Russian top bankers are among the newly baked Bulgarians who received golden passports through investments. These are <\/span>Dmitry Kushaev<\/b> – Director of Credit Suisse Moscow<\/span>, Roman Nagaev<\/b> – former Director of Investment Banking at the Russian bank VTB Capital<\/span>, and Igor Finogenov<\/b> – former director of the Eurasian Development Bank and close to power, as evidenced by his photos with former President and Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev.<\/span><\/p>\n

A check in the Property Register shows that Kushaev, Nagaev and Finogenov do not own properties in Bulgaria, and a check in the Commercial Register shows that they do not own or manage companies, i.e. <\/span>They don’t invest in the real economy.<\/b>, and have probably bought government securities or deposited money on deposit with a Bulgarian bank, as the law on Bulgarian citizenship gives opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bulgarian – a top banker close to the Russian government<\/h3>\n

Igor Finogenov<\/b> is Chairman of the Management Board of the <\/span>
\n Eurasian Development Bank<\/span>
\n<\/a> From 2006 to 2015, having previously been an assistant to the Minister of Finance of Russia and a banker in other banks. According to <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> His 2015 Wikipedia page has been an adviser to the President of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and a member of the Council of Foreign Investors to the President of Kazakhstan.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Finogenov received his Bulgarian passport and became a Bulgarian citizen by decree 77 of 04.06.2020 under file number 23961\/2018. To date, he does not own or manage companies in Bulgaria, nor does he own real estate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bulgarian – Director of Credit Suisse Moscow<\/h3>\n

Dmitry Kushaev<\/b> becomes CEO of <\/span>
\n Credit Suisse Moscow<\/span>
\n<\/a> in 2016, and in 2021 he was re-elected as a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank. When he received his Bulgarian passport, he was an employee of the Swiss bank in Russia. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kushaev became a Bulgarian citizen by Decree 26 of 12.03.2021 under file number 7361\/2019. To date, he does not own or manage companies in Bulgaria, nor does he own real estate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bulgarian – former director of the Russian VTB Capital<\/h3>\n

Roman Nagaev<\/b>, a Harvard graduate, is a former director of investment banking at the Russian bank <\/span>
\n VTB Capital<\/span>
\n<\/a>. The bank is known as “Putin’s bank” and in Bulgaria is represented by former Finance Minister Milen Velchev. <\/span><\/p>\n

In parallel with his career at VTB, Nagaev was appointed to the board of directors of <\/span>
\n Grouppa PIK<\/span>
\n<\/a> (First Mortgage Company), a leading construction company in Russia, in which VTB Capital Bank is a shareholder.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no public information about what position Nagaev held at the time he received his Bulgarian passport. He became a Bulgarian citizen by Decree 5 of 29.01.2018, and his file was filed only a year earlier under number 5368\/2017. To date, he also does not own or manage companies in Bulgaria, nor does he own real estate. No photo of him is found on the Web.<\/span><\/p>\n

The BRRD has data on those who have received golden passports as investors and makes a journalistic study of their relations with business and politics. In the first article in the series<\/a> we informed about the golden passport of <\/span>Roman Savushkin<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>, received when he was General Director of the United Wagon Company, a structure-defining enterprise in Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
