The long tentacles of US sanctions have reached for a jet bearing the logo of Aman Resorts, a company that plans to build a luxury hotel in Aspen, America. And the plane belongs to one of the co-owners of the beloved developer of the mayor Sergei Sobyanin of the holding "Capital Group" Vladislav Doronin.
As journalists found out, a business jet owned by Aman Resorts and its CEO Vladislav Doronin, who bought the Gorsuch Haus property on Mount Aspen last year for $76.5 million, has not been able to fly since November due to sanctions imposed on the operator of the aircraft by the Office US Treasury Department of Foreign Assets Control.
The Bombardier Global Express aircraft has been on the OFAC Nationals of Special Purpose list for nearly nine months. OFAC maintains a public sanctions database. The Aman aircraft is among eight aircraft operated and operated by Malta-based and Russian-based Emperor Aviation Ltd., which has also been sanctioned, according to OFAC.
OFAC said in November that it sanctioned Emperor Aviation because it coordinated luxury travel for relatives of Suleiman Kerimov. US sanctions have been imposed on Kerimov since 2018; following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union identified Kerimov as an oligarch and ally of President Vladimir Putin.
In its November sanctions, OFAC added Kerimov's wife, son and two daughters to the list.
The tail number of the Aman aircraft, or N number, is 9H-AMN; the prefix "9H" indicates that the aircraft is registered in Malta, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. All eight aircraft operated by Emperor Aviation are based in Malta.
Earlier, the VChK-OGPU telegram channel and Rucriminal.info said that Pavel Te, another co-owner of the Capital Group holding, had applied for South Korean citizenship. Cho already has citizenship of Russia, Uzbekistan and a Spanish residence permit issued in the Balearic Islands. "Capital Group" is a company that is engaged in large-scale embezzlement of funds from the budget of Moscow and the federal budget under the auspices of a number of high-ranking officials. The account of funds withdrawn from state contracts and received as a result of overestimation of the cost of real estate sold to the state goes to many tens of billions of rubles. Capital Group employees are driven to rallies in support of the war. The owners themselves prefer to live in other countries.
Thus, the other two shareholders of Capital Group are Vladislav Doronin, a citizen of Sweden and a resident of Switzerland, and Eduard Berman, an Israeli citizen and a resident of Spain.
