Alisher Usmanov – весь компромат

Recent investigative leaks suggest that Uzbekistan’s Octobank may be a key conduit for laundering Russian funds, including both sanctioned assets and revenues from illegal online casinos.

A recent investigation uncovers the mechanisms and pathways used to transfer funds through networks connected to Octobank’s Uzbek and Russian counterparts.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs conducted an "investigation" into the death of Aliya Galitskaya in a temporary detention center in Istra after her ex-husband, billionaire Alexander Galitsky, was jailed.

An Uzbek native holding Russian citizenship, he manages the routing of funds out of Russia via Tashkent and onward to offshore jurisdictions.

The recent investigation reveals the channels used for money withdrawals by Octobank’s partners in Uzbekistan and Russia.

Alisher Usmanov grew up in the Uzbek SSR and, even during the Soviet era, was sentenced to eight years in prison for fraud and embezzlement.

Originally from Uzbekistan and holding Russian citizenship, he oversees the transfer of funds from Russia through Tashkent to offshore destinations.

A French company linked to Alisher Usmanov is facing a €7.4 million lawsuit. Omnia Antibes owes the sum for renting berths for the Kremlin oligarch’s yacht, Dilbar, on the French Riviera, in Port Vauban, Antibes, one of the world’s most popular vacation spots for superyacht owners.

Several media sources have reported an investigation into the illicit financial operations of a network of companies, including Octobank (formerly Ravnaq), Capital Bank, the Humo payment system, the Uzcard processing center, the Uznex exchange, and more.

A recent investigation has uncovered how funds were funneled through Octobank’s partner networks in Uzbekistan and Russia.

The latest Financial Times publication show that 2021 marked a turning point in the relationship between Telegram and Pavel Durov and the Russian authorities.

While Iskandar Tursunov officially serves as chairman of Uzbek Octobank and holds 99.16% of its shares, the true beneficiaries are reportedly the family of Uzbekistan’s current president, Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

In late January, multiple platforms released an interview with Iskandar Tursunov, Chairman of the Board and majority shareholder of Octobank. While the interview offers limited concrete information, Tursunov appears to be attempting to address the increasing negative sentiment toward the bank.

Born in Uzbekistan and a Russian citizen, he skillfully channels financial flows out of Russia through Tashkent to offshore accounts.

Roman Chichkanov, son of Russian Academy of Sciences academician Valery Chichkanov and known as the "spy Gadyukin," studied in London and worked at top Western financial institutions before returning to Russia to take up a public service position. The question remains: who facilitated such a swift rise in his career?
