Another four Russian billionaires and their relatives who used the Cyprus Investment Program in the last 10 years to obtain the gold passport, are now losing their citizenship after yesterday's decision of the Council of Ministers. The four Russians were sanctioned by Brussels on April 8, 2022, in an attempt to hurt the country's political elite, which is believed to be helping Vladimir Putin during the invasion of Ukraine. These are Russian billionaires who, while maintaining their Cypriot passport, have relocated their activities outside Cyprus to countries that are not at risk of being exposed to sanctions.
Therefore, based on yesterday's decision of the Council of Ministers, the process of deprivation of Cypriot citizenship by Grigory Berezkin, Oleg Deripaska, Igor Kasayev and Gulbakor Ismailova begins. The dependents of the four investors are 11. Only during this month it was decided to cancel the passports of 8 investors, who together with their dependents amount to 36 persons. The 8 businessmen and their dependents are now subject to seizure of assets.

The four newcomers are on the Commission's updated list of sanctions of 8 April 2022. They are Grigory Berezkin, Oleg Deripaska, Igor Kasayev and Gulbakor Ismailova.
It is noted that the total number of persons for whom the deprivation of Cypriot citizenship was decided amounts to eight out of a total of 1091 persons who have been sanctioned by the EU. The list of the Commission includes 34 Russian tycoons, former and current billionaires. p>
Oleg Deripaska, who was included in the latest list of sanctions of the Commission and by decision of the government will now proceed with the revocation of the golden passport he holds from 2017, like his two daughters, has been in the spotlight of the international scene since 2018, with As a result, his fortune today reaches $ 3 billion more than the $ 20 billion he had at the beginning of the millennium. The United States has imposed sanctions on the billionaire, who has controlled one of the world's largest aluminum companies for four years, and sanctions on Deripaska have been imposed by the United Kingdom since the Russian invasion. & nbsp;
Russian businessman was born on 2/1/1968 in the Russian city of Dzerzhinsk. It owns the Russian Machines industrial group, which includes the Military Industrial Company, which is a major supplier of weapons and military equipment to the Russian Armed Forces.
Its assets include the Arzamas Machine-Building Plant, which builds the amphibious armored personnel carriers BTR-80 used by Russia during the unprovoked military offensive against Ukraine.
The latest sanctions of the Commission include Gulbakor Ismailova, who was naturalized in Cyprus in 2015. Born in Uzbekistan on 12/22/1959, she was targeted by the Commission as she is the sister of the Russian tycoon, Alisher Usmanov. By 2022, Usmanov had an estimated net worth of $ 19.5 billion and was among the 100 richest people in the world.
Investigations by the German Federal Criminal Police (Bundeskriminalamt) have revealed that Usmanov indirectly transferred assets to Ismailova's sister. In particular, the owner of the yacht “Dilbar” is Navis Marine Ltd. (Cayman Islands), whose shareholder is the Cypriot company Almenor Holdings Ltd. All the shares of this parent company are owned by Pomerol Capital SA (Switzerland) in a trust for the benefit of The Sisters Trust. As of 2017, Usmanov is no longer a shareholder in this trust company, leaving his sister as the sole real owner of the yacht “Dilbar”. She is also associated with luxury real estate in Italy and Latvia, which can be connected to her brother.
Last week, German federal police announced that they had seized $ 600 million worth of Dilbar after weeks of painstaking financial investigation that revealed the yacht's real ownership despite the intricate web of an offshore concealment of the real owner. With 15,917 tons, the Dilbar is the largest motor yacht in the world with a total capacity and usually a crew of 96 people, with space for 24 passengers in 12 suites. Designed by British superyacht specialist Andrew Winch, it features a 25-meter indoor pool, the largest in the world on a private boat, a sauna and massage parlor, a cinema and two helipads. The 156-meter-long vessel, which is undergoing extensive repairs in Hamburg, Germany, was inspected by police last month. However, the German authorities then denied the information about the seizure.
The billionaire Usmanov, who had a vested interest in the English football clubs Arsenal and Everton, had already been sanctioned by the EU, the US and the United Kingdom.
