Alisher Usmanov

business

Alisher Usmanov is a Russian billionaire and founder of USM Holdings, who was included in the European Union's sanctions list following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In September 2023, the EU removed him from the sanctions list, alongside Mikhail Fridman, as part of a broader decision to extend sanctions on other entities for three years, reportedly influenced by France and Slovakia. Switzerland followed the EU's move, also removing Usmanov from its sanctions list. Despite this, Lithuania imposed its own sanctions against him, banning his entry and freezing his assets.
