns on Long Island,
according to people search databases. This person’s age is given variously as 49 or
59, meaning he would have been born in 1957 or 1967. Ifone ofthese dates is
correct, he would be more likely a brother or cousin than a son.

 One Orhan Arifov in New York is 21 years old, bor (b)(6) .23 He
appears to be the same person who says he lives in the Bronx. Both have ties
to Bitola, Macedonia. 2425
Refik Arif/ Rafik Murtazayevich Arifov
A Rafik Murtazayevich Arifov is listed in undated databases as living in the village of
Novovoskresenovka, Dzhambyl oblast, Kazakhstan. He was bor (b)(6)
, according to the visible search results for the entry.26 (It appears on several
random looking websites like oxran.site, and the actual file is zipped. I did not risk
unzipping it)
This is the same birth month as the Refik Arif of Doyen and the Refik Arif who heads
real estate companies in France.

It is quite possible these are all the same person.
 Novovoskresenovka is not just any village. It is on the border between
Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

 Smuggling has been rampant across this border for years, as Kazakhstan has
been a member of the Customs Union with Russia, while Kyrgyzstan has been
a member of the World Trade Organization and neighbors China.27
 In one recent case police caught a man smuggling three kilograms of heroin
across the border in this area.28

 The village’s name changed in 2006 to Andas batyr,29 so the directory entry
for Arifov must predate 2006.

It is unclear whether this is the same person who lived i (b)(6)
, te (b)(6) , in another undated directory. He appears to live there alone.
Russian connection: Panama Papers

Note: The material from the Panama Papers cannot be used in a law enforcement
investigation because it is privileged attorney client material. Any evidence deriving
from it could be thrown out in court as “fruit ofthe poisonous tree.”

 The Refik Arif of Doyen appears in the Panama Papers as a shareholder of BVI
registered Merlin Trading Assets Ltd, founded 2 Jan 2009.30

 His address is listed a (b)(6)
.
 Also registered at that address is another person listed in the Panama Papers:
Michael Andrew Gray in Cyprus. He is affiliated with Durango Estates
Limited.31
 Durango Estates, whose country is listed as Russian Federation, has the address
“ATM CONSULTANTS (CYPRUS) LTD. OFFICE 3, 17 BOLSHAYA BRONNAYA STR.
123104 MOSCOW RUSSIA.” Its jurisdiction is listed as BVI. Its intermediary,
ATM Alliance Limited, is an intermediary for twelve companies.32

 Another shareholder of Durango Estates Limited is Tony Kyprianu.33 He is
registered at the address Ghazi Hammoud Building; Australia Street; Raouche;
Beirut; Lebanon.34
A search for Merlin Trading yielded a real estate company in Bulgaria. Unclear
whether this is the same company as Arif’s.

 Address: СОФИЯ, Улица: Н. РИЛСКИ 57.35
 Maya Misheva Ivanova is its Manager, Shares Transfer, and Sole Capital
Owner in the period Jan 2008 March 2016.36

 A court document from 2007 gives its office address as София, район
“Лозенец”, ул. Славище 1, ет. 1, ап. 2 and says it does business in a broad
range of fields, including real estate.37
Seventeen Years for Soviet Trade Ministry?

Tevfik Arif’s official biographies say he worked seventeen years for the hotels
administration of the Soviet Ministry of Trade and Commerce, or the Foreign Trade
Ministry. Sometimes it says he was an economist for this body.
 If he moved to Kazakhstan in about 1995, and set up in the US in 1999, then if he
actually worked for that ministry he probably did so starting between 1978 and
1982.
 I looked up online information about the structure of the Soviet trade ministries
a that time, and also about the Uzbek, Kazakh and Kirgiz Soviet Republicss

subsidiary of that ministry. (Since his apparent brother lived on the border of
the Kazakh and Kyrgyz republics, Tofik might have served in the latter)
 The patents we have seen for chromium based leatherworking processes
actually make sense if he were an economist in the trade ministry. In those
patents, applied for in the late 1990s, he is listed as coming from Kazakhstan.
 Hotel management in Soviet days was under four agencies: The State Committee
for Foreign Tourism (GosKomInTurist); the Central Trade Union Council
[presumably for workers’ sanatoria]; municipal services; and youth
organizations.38
 Responsibility for the Uzbek SSR’s tourism industry was scattered among
tourism and sports organizations; state agencies that had their own rest homes
and resorts; the Communist Party, Komsomol and trade unions; and collective
farms, and it generally received low priority from officials.39

 A website on the history of the central Soviet Ministry of Trade gives no mention
of hotels or the hospitality industry. 40

 If he worked for the Uzbek SSR Trade Ministry, he might have been hired by
Mirabror Usmanov, who became one of Uzbekistan’s richest people and the
President of the Uzbek National Olympic Committee in 2013.41 He may know
Uzbek crime boss Gafur Rakhimov, who helped raise money for the 2014 Sochi
Olympics.
 Possibly he worked for the Ministry of Foreign Trade. If so, he would have been
hired by Nikolay Semenovich Patolichev, who served them from 1958 to 1985.
Patolichev served as a Supreme Soviet deputy from Tashkent, although he did
not originate in Uzbekistan.42 He may have gotten to know Arifov there.

 If he worked for the central USSR Ministry of Trade, he was probably hired by
Aleksandr Ivanovich Struyev, who held the post from 1965 to 1983. Struyev was
born in 1906 and served in WWII in the Donbass, Ukrainian SSR.43

Tevfik Arif’s first building project: Labada hotel

Official bios say this was his first project.
 Also known as the Asdem Beach Labada, Rixos Labada, Barut Labada, and
Asdem Labada.
 Located in the town of Kemer in the Camyuva region of Turkey.
 Built in 1999, though several sources say it was opened only in 2006.
 It has Russian speaking personnel.44
This suggests that Arif worked for Rixos since the mid 1990s, if it took several years
after first being initiated.
Cengiz/ Tchenguiz family, Rixos, FL Group, and Ivanka Trump
An article from July 2005 says The Sungate Port Royal was developed by the
politically connected oligarch family of Mehmet Cengiz. The family is in the
aluminum business as well as construction. The hotel aimed for the domestic AND
RUSSIAN market. It employed Russian speaking Kyrgyzstani and Tatar women at
the reception desk.45
 It is unclear how this report fits in with reports that Mirax Group bought the
property from Mehmet Nuri Geligbag in 2007 for an inflated price of 370
million Euros, mostly in cash, then sold the hotel back to the same man in
2010 for only 12.5 million Euros, a 95% loss.46
I considered whether the Mehmet Cengiz family is related to the Iranian born, UK
based Iraqi Jewish securities dealers, Robert and Vincent Tchenguiz (original name
Khadouri) who had borrowed heavily from the Kaupthing and Landsbanki banks in
Iceland.

