E109: Super-yachts & sanctions: Who’s buying up Russian assets?

Did you really think rich Russian oligarchs were going to just *give up* being rich?


Despite the ongoing invasion of Ukraine and yet more sanctions packages looking to crush the war effort – the owners of plush properties, energy companies, and super-yachts are still making money.


Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Miles Johnson, Investigative Reporter at the Financial Times to ask: who is buying up Russian assets?


The panel discuss: How Russian money still moves across borders, the enablers making these transactions possible, and who is buying up what sanctioned Russians have to offer.


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Editor: Dominic Delargy

Engineer: Nicholas Thon
