Is Liliya Arkadyevna ROTENBERG on a sanctions list?

There are reasonable grounds to suspect that Liliya Arkadyevna ROTENBERG is associated with and has obtained a financial benefit from Arkady Romanovich ROTENBERG (RUS0123) and Igor Arkadyevich ROTENBERG (RUS0247). Liliya Arkadyevna ROTENBERG is the daughter of Arkady Romanovich ROTENBERG (RUS0123) who has been designated by the UK since 31/12/2020 and the sister of Igor Arkadyevich ROTENBERG (RUS0247) who has been designated by the UK since 22/02/2022. Arkady Rotenberg is a prominent Russian businessman who has close personal ties to President Putin. Since March 2014, Rotenberg, or his companies, have received State contracts totalling over USD 7 Billion. In 2015, Rotenberg led the annual list of government contracts in terms of value, after being awarded contracts worth 555 Billion roubles from the Russian Government. Many of these contracts were awarded without formal competitive processes. On 30 January 2015, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that awarded to Stroygazmontazh (Rotenberg’s company at the time), a State contract for the construction of the Kerch Bridge from Russia to the illegally annexed Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Through these contracts he has financially benefited from Russian Decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea or the destabilisation of eastern Ukraine. He was the owner of the company Stroygazmontazh until 2019, which has been awarded a State contract for the construction of the Kerch bridge from Russia to the illegally annexed Autonomous Republic of Crimea, therefore consolidating its integration into the Russian Federation, which in turn further undermines the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Similarly, in January 2017, Stroygazmontazh was awarded the State contract worth 17 billion roubles for the construction of a railway line on the Kerch bridge, which again further undermines the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Other activities included being the the chairman of the board of directors of the publishing house Prosvescheniye until 2017, which has notably implemented the project ‘To the Children of Russia: Address- Crimea’, a public relations campaign that was designed to persuade Crimean children that they are now Russian citizens living in Russia, and thereby supporting the Russian Government's policy to integrate Crimea into Russia. Igor Arkadyevich ROTENBERG is a prominent Russian businessman with close familial ties to President Putin. Igor Arkadyevich ROTENBERG is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of National Telematic Systems (NTS). NTS is conducting business in the transport sector, which is of strategic significance to the Government of Russia, and therefore through his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors to NTS, Igor Arkadyevich ROTENBERG is benefiting from or supporting the Government of Russia. Igor Arkadyevich ROTENBERG is also a shareholder in RT-Invest Transport Systems (RTITS). RTITS, through the "Platon" toll system, is conducting business in the transport sector, which is of strategic significance to the Government of Russia. It is also obtaining a benefit from the Government of Russia. The trust services sanctions were imposed on 21/03/2023. — The Director Disqualification Sanction was imposed on 09/04/2025.