 They were arrested in 2011 after Kaupthing’s collapse but not Indicted. 47
 Their sister, Lisa Tchenguiz, had gone into the restaurant business with Ivana
Trump by 2006. 48
 It seems unlikely that they are related to the Mehmet Cengiz family.
The Panama Papers show Cengiz family’s Russia and China ties
Note: The material from the Panama Papers cannot be used in a law enforcement
investigation because it is privileged attorney client material. Any evidence deriving
from it could be thrown out in court as “fruit ofthe poisonous tree.”
According to Sueddeutsche Zeitung,
“The Panama Papers show that Mehmet Cengiz and his brother Ekrem hold power
of attorney for a company named Bonito International Inc., which is registered on
Niue Island in the South Pacific.

 “Via this company, the brothers hold shares in MEC Metal Equipment
Consultancy Co., a company registered in Great Britain. Until now, MEC was a
complete mystery it wasn’t clear which purpose it served, or what type of
business it did.
 “A document found in the Panama Papers contains an MEC Metal Equipment &
Consultancy Co. contract for, among other things, “market studies and analysis
related to the metals, mining and construction sectors in Russia and China.” The
contract partner is “Vremax Properties Limited”, another unknown company
registered in the British Virgin Islands.

 “The two page contract barely includes any mention of actual consulting
services, but lists a payment of USD 3.07 million. The transaction was apparently
made at the end of June 2008, when the money was wired to a Vremax
Properties account at a private bank in Switzerland. Whether or not consulting
services were provided remains unclear.

 “However, the set up could be a means of using a company to divert public funds
into one’s own pockets. In Turkey, it is said that no one has been awarded as
many public contracts in the past 14 years as Mehmet Cengiz.”49

Monaco/Rybolovlev update: Basketball team owner Sergey Vladimirovich
Dyadechko and his boss, Monaco exile Yuriy Ivanyushchenko

 As we saw in the 24 June report, “De Bruyn provided entrée to the Prince for
another former Soviet businessman, Sergey Dyadechko, to head AS Monaco’s
basketball team. Former owner of a basketball team in Donetsk, President
Yanukovych’s hometown, Dyadechko fled Ukraine in 2012 after an apparent
assassination attempt, following years of scandal involving the disappearance of
funds from his Rodovid bank and the mysterious deaths of key witnesses.50
Correction: it is spelled Rodovid (Russian spelling Rodovod), not Rodovik
In July a Ukrainian crime periodical wrote, “Sergey Dyadechko Saved Oligarch
Ivanyushchenko’s Bank from Liquidation,” referring to Yanukovych friend and
reputed crime figure Yuriy Ivanyushchenko (Yura Yenakiyevskiy). 51

 Dyadechko, who nominally owns the Soyuz bank since Ivanyushchenko fled in
June 2014, convinced a court to reject the National Bank’s second decision to
liquidate Soyuz. An appeal by the National Bank is still outstanding.

 Soyuz bank has been in the SBU’s sights as well for financing terrorism. The
pharmaceuticals company Niko, owned by Sergey’s mother, Tamara Ivanovna
Dyadechko, moved its offices to Kyiv after the separatist takeover of its
Makeyevka headquarters but it continues to produce in Makeyevka and to pay
taxes to the separatist authorities. Some of its products make their way through
the Line of Demarcation and are sold in Ukraine proper.

 Dyadechko controlled about 77% of Rodovid bank through Capital Group LLC
(ООО «РБ «Капитал Груп») until it was nationalized in summer 2009. He and
others pumped some 32 million hryven out of Rodovik into Soyuz. Yuriy
Savitskiy, General Director of Rodovid Asset Management, helped.

 Dyadechko also helped finance the Antimaidan movement and the Berkut police
who beat Maidan protestors, according to law enforcement sources. He also has
reportedly helped finance the Donbass separatists.

 Soyuz bank also was a key link in a chain money laundering banks that included
Donetsk based Konversbank, which owned by Ivanyushchenko partner Reinis
Tumovs [Рэйнис Тумовс], who was joined in 2011 by Russian oligarch Vladimir
Antonov. After Antonov’s arrest in London, Tumovs changed the name to
CityCommerce Bank (Городской коммерческий банк) and transferred funds to
ProFin Bank.
 Ivanyushchenko and his ally Dyadechko have fought hard to prevent Soyuz’
bank’s closure partly because Ivanyushchenko hopes to return to Ukraine
someday. He has allies in the Ukrainian government who lobby for him, so court
cases against him keep falling apart. As a result he is free to visit his family in
Monaco and use his assets throughout Europe.

 Dyadechko, Ivanyushchenko and Ivan Abramov are also linked to the
GlobalMoney payments system, the only one that received an SBU license during
Yanukovych’s administration. A former finance minister under Yanukovych also
also controlled a share in the bank.52

 Ivan Avramov has been called Ivanyushchenko’s criminal “overseer” for the
Odessa region. Ivanyushchenko continues to profit from the Seventh Continent
market near Odessa.53

 Dyadechko, described as a “key specialist in money laundering” is a director of
Adan Trade Limited, 122 126 Tooley St, London, a modest company whose other
director also serves as the front person masking Ivanyushchenko’s control over
Seventh Continent.54
 Dyadechko’s and Soyuz bank’s success in resisting liquidation could weaken the
National Bank’s authority and undermine Ukraine’s entire financial system.
Indeed, it is a weapon that former Yanukovych people could use in seizing back
power from the Maidan forces, warn the Ukrainian crime periodical editors.
 They say an important step in breaking the power of the Yanukovych family’s
remaining financial tentacles is the recent arrest of former first deptuy Tax
Service chair Andrey Golovach. He has information about that corrupt former
system and about money laundering banks like Soyuz. 55

From “Trump Hollywood Residents 1 September 2016”

The Dzhabrailov brothers have several links with Tevfik Arif of Bayrock.
 We have seen that Umar is a friend of Telman Ismailov, who apparently
intervened on Arif’s behalf after the Turkish yacht orgy of 2010 and has attended
other Arif events (27May16report)

 Huseyn Dzhabrailov also attended a school of leather and fur working in the
1970s and worked in that industry in the Udmurt region of the RSFSR in 1979,
according to his official biographies. Working in that industry, he may have
encountered Tofik Murtazayevich Arifov, who published patents related to
leather working and whom we have shown is almost certainly our Tevfik Arif.
Another possible link with Tevfik Arif is that Eli Dzhabrailov sold his Trump
Hollywood unit to Carina Investments LLC.

