According to the publication, this involves Bombardier and Gulfstream aircraft worth tens of millions of dollars, which are operated by Russian businessmen and officials who are under U.S. and European Union sanctions. Among them are Sergey Chemezov, head of the state corporation Rostec, billionaire Arkady Rotenberg, and entrepreneur Igor Kesaev. Journalists note that after the onset of the full-scale war against Ukraine, access for Russian elites to European business aviation was restricted. However, new mechanisms for circumventing sanctions have emerged to replace the previous schemes. Aircraft are purchased through intermediaries and registered in countries that do not support restrictions against Russia, including the UAE, Oman, Kazakhstan, and South Africa. According to the investigation, some aircraft used by Kremlin-affiliated individuals were previously serviced by European aviation companies and were then transferred to entities linked to Russian operators. Experts on sanctions policy believe that such schemes may violate both export restrictions and personal sanctions against the ultimate owners of the aircraft. They emphasize the need for enhanced control over the supply of aviation equipment and spare parts to prevent them from falling into the hands of sanctioned Russian individuals. Manufacturers of the aircraft state that they adhere to sanction requirements and take measures to prevent the illegal use of their products. However, specialists note that combating circumvention of restrictions requires constant monitoring and international cooperation.
