We have prepared an evidence pack on these oligarchs that we suggest to include in our supposed sanction list. There we elaborate a lot on Mr. Abramovich.
To make a long story short, he pretends to be a businessman, but he is just a nominal holder of Mr. Putin's assets. He is responsible for the privatization of the oil industry by Mr. Putin. He acquired for some pennies the oil companies that were taken by force using the criminal charges, and so on, from independent businessmen, taken on behalf of the Russian government and then the control over these oil companies was transferred to Mr. Abramovich.