 This company shares a name with a network of stores run by a Siberian
company called RIF Invest. 56 That company’s name, in turn, resembles the RIF
International owned by Tevfik Arif.

 Carina Investments LLC opened in 2013 57 and runs out of the home of its
manager, Frederico Bomeny, whose address variously appears a (b)(6)
or a (b)(6) , in a residential
neighborhood (b)(6) .58 A company by that name also exists at 7593
Turnberry Lane in Stanley, NC.59 Bomeny also founded the Cygnus Investment
Group LLC in 2013 60 and Libra LLC in 2014.61

 Its director could be the same Frederico Figueiredo Bomeny who was sanctioned
in Brazil apparently for hindering the investigation of irregularities in a real
estate deal. 62Another person named in that case was a Gilberto Bomeny, and the

From the September 2 Report
Bayrock sources of funding, continued

I continued to seek roundabout ways to understand Bayrock’s sources of funding,
including attempts to find the alleged Arif family empire of assets in chrome, energy
and other sectors that was alleged in reporting about Doyen Sports.
I have found additional evidence that Tofik and his brothers share the patronymic
Murtazayevich. That and the coincidence of birthdates has allowed me to match
Refik and Vakif Arif who own hotels, French real estate and Doyen Sports with
people who also have had addresses in Moscow and in a smuggling town on the
Kazakh Kyrgyz border.
This in turn continues to chip away at the question into whether Tofik indeed was
born in Kazakhstan, as he claims on his official bios, or whether he started life as a
boss of an Uzbek crime group, as some reports claim.
The reality may be totally unexpected. I have uncovered hints of Tofik’s involvement
with military and law enforcement research institutes
Tofik Arifov’s Patents: Link with Military and Law Enforcement Research?
The preceding evidence seems to confirm that Tevfik Arif is the same person as
Tofik Murtazayevich Arifov, who took out several patents for chromium based
leather processing.65 (One spells his name Tfik) 66

Having one’s name on a patent in Russia does not necessarily mean that one is a
research scientist oneself. Heads of laboratories or institutes sometimes are
included on patents as a badge of honor. Tofik Arifov may have had either a
research or an administrative position.
Exploring his fellow patent holders and the circumstances of the patents, we find
connections with the world of military and law enforcement research institutes,
as well as the names of other chrome-related companies that might have
provided funding for Bayrock.
Patent holder Karapet Mkhitarovich Zurabyan appears to have been born in
1925 67, and Makarov Zemlyanskiy (below) has been publishing since the 1950s. One
would expect them to be long retired. Both, however, appear as advisors on a 2005
dissertation.68
Fellow patent holder Ya.Ya. Makarov Zemlyanskiy was an eminent scholar at the
the Moscow State Institute of Design and Technologies.

 This institute used to be called the Moscow Technological Institute of Light
Industry.69
 Chemists from that institute designed filters for gas masks.70
 Another name on one of Arifov’s chromium patents, Galina Fedorovna Yesina, is
a professor at the same university. 71

 Makarov Zemlyanskiy has been publishing since the 1950s72
 He and Zurabyan were apparently affiliated with the All Union Extramural
Institute of Textile and Light Industry when they applied for a patent in 1984. 73
Another fellow patent holder, Nina Anatolyevna Okhotnikova, worked at one time
for an institution described as “Post Office Box А 7125” (ПРЕДПРИЯТИЕ ПЯ А

7125) as of 1981.74

 PO Boxes were euphemisms for secret military or national security installations.

 That POB number also appeared on patents together with other POBs and with
institutions like the Novotroitskiy Chrome Factory.75
As of 2000 and in 2014 the same Okhotnikova worked for Gibraltar registered
Chromachem International (КРОМАКЕМ (ИНТЕРНЕШНЛ) ЛИМИТЕД (GI)) 76 and
for Valmore Commercial.

 She represented these companies at a general meeting of the Aktyubinsk
Factory of Chrome Compounds, in which those companies are major
shareholders.77 Also representing those two companies at the meeting was
Yelena Vladimirovna Sabinina.

 Keyword searches for ChromaChem International Ltd., "хромахим" казахстан
and Кромакем, yielded little information.78
The following information was added after August 30

 The four major stockholders of the Aktyubinsk Factory of Chrome Compounds
ChromaChem, Valmore Commercial, Archem, and Capella Invest may be owned
by the same unnamed beneficial owner. They all registered in Belgium in 1996
or 1997. Valmore and Chromachem have or had the address Avenue Louise
209A
1050 Ixelles (Elsene). Since 1 October 2014 the representative and manager of
Valmore and Chromachem is Joannes Raphael Maria Van de Kimmenade
(b)(6) ). According to an undated list of people affiliated with the
Aktyubinsk factory, these four shareholders are represented by International
Business Company in Brussels.798081

Yet another fellow patent holder, Anatoliy Mikhaylovich Karas, currently heads
marketing for Kulebaki metallurgy factory in the Nizhniy Novgorod region, along
the Volga.82
 He may also be the Anatoliy Karas who has made documentary films about the
heroic Donbass miners whose strike helped hasten the end of the Soviet Union.83
That which was hidden comes to light? The fact that numerous patents were all
applied for on the same day, 19 October 1998, and that some of their authors must
be long retired by now suggests that the actual inventions were made long ago at
the secret installations but could not be publicized at the time, and the authors were
only now claiming credit for them.
The Arif Brothers and Ravana
According to a 2015 report in Cahiers du Football, largely based on Football Leaks,

The Arif brothers who own Doyen Sports also own a holding, Ravana, based in
Curaçao, comprising chrome, coal, petrol companies, as well as financial advice and
investment.84
 FootballLeaks provides links to documents purporting to show Doyen’s
ownership. 85
 Doyen Sports and Doyen Marketing Original Structure

a fortune of several millions of euros, and is a shareholder in various offshores in
the British Virgin Islands.”

 The documents are hosted on Kim Dotcom’s New Zealand based Megaupload
file sharing service.

 An attempt to open the document from Firefox failed. Apparently the add ons I
use for security blocked access.

 I was hesitant to try using a less secure browser, such as Chrome or Internet
Explorer, especially because of the Kim Dotcom connection and because

FootballLeaks reportedly used a Russian server.
 If someone else feels confident trying to open the documents using another
browser, such as Chrome or Internet Explorer, I would be curious to see what
they find.
I did, however, find some information about the Arifs who own Ravana. Assuming
Rousseau is correct that the Arifs of Doyen and Ravana are the same, however, this
completes the connection between Doyen and the people who are shown to have
addresses in Moscow and in a smuggling town on the Kazakh Kyrgyz border.
A corporate document from Curacao describes a Ravana Private Foundation

established in 2004. 86 It does not provide all the information about coal and
chrome holdings etc that Cahiers du football promised, but it does provide some
information on the Arifs.

