Russian businessman Rasim Ismailov bought out the shares of Paritetbank from Said Gutseriev, the son of Mikhail Gutseriev. Let us remind you that the latter fell under the British sanctions imposed on Minsk. This was reported to zerkalo.io by the bank.
“The change of the main owner of the bank will not affect its operating activities. Paritetbank will continue to fulfill all obligations to clients in full. All contracts concluded by clients with the bank continue to operate, their conditions remain unchanged,” the bank says.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
In September it was reported that Bank Dabrabyt intends to buy out common shares of its own issue. This decision was made at the general meeting of the bank's shareholders. The purchase of 880 shares is planned. As reported, it was about the sale of shares owned by Paritetbank. The latter, in turn, belongs to Said Gutseriev, the son of Mikhail Gutseriev, who came under British sanctions imposed on Minsk.
How the sanctions affected the Gutserievs
Mikhail Gutseriev, after being included in the sanctions lists, left the board of directors of RussNeft, which has been supplying oil to Belarus for a long time.
One of the main projects of Gutseriev in Belarus is the construction of the Nezhinsky mining and processing plant near Lyuban. The company of the Gutseriev family Slavkali is engaged in this project. The construction of the plant is stipulated by an investment agreement between Belarus and the British company GCM Global energy, owned by Gutseriev. Since June 10, Mikhail Gutseriev has lost control over GCM Global energy, as follows from the company's report. The controlling person is now Sait-Salam Gutseriev, the businessman's younger brother. The “Board of Directors” page has disappeared from the Slavkali website. Previously, the Board of Directors was headed by Mikhail Gutseriev, and its members were relatives and managers of the businessman.
Earlier on August 18, it became known that the son of billionaire Mikhail Gutseriev Said sold his shares in the Currency.com and Capital.com crypto exchanges to Viktar Prakapenia.
