Hello OCCRP Reader,

Our global network of journalists have hunted down and verified more high-value assets with ties to enablers of Vladimir Putin’s regime. 

One of the assets, a purebred show horse, came from the help of an OCCRP reader. If you have information about the wealth of a Kremlin ally, please take the time to fill out this form. 

Our latest entries in Russian Asset Tracker:

NEW ASSETS

Introducing Eugene Shvidler. The UK recently sanctioned Eugene Shvidler for his long-standing business relationship with fellow oligarch Roman Abramovich. This week, OCCRP has uncovered three properties tied to him. 

➡️ New York City: This Manhattan apartment, worth roughly $2,680,000, was bought by his son in 2015. 

➡️ London: These two flats in Stirling Square — worth roughly $30,468,800 — are owned by Eugene Shvidler.

Air Abramovich. This Airbus Eurocopter, worth roughly $4,900,000, is owned through Wenham Overseas Ltd., which we confirm is ultimately owned by Roman Abramovich. Wenham also bought a plane and two yachts tied to the owner of FC Chelsea. 

The Abramovich-Linked Stable Grows. Peach Belini is owned by Roman Abramovich's daughter Sofia, and has been featured on her social media accounts. This is just one of the many show horses with ties to Abramovich. (More on that below).

OCCRP has also confirmed the following assets reported by other media:

The Eclipse. Documents provided by a former crew member confirms that the massive yacht, worth over $1 billion, is tied to Roman Abramovich.

🐎 More Horses

Here are a few more horses linked to Roman Abramovich. All of them are likely blocked from competing in international tournaments due to a ban on Russian-owned horses. 

  • Zanzibar V, nicknamed Zanzi, is owned by Roman Abramovich's ex-wife Irina, and frequently features on Sofia Abramovich's social media accounts. 

  • Billy Fraulein has been registered under the name of Abramovich's daughter Sofia since March 3, 2022, and features on her social media accounts. Before that he was registered in the name of Sofia's mother and Abramovich's ex-wife, Irina. 

  • Dino is owned by Abramovich's ex-wife, Irina. The horse has been ridden by their daughter, Arina.

  • Sacree Du Rouet was owned by Abramovich's ex-wife Irina until February 2022, when it was re-registered in the name of their daughter Sofia.
  • Greenacres DIadoro is owned by Abramovich's daughter Sofia, and has competed in a number of local and international showjumping competitions.