 Its directors and official address, Schottegatweg Oost 10 Unit A1K, seem to be
typical offshore corporate services providers.

 Its founding document says it is “To make distributions out of its assets to such
institutions and persons as the Founder may determine and to provide financial
assistance to such institutions and persons by means of loans, granting
securities, annuity contracts and the like.” As a foundation, it may not “make
profits by….carrying on an enterprise.”

 Its “Supervisory Directors” are:
 Rekif Arif [sic], bor (b)(6) in “Cambul” Kazakhstan, nationality
Turkish.
 Vakif Arif, bor (b)(6) . “Place of birth: Kazakstan. Country of birth:
Turkey. Nationality. Kazakhstan.”

Both men’s birthdates link them to people we saw in the undated Moscow and
Almaty directories.87
 Refik’s birthplace, whose Turkish spelling is Cambul, could also be transliterated
Zhambyl or Dzhambyl. This ties in with the search result placing him in
Novovoskresenovka, on the Kazakh Kyrgyz border. That town is in the Zhambyl
region.
 Vakif gives a confusing mix of Turkey and Kazakhstan as the place of his origin.
He may have meant that he was ethnically a Meskhetian Turk and was from
Kazakhstan.
 If it is true that both these men are Tevfik’s brothers, one older and one younger,
and if both were born in Kazakhstan, then logically Tevfik may also have been
telling the truth that he was born in Kazakhstan.

 Alternatively, they all had reason to lie…
The brothers and Rixos Hotel Labada in Kemer
Vakif and Refik’s tourism company, BİLGE TURİZM TİCARET A.Ş. (WISE TOURISM
TRADE INC ), founded 29 Feb 2000, gave an address at the Solymos Hotel in the
town of Camyuva, in the Kemer region of Turkey where Arif’s first hotel, the
Labada, was. As we saw in an earlier report, the email address seemed to show a
link with Rixo (b)(6) . Phone (242)824 57 17 or (242)824 58 00

Fax 2428245811 88
Indeed, one of the phone numbers for the company, (242)824 58 00, is the same as
that of the Labada Hotel aka Asdem Beach Labada aka Barut Hotels Labada aka
Rixos Otel Labada. Barut Hotels took it over in 2013. 89, which is now under new
ownership, Barut. The company still appeals to Russians and Ukrainians.90
“Bayrok” company at police research institute
We expanded on our earlier research on whether Arif’s Bayrock company could be
related to the Turkish oligarch families Bayrak or Albayrak. We looked at various
spellings of this word.

 We found numerous entities with those names, ranging from villages in Ukraine
and Uzbekistan; an agricultural holding and a realtor in Russia’s Bashkortostan

region; companies in the Tatarstan region that do construction, pharmaceuticals,
and general wholesale trading; Bayrak Studio in Moscow, whose business
included filmmaking, software programming, construction, and everything
else; 91 and one that opened in Sevastopol, Crimea after the Russian takeover and
engages in dozens of seemingly unrelated business fields.92

 This large number of Bayrak entities not surprising, considering that it is a
common last name and the word also appears in the names of many Soviet
entities named “Red Banner”

 One Bayrak might be worth pursuing: Nikolay Bayrak, director of Zelenovskoye
stil LLC in Ukraine, is reportedly in the mining and metals industry.93 He also
has an online shop, Bayrok LLC, selling metal household goods such as kitchen
knives and rice cookers,94 as well as a gadget for testing metal welds.9596
 Given this abundance of Bayraks, no others stood out as possible associates of
Arif’s Bayrock Group.

 However, I continued to toy with this idea, partly because one of the Bayrak
family members in Turkey is a son in law of Recep Erdogan and Tevfik Arif may
have wanted to butter him up by giving his company that name.

 I tried variant spellings: Beyrok, Bayrok etc.
Bayrok: police research institute:
Searches for variant spellings resulted in at least one striking find: companies
named “Bayrok,” a name that is more distinctive and sounds more like Bayrock.
 “Bayrok” is the Uzbek spelling for the shared Turkic word for “flag” or “banner.”
 Substituting the letter “o” for the letter “a” is characteristic of Uzbek spellings as
compared with other Turkic languages.

 If Tevfik Arif named his company “Bayrock” in honor of the Turkic word for
“flag,” he was choosing the Uzbek spelling.

 Does this indicate he might have grown up in Uzbekistan???
One company named Bayrok is located at a police research institute outside
Moscow.
91The Moscow one was owned by Travis LLC.

related companies?
Several companies have “RIF International” in their names.
One is a wholesaler in Kyiv that was formed in 1995 and was initially collectively
owned but is privately owned since 2004..2

This may be one that went bankrupt in 19983; if so, it must have come back from
bankruptcy.
One company with that name has to do with drilling and thus possibly with the Arif
family’s energy interests.

 The fact that some of these names contain “o” instead of “a” indicates that he is
probably an ethnic Uzbek. He probably comes from the southern part of

An expert on Soviet criminal law brought to Miami by a relative of Seydazimov,
testified on his behalf in court. Karpek Kurmanov writes in his memoirs:

 Kurmanov explained to the court that Seydazimov thought his previous
conviction had been totally wiped away because that is how the law works in
former Soviet countries.

 (Kurmanov fudges dates somewhat).
 Kurmanov says the initial charges against Seydazimov that he had helped
assassinate Kirgiz SSR Council of Ministers chief Sultan Ibraimov had been
trumped up politically. He says that after the real killer was found, drugs were
planted in Seydazimov’s cell and he was given an eight year sentence.23

o In my extensive reading of more recent former Soviet criminal cases,
when drugs or weapons are planted on someone, the minimum amount
necessary is planted. It is unclear whether old Soviet practices are the
same.
o Also the original charges seem too specific to be simply invented:
obtaining gold nuggets and sable skins and trading them,; illegally
possessing and storing firearms; and acquiring and using narcotics,
including Omnopon, which is not even clearly a drug. 24

 Kurmanov also claims that after 9/11, US authorities were paying special
attention to people of Asian background. At that time an “anonymous
communication along Interpol lines” was circulated saying Seydazimov had
hidden his past conviction. The “anonimka” turned out to have been written by a
Kyrgyz police official.

o A similar situation affects Alisher Usmanov and others who were arrested
in Soviet times. They claim their arrests were politically motivated. When
they have friendly incumbents in post Soviet positions, those friends
declare the previous convictions invalid. It is hard to discern the truth.

