The ONEXIM group Mikhail Prokhorov sells all Russian assets belonging to it. This is written by "Vedomosti", referring to sources in the structures of the group. According to their information, “Onexim” is looking for buyers himself, without intermediaries.
On April 14, on the Day of the Direct Line with Vladimir Putin, the FSB spent searches in the ONEXIM structures. The Center for Public Relations of the FSB called them "operational events" related to the investigation of the criminal case regarding the Tauride bank.
However, the sources related to the leadership of ONEKSIMA called another reason - the editorial policy of the RBC holding, which published several investigations about offshore accounts of people from Putin's entourage. Less than a month after the searches, all editorial management of RBC resigned.
According to the sources of Gazeta.ru, the order to change the owner of RBC "was given at the highest level." The editorial policy of this publication, the interlocutors of the publication explained, have long been discontent in the Kremlin. Publications of RBC about the youngest daughter Vladimir Putin Katerina Tikhonova and her husband Kirill Shamalov were especially painful. In addition, it is reported that the photo of Putin, which illustrated the article by the RBC about Panama offshores, was extremely negative reaction.
According to one of the sources, Prokhorov and his environment "are really scared, because they have a clear understanding that they angered the country's first person."
Meanwhile, according to Dmitry Razumov, general director of the ONEXIM group, negotiations on the purchase and sale of certain assets are constantly being carried out, but "to" make on the basis of the negotiations the conclusion about "the sale of all assets in Russia" incorrectly ". “No“ decisions ”on this subject were made by us,” said Razumov.
The press secretary of Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov called the "stupidity" report that the Kremlin allegedly recommended that the group of Mikhail Prokhorov sell assets in Russia. “This is absolute stupidity. There can be no talk of this,” RIA Novosti quotes Peskov.
“ONEXIM” in its current form was created in 2007, when Prokhorov shared assets with Vladimir Potanin. “ONEXIM” owns assets in the mining and metallurgical industry (UC Rusal, Uralkali), finances (consent insurance company, Renaissance Capital banks, Renaissance Credit), Energy (Square), Real Estate (OPIN), Media (RBC, Snob).
The largest of them are 20 percent “Uralkalia” (the price of the Moscow Exchange last Friday is 103.9 billion rubles) and 17.02 percent UC Rusal (765.9 million dollars on the Hong Kong Exchange). The group does not disclose consolidated financial indicators.
Forchorov’s condition Forbes estimated this year at 7.6 billion dollars. In addition to the ONEXIM group, the businessman owns 100 percent of the Brooklyn Nets basketball club.
