THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 of 17 March 2014 concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine (1), and in particular Article 14(1) thereof,

The European Council also called for further steps to weaken Russia’s ability to continue waging its war of aggression, including by strengthening the sanctions.

(3)

In view of the gravity of the situation, it is appropriate to adopt further restrictive measures.

(4)

In particular, the Council considers that two persons and four entities responsible for actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine should be added to the list of persons, entities and bodies subject to restrictive measures set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 269/2014.

(5)

Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly,

Mikhail Rudolfovich KONTSEREV

(Михаил Рудольфович КОНЦЕРЕВ)

Function: General Director of PJSC TransContainer

DOB: 11.6.1970

POB: Leningrad, USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russian Federation)

Nationality: Russian

Gender: male

Taxpayer Identification Number: I781400896256

Mikhail Kontserev is the General Director of Public Joint Stock Company (PJSC) TransContainer. PJSC TransContainer is a Russian transportation company and Russia’s largest railway container operator. PJSC TransContainer revenues increased throughout 2023 and it recorded an increase in transit traffic in the second half of 2023, which was primarily due to the flow of Belarusian cargo through the ports of the north-west of Russia. PJSC TransContainer has also agreed to offer its services at the new terminal of the Alabuga Special Economic Zone (SEZ). The Alabuga SEZ has been cooperating with the Ministry of Defence and Logistics of the Iranian Armed Forces to locate the production site of Shahed loitering munitions (the name of the Russian version is “Geran”).

In addition, PJSC TransContainer participates in illegal weapon trade schemes with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in support of the Russian Government. In 2023, shipment containers owned by PJSC TransContainer were spotted en route to Rajin port, DPRK. Containers from PJSC TransContainer were also spotted at Tikhoretsk Ammo Depot, which provides supplies of various types of ammunition to the Russian armed forces. Tikhoretsk Ammo Depot, a strategic storage facility located around 400 kilometres from the border with Ukraine, supports operational munitions storage facilities for the Russian armed forces closer to the Ukraine front.

Therefore, Mikhail Kontserev, in his capacity as the General Director of PJSC TransContainer, is supporting materially the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

Dimitry Aleksandrovich BELOGLAZOV

(Дмитрий Александрович БЕЛОГЛАЗОВ)

Function: Businessperson, owner of LLC Titul

DOB: 18.2.1968

Nationality: Russian

Gender: male

Dimitry Beloglazov is the owner of LLC Titul (based in Russia) which established a subsidiary, Joint Stock Company (JSC) Iliadis (based in Russia), to acquire Oleg Deripaska’s share in the International LLC Rasperia Trading Limited (“Rasperia”, based in Russia). Rasperia owns 28,5  million shares in the European company STRABAG SE. Those shares were frozen because Rasperia was controlled by Oleg Vladimirovich Deripaska, an individual subject to Union restrictive measures.

Oleg Deripaska coordinated a complex evasion scheme with Dimitry Beloglazov to sell the frozen shares of STRABAG. To that end, Beloglazov’s company LLC Titul established a subsidiary, JSC Iliadis, which acquired Deripaska’s share of Rasperia, and thereby also the frozen STRABAG shares. Deripaska received an equivalent economic benefit for the sale of Rasperia.

28.6.2024’;

 

 

 

Dimitry Beloglazov and the involved companies LLC Titul, JSC Iliadis and Rasperia used this scheme to sell, outside the Union, a non-Union company controlled by a listed person and owning frozen shares of a Union company with the sole purpose to lift the freezing of those shares in the Union, thereby circumventing Union restrictive measures.

Therefore, Dimitry Beloglazov is facilitating infringements of the prohibition against circumvention of Regulation (EU) No 269/2014.