 Intriguingly, a snippet of the book version of Kurmanov’s memoir appearing in
Google search results identifies Azim as a former resident of Kazakhstan,
25 whereas the online version describes him as “our former countryman.”
Perhaps Kurmanov is from Kazakhstan. In any case, Azim may have lived for a
time in Kazakhstan and either retained an earlier Kyrgyz passport or obtained a
fake Kyrgyz passport (that country is very loose with its passports).

Azim and Joorabchian and Brazilian soccer players?
My impression from the Portuguese article was that Azim was not necessarily
involved in the buying of Brazilian athletes, but rather in the move to buy
Kommersant. Azim seems to have broken from Joorabchian by the time the Brazil
stuff was going on.

 However, Doyen Sports and by extension Arif may still be involved with
Jurabchian’s activities. My earlier report talked about Doyen’s close relationship
with Abramovich. And Doyen’s rep in Brazil is the guy who works with
Jurabchian.
Joorabchian is still doing deals with Abramovich’s Chelsea, making some observers
dubious:. “Chelsea doing business with Kia Joorabchian when FIFA investigation is

Tevfik Arif
Arifov’s first hotel: laundering Akhmetov/Gumenyuk money?

A Turkish journalist wrote in August 2005 that Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov
and his close ally Igor Gumenyuk {Ihor Humenyuk], appear to have provided
funds for Tamince and Arif's Rixos hotels, jewelry business etc. in the 1990s.28
 (Akhmetov and Gumenyuk were powerful oligarchs of the “Donbass group”
from which Viktor Yanukovych emerged. See 14Dec15Report).

 It was apparently Igor who introduced Arif to Tamince.
 The journalist calls Arif a businessman of Turkish descent from Kazakhstan.
 He says Arif had business in Russia involving chromic oxide, was very rich,
and was living in America.

 He appears to say Arif was investigated for either smuggling or
contamination of fuel in Turkey but was later acquitted.

 Arif met Tamince in Gilan.
Apparently the journalist suspects Arif and/or Gumenyuk are connected with the
suspicious growth in Tamince’s jewelry business in Gilan.

 This journalist worked for the publication Vatan, which at that time
apparently belonged to the Dogan family, who would soon team with Trump
to build a tower in Istanbul.29
“Who cofounded the Rixos chain is not a secret to anybody,” wrote a user
nicknamed “Kyrgyz Daughter” in 2010 on an Azerbaijani discussion forum.

 She also said “a businessman with both Kazakh and Turkish citizenship” was
present at the creation of the Rixos hotel.

 The forum admin replied that he had not in fact known who cofounded Rixos,
until he learned from Google that “The owner is Rinat Akhmetov, but whom are
you referring to as the co owner?”

 More likely Kyrgyz Daughter had Tevfik Arif in mind as the Kazakh/Turkish
founder and Akhmetov as the cofounder.

 We have also seen a report saying Rixos belonged to “Russian, a Kazakh, a
Ukrainian, and a Turk,” with Tamince being the Turk (see 14Dec15report). 30
In a September 2005 interview with the same journalist who speculated on
Akhmetov’s funding of Rixos (above), Fettah Tamince appeared to say that Bilge
Tourism [which Google Translate sometimes renders as "Wise Tourism"] actually
owned the Labada Hotel.31 As we have seen, Tevfik Arif’s brothers own Bilge.

 Tamince said he had a 25/75 profit sharing arrangement with “Mr. Arif.” [He
uses the Turkish phrase “ArifBey.” Note that in common polite Turkish usage,
people use a person’s first name and the word “Bey” (Mister), but here Tamince
refers to “Mr. Arif,” not “Mr. Tevfik,” which suggests that he has a deferential
relationship to Tevfik Arif].

 He seems to say that before Bilge Turizm got involved, the Labada Hotel was
being developed by the Şirin family, with Turkish businessman Aytekin
Gültekin as architect. Later Aytekin Gültekin was a co owner of Tamince’s
Sembol Insaat construction company. Elsewhere the man’s name is incorrectly
spelled Güldemir, and he is identified as a member of the Antalya Provincial
Assembly from Recep Erdogan’s AKP party. 32

 Bilge Tourism Trading Inc. (BİLGE TURİZM TİCARET A.Ş) appears in a Turkish
business directory entry as owned by Refik and Vakif Arif [see “The Brothers 5
August 2016” report]. According to that entry, it was founded 29 Feb 2000.
 [Note that this Bilge was founded just days after Chernoy sold out his
aluminum assets to Abramovich. Could he have used some ofhis money from
the sale to invest in Bilge?]

 Tamince says that even though the Labada was called a Rixos hotel, Bilge
actually handled all the business; Rixos just provided the name.
 Tamince claims the Labada hotel cost $3mln, but the journalist said he heard
reports saying Tamince paid Arif $8 million.

 This suggests possible money laundering
 Full disclosure: there is a company called Bilge Turizm which is run by the Bilge
family. It appears to be distinct from the Arifbrothers’ Bilge Tourism Trading Inc. 33
In any case, in this interview Tamince is clearly referring to the Arifbrothers’
company.
Tamince and Arif also cooperated in the jewelry business: Sardis (Sardes) and
Alieu and possibly Lidyo. They apparently brought in $10mln worth of jewelry but
did not sell it for its full price.

 Asked about a certain MD who worked for a year in the Sardis company and was
investigated for some kind of contraband, Tamince says he thinks MD was
acquitted.
 Searches for “Frank Muller” MD reveal that there is an exclusive watch band made
by Franck Muller. One ofthese was auctioned offto raise money for Muscular
Dystrophy (MD), but that occurred in 2007, two years after this interview. 34
In a 2009 interview Tamince seemed to say that Arif was one of many partners, and
that earlier he had been partners with a Ukrainian (presumably referring to

Akhmetov). It is unclear whether Arif had a direct relationship with Akhmetov or
simply both happened to work with Tamince.35
Distancing himself from Arif after the 2010 yacht scandal, Tamince said the Labada
Hotel had been transferred to him [apparently Arif] in 2007 and that they were no
longer involved in any joint projects.36
However, a Turkish report seemed to say Tamince and Arif partnered in another
company in 2010.37
Possible source of funds for Bayrock: Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory
The 2Sept16 report provides a clue linking Tofik Murtazayevich Arifov (who we
have identified as almost certainly the same person as Tevfik Arif) with the
Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory.

 One fellow patent holder, Nina Anatolyevna Okhotnikova, went from Soviet
era work at a probably military facility called Enterprise Post Office Box A 7125,
to being a representative of two companies that hold stakes in the Aktyubinsk
factory, Gibraltar registered Chromachem International (КРОМАКЕМ

undated list of people affiliated with the Aktyubinsk factory, these four
shareholders are represented by International Business Company in
Brussels.404142
 An entry the sidebar template of the factory’s Wikipedia article says the chrome
compounds factory was owned by Liechtenstein-based Special Chemical
Inc. since 1996.43 This is probably outdated.
A plausible scenario for Tofik Arifov:

 He may have been a manager at the Aktyubinsk factory in Soviet days. His
name‘s appearance on the leatherworking patents could be honorary, based on
his managerial position.

 Like many Soviet era managers, he may have leveraged his position in the 1990s
to take over shares in the factory.
The Aktyubinsk Chrome Compounds Factory (www.azhs.kz) may be related to
KazChrome, owned by Aleksandr Mashkevich’s ENRC.

 The chrome compounds factory is located in the same industrial park as the
Aktyubinsk Factory of Ferroalloys (ferrochrome.kz), which is part of ENRC’s
KazChrome.44
o Both are on the same street called 312nd Rifle Division Prospect (пр. 312
стрелковой дивизии).
o As described in an earlier report, KazChrome was taken over by
Chernoy’s TWG in the 1990s, hiding behind a company called Japan
Chrome
 However, business entries treat AZHS as an independent company not under
KazChrome.
 AZHS’ address in the Aktobe Industrial Zone is Section 15B.45 Some KazChrome
assets are sometimes listed as being in the Northwestern Industrial Zone.

Claims made about Arif

Richest man in Turkey?
A Russian translation of the article in the Israeli periodical Ediot Akhronot, speaking
about the yacht orgy scandal, calls Arif the richest person in Turkey46. It is unclear
how reliable this report and translation are.
Invested $15bln in Turkey?

According to one Kazakh periodical’s report on the yacht scandal, Arif claimed to
reporters that he had invested $15bln in Turkey. He also claimed he knew nothing
about the plans for the orgy and that he simply arrived to relax for the weekend.47
Well-connected in Soviet times? Had the right to travel?

The Economist’s Ed Lucas writes that Tevfik was “a well connected official back in
the Soviet days, who was allowed by the Communist leaders to travel abroad, at a
time when that was a privilege afforded only to senior KGB and Party officials.”48 It
is unclear where this information came from.
1996 contract for a Brooklyn shopping center?

Several biographies refer to this as his first agreement in the US. Could it have been
the building at 2027 Emmons, where his wife’s Emmons Realty office was? That
building had a dozen businesses in it.

A photo apparently taken at the official unveiling Trump Soho in September 2007

Ayla appears to be Tevfik and Gulnara’s daughter. Or possibly she could be a niece
who lived with the family.

 People search pages have several entries for an Ayla Arifova who is related to
Tevfik/Tofik and Julia/Gulnara Arif/Arifov. One entry has the age “47.” This is
likely a mistake.50
 An “Ayla Arifova” who looks like the Ayla from the photo appears in a few social
media pages.51
 They say she graduated from the Waldorf School, in Garden City NJ, in 2005 and
Columbia University in 2009.52 Her name appears on the Barnard
commencement list as a Sociology major.53

 One of Ayla Arifova’s Facebook pages said that her major at Columbia was
nursing and that she was a manager at the Fin n Feather petshop (which is in
Eureka, CA54, though she says she lives in New York). On that page, one of her
favorites is “Yahshua Messiyah,” which appears to be a group of Jewish
Christians.55
 She lived in London after college.56
 A company database entry for a Ms. Ayla Arif in London gave her address a (b)(6)
57 This is the address of
Kronos Capital Limited.
Kronos Capital and Oliver Ripley (Athena Group)
Ayla Arif was the company director of UK based Kronos Capital Limited from 2009
to 2011
 Business directories specify that Ayla Arif, bor (b)(6) , Turkish, “was
employed as Director (BUSINESSWOMAN) at KRONOS CAPITAL LIMITED from

15 October 2009 to 22 February 2011.”58 Her middle name given in the articles
of incorporation was “Stuart.”

 Another officer of this company during this time period was Arif “Stuart” Arif, a
male, bor (b)(6) , Turkish.59 60 Searches for their names with “Stuart”
in the middle yielded no other hits.

 The company dissolved 22 February 2011.61 Ayla and Arif signed the
application to strike it off the register on 11 October 2010, while their father was
still in Turkish custody for the yacht orgy.62
 Separately, a Kronos Capital Limited was incorporated 23 April 2014 at the
address 133 Chase Side N14 5HD London. Its director and 100% shareholder is
Radostina Ivanova Nicolaides, bor (b)(6) .6364 It is unclear whether this is
the same company reborn or a new company.

o The same woman is also a director of P&M Frozen Foods Ltd, which was
founded 2006. ARISTOTEL NICOLAIDES , probably her husband, is also a
director. 65

o Radostina is also a director of Fitreel Ltd, founded 2005. Other directors
are Nikolai Shoutov (Shutov) and Natalia Shoutova.66 Could they be
related to Yuriy Shutov, a Saint Petersburg local assemblyman indicted in
1999 in the murder ofseven businessmen?67

 A Kronos Capital Limited formerly existed in the Cayman Islands but was struck
off the list in March 2009.68

 There was a Kronos Capital Ltd in Kyiv, described as an “investment boutique.”
A man named Sergey Nikolayevich Umanets posted a resume on 5 August 2009.
He said he headed the Analytical Department at Kronos Capital Ltd from
December 2006 to May 2008. His duties included attracting projdct financing
from OTP (or OTR) Bank, Unicredit Bank, and UkrSibBank (BNP Paribas Group).
After working there, he worked in the Kyiv office of UK based
Silkrouteproperty from October 2008 to when he posted the resume in 2009.
Before working at Kronos, he did investment analysis at Castle Development
(DCH), a real estate firm in Kyiv.69
 There are dozens of English language company names containing “Kronos” and
several Russian named ones. 70 Extensive research would be necessary to see
whether any of them is related to Kronos Capital Ltd.
 Some Kronos companies that are possibly linked include a Кронос РФ (Kronos
Russian Federation) that produces polycarbonate and sells it through a company
named Zlak LLC in Kazakhstan71; Кронос трейд (Kronos Trade), founded 1998,
also a polycarbonate producer (possibly the same company) 72; Kronos Logistics
in Zaporizhya, Ukraine73; Kronos Consulting/Kronos Informatics in Turkey and
Germany, established 2011 by Taner Korpe, which “presents solutions in the
fields of Informatics, Sports, Energy and Defence”74; Kronos Investment Advisory
in Istanbul75


Kronos Capital websites hint at links with Athena Group and/or Ukrainian
government investment company

 One source says the website kronos capital.biz is the website of Kronos Capital
Ltd.76
 Other directories identify it as the website of Kyiv-based Kronos Capital
Holdings, aka Kronos Capital (Ukraine).77

 The Ukraine based Kronos Capital Holdings Ltd is based in the Cayman Islands
and also has a representation on ul. Staraya basmannaya, 7, bldg 2 in Moscow,
which was registered in 2007.78

o The website Kronos capital.biz cannot be viewed because is expired. It
was reportedly created 12 Dec 2008, but since 2011 it says “website
coming soon.”79
o The cached version from 4 Oct 2010 [days after Tevfik Arif’s arrest] has
indexes leading to various documents related to Ukrainian real estate,
including what appear to be documents related to projects including
Brigantina V, apparently a development in Vinnitsya begun in 2007;
Fenix; Kaspiy Hotel; TL Group, a set of automotive supply companies
owned by Cruseto Holdings, which sought in 2009 to buy shares from
ATR International AG; and Kodra glass plant, with documents from
2010.80 A folder entitled “USAID” had no cached copy available.

o
 One item in the cached index of the website Kronos capital.biz hints at a
Ukrainian government link. It was a September 2009 PowerPoint describing a
Ukrainian state enterprise called InvestUkraine.

o One might think it is simply a random document that Kronos Capital had
downloaded onto its hard drive.

o However, there is a significant name match: Yaroslav Mykuliak CFA
(b)(6) ) is identified as the Director of Research and
Project Development for this Ukrainian state enterprise.81

o Yaroslav Mykuliak is identified on one whois site as the registrant of the
domain kronos capital.biz. There his affiliation is listed as “inMotion

Arif Arif: Link to Doyen
User bellachkaa, whose instagram accounts appeared in a keyword searches for
Ayla’s name, appears to be that of Anabel Arifova, apparently a younger sister.
Users with whom she has corresponded leave comments on it, and bellachkaa
identifies herself as a Columbia or Barnard graduate and says she left London in
2014.. 83
 One comment is from Julia1963, who could be her mother aka Gulnara, who
was born in 1963. A search for “Julia1963” yielded many hits for widely varying
people. It would take much research to identify which were Julia Arif.
 One comment is from an “arif6455”. This could be from Kronos co owner Arif
Arif, the likely brother.

 Arif6455 is “followed” on social media by the social media account of
Doyen Global, according to a Google keyword search result .84

 Vika Krutaya (Berkovich) (composer Igor Krutoy’s daughter, pictured below at
a wedding reception with Ayla) corresponds with and follows Arif6455.85

 Soccer interest: Arif6455 makes a comment in 19 Dec 2009 on a page
discussing Manchester United. He claims the Glazers (the then owners) had no
money over, even after selling Ronaldo , because they were paying interest
payments on debts. “THERE IS NO MONEY FOR SAF TO SPEND BECAUSE THERE
IS A INTERNAL CRISIS AT THE CLUB WHICH IS BEING WITHHELD FROM THE
FANS.”.86 Arif6455 seems deeply involved in the subject.

Ayla hobnobs with the daughters of industrialists and pop stars
“Society lady Klarisa Mashitskaya; Ayla Arifova, Columbia University Student; and
singer Viktoriya Krutaya,” at the wedding of Lada Shefler and Vladimir
Troyanovskiy, at a villa in Tuscany. 87
A photo from a society wedding (above) shows Ayla with other rich people:
 Viktoriya Krutaya (Berkovich), the adopted daughter of famous composer and
society man Igor Krutoy. Vika corresponds with Ayla on social media.88 Vika
also follows and corresponds on social media with Arif6455, Ayla’s apparent
brother. 89
 Also in the photo is Klarisa Mashitskaya, who could be the daughter of Vitaliy
Mashchitskiy, crime linked ex policeman from Irkutsk who became a partner of
Shalva Chigirinskiy’s ST Group in 1997 (see 23July16Report).

 The bride is the daughter of Stolichnaya vodka magnate Yuriy Shefler of the SPI
Group.90 The groom plays professional poker. He and family members were
directors of MNV Systems Limited, registered in the BVI in 2007 and now
defunct.91

 If Ayla graduated from college in 2009, she would have been born about 1987. If
she were Tevfik and Gulnara’s daughter, the father would have been 34 and the
mother 24 when she was born.92

 Her Facebook page shows her wearing a white dress that could be a wedding
dress. 93
 A Vebidoo and Instagram page appear to show the same Ayla holding a baby.94
Her username on that page is ayla2209.
A search for ayla2209 produces evidence of friendship with another politically
involved rich Russian émigré, but also a perplexing reference to terrorism.
 Mariya Baybakova (Baibakova) the Hilary Clinton fundraiser whose father,
industrialist Oleg Baybakov, is a director of Mikhail Prokhorov’s Oneksim
Development, partnered with shady Maksim Finskiy, and bought up Miami real
estate in 2014 (see 30July16 and 2Aug16 Reports) had attended ayla2209’s
wedding.95
o Baibakova’s art gallery page is one of Ayla’s Facebook favorites, along
with Ivanka Trump’s page.

o Baibakova’s photo of Ayla and her groom appears furtive but shows the
luxury of the décor.

o The photo appears in Baibakova’s Instagram gallery right after photos of
the Artspace Dinner at London’s Institute of Contemporary Art, which
apparently took place 4 June 2013. Anna Machkevitch (related to ENRC’s
Mashkevich?) played a prominent role in photos of that dinner.96 The
order of photos in her gallery may not be exactly chronological, because
something dated 8.06.2013 appears before the photos of the Artspace
dinner.97

“The bride and groom @ayla2209,” from Maria Baibakova’s Instagram.98
 Maybe this was the secretive wedding held in May 2013 in Sardinia, which the
Italian author appeared to think was the wedding of Tevfik himself (see
14Dec15Report). Possible confirmation of this is that the page on which
Baybakova posted the wedding photos was created in 2013, judging from “page
info.”
 The cascading lavender flowers of the decor resemble those in the wedding that
Ayla and Vika Krutaya attended (see photo above)
 Ayla2209, whose avatar shows the same picture with a baby, posted on an
Ivanka Trump Instagram picture, with the comment “@Bellachka1229.”99 That
username appears to be an alternative nickname for little sister Anabel.

Kuanysheva during the bespoke presentation to discover the whimsical and
surrealist fine jewellry of Bernard Delettrez at the Ham Yard Hotel on June 1st
2016 in London, England.”100

Anabel Arifova—little sister?
(@aarifova, ema (b)(6) (b)(6) ,
(b)(6) ) appears to be the person with the username
bellachkaa101 and bellachka1229.

 She graduated in 2009 from Buckley Country Day School in Glen Cove, NY, about
a half hour drive from the Arif family home in Port Washington.102 She lived at
(b)(6) , according to several directories.103

 She graduated in 2014 from Godolphin and Latymer high school, where she was
part of the Russian Culture Society. She went on to Barnard.104

 Her Twitter account opened in 2013 shows a picture of New York and a quote
about art.105
 She would have been born in 1996 when Tevfik was 43 and Gulnara/Julia 33.

The tweet included a picture of a tweet from @Ayla2009 showing the ISIS logo with
a rose (below).
User Anonylox responded with a tweet that seemed to indicate that Ayla2209 had
been suspended:

Indeed, Twitter says the account http://twitter.com/ayla2009 has been suspended.
No cached copies could be found.
Who is Anonzeus3? The Twitter bio links to the website ghostsec.info, a counter
terrorism intel group. In an interview with cyber expert Pierluigi Paganini, this user
wrote, “I am known as Zeus (Zeus Anon @anonzeus3 on twitter, Zeus1 on Anonops).
I have been involved in anti ISIS operations since the ISIS took over Kobane a couple
of years back. …. I am currently Admin staff on Anonops , #OpIceISIS and
#OpDDosISIS..”107
Who is Anonylox?: Anonylox also retweets pro Putin messages critical of the US
and British establishment by a user named @Ian56789 who claims to be a stock
market trader. This Ian also quotes Trump advisor Michael Flynn. Anonylox joined
Twitter in August 2012 and put this for a bio: “This may be the beginning of a new
chapter in an old book. Our society is broken, our keepers are corrupt. We will not
forgive.”
Is this Ayla2209 the same as Ayla Arifova? The Ayla2209 Twitter account in the
screenshot simply has the name “Ayla,” whereas the Ayla2209 Instagram account
has the name “Ayla Arifova.” Therefore the Daesh Ayla could be anybody. However,
it is odd that the Daesh user would choose the same rather obscure number that

associating Ayla’s username with terrorism? If so, it is very subtle.

Luzhkov connection in yacht orgy raid?
The Turkish raid on the Savarona yacht orgy took place 28 September 2010, the
exact same day that Yuriy Luzhkov was ousted from the Moscow mayoralty.
Coincidence?
 This coincidence of dates was pointed out by a financial analyst quoted by Radio
Liberty.
 That author theorizes that then president Medvedev hastily fired Luzhkov
because of his ties with Arif and Ismailov, so the yacht scandal would not harm
Russia’s reputation.108
 This seems unlikely. Mayor Luzhkov had already been under pressure for at
least a month before his formal ouster.
However, it is worth considering the possibility that Turkish and Russian authorities
coordinated the timing of the yacht takedown and Luzhkov’s ouster.

 Could the arrest of Telman Ismailov or one of the other oligarchs on the yacht be
part of a one two punch against Luzhkov and his powerful allies?
 Could the takedown have been timed to prevent Luzhkov from calling on allies
to defend him? Perhaps allies with armed thugs at their disposal to protect
Luzhkov? If Ismailov, Arif or others were powerful allies of Luzhkov, catching
them literally with their pants down on the yacht would prevent them from
defending Luzhkov.
o Such a scenario is plausible. When Russian law enforcement arrested
Said Amirov, the wheelchair bound corrupt mayor of Makhachkala,
Dagestan in 2013, they carried out a military style raid with helicopters
because they feared his allies might forcibly defend the mayor.
o Luzhkov himself “can count on 200,000 loyal “bayonets,” quartered in
Moscow and the surrounding region,” according to a 1999 report. 109
 It would have been complicated for Turkish and Russian authorities to make
those two dates coincide, because each was preceded by a long period of

preparation. Further research would be necessary to follow up on this
possibility.
More information on some of the people involved in the yacht orgy
Telman Ismailov may be especially close to ENRC’s Aleksandr Mashkevich, if it
is true that Ismailov is Mashkevich’s deputy chief of the Euroasiatic Jewish
Congress.110
Arbi Gayrabekov, another of the Russian businessmen caught on the yacht, is a
sidekick of Musa Bazhayev.

 Gayrabekov is a vice president of Russian Platinum, most of whose leaders come
from Bazhayev’s Alyans Oil company. 111

 They are Chechen.
 Gayrabekov graduated from Odessa Technological Institute in 1996, was
involved in unspecified “entrepreneurial activity” from 1995 2011, then worked
at OOO Alitek from 2011 2012, and was at Russkaya platina since 2012. There
are several companies called Alitek. It would take some research to figure out
which one.
The Bazhayev family allegedly conspired with Mikhail Chernoy in the theft of a
billion dollars from Russia’s Central Bank in the 1990s using false IOUs, according to
widespread rumors cited in a 2007 article. 112

 The Chechen accomplices wanted their share of the money, say the author’s law
enforcement sources.
 Musa’s brother Ziya Bazhayev died in an airplane crash in 2000 that some
aviation specialists suspect was not an accident.

 The Alyans Group’s main activity as of 2007 was in Ukraine, where it owned 165
gas stations and the Kherson refinery. It also had a joint venture with Shell. The
Alyans Group also owned a refinery in the Khabarovsk region in Russia’s Far
East.
Possible Bazhayev-Torshin link?

 Another brother, Mavlit Bazhayev, proposed creating a national project to
encourage migration from the North Caucasus region to sparsely settled land in
Siberia and the Far East. This somewhat resembles various resettlement

schemes promoted by former Deputy Speaker Aleksandr Torshin113 (a member
of the NRA and a person accused by Spanish authorities of ties with the Russian
mafia there).
Bazhayev link to Kadyrov and Putin

 Musa Bazhayev met with Vladimir Putin at the presidential estate in Novo
Ogarevo in July 2006 and promised that Alyans Oil Company would spend
$50mln refurbishing the Oil Institute in Grozny and building a hospital and
schools in Achkoy Martan, Chechnya.
Bazhayev link with Dmitriy Shumkov, who was found hanged in Moskva-siti in
in December 2015:
 We saw in the 7May16 report that Musa Bazhayev helped Dmitriy Shumkov
acquire Moscow real estate.

 Shumkov’s relations with the Bazhayev clan later reportedly cooled; in June 2015,
Shumkov said he wanted to exit the Norilsk-1 project he was involved in with
Bazhayev.114
 Former Rosneft director and Sechin protégé Eduard Khudaynatov bought Bazhayev’s
Alyans Group in 2014, possibly to legalize shady money. Critical commentator
Yuliya Latynina says Shumkov may have siphoned money from this deal and been
murdered in revenge for this.115

 Another possibility raised in a comment to an article on Shumkov’s death is that he
knew too much. Just before his death, Andrey Arkhangelskiy, a friend of Shumkov
and an officer of the Mosinzhproyekt contractor, was sentenced to 3.5 years in jail.
“The sad events happening to [Arkhangelskiy] may have caused the death of
[Shumkov].”116
