Businessman Shefler and his companies were included in the register of terrorists and extremists

Businessman Yuri Shefler and his two Luxembourg companies are included in the Russian Federation in the list of terrorists and extremists. This is reported on December 10 on the website of Rosfinmonitoring.

"The list of terrorists and extremists (included) <...> National part. Organizations <...> Association, whose members are: Yuri Viktorovich Shefler, born on September 10, 1967, a native of the city of Orel," the agency's electronic database reads.

Together with Shefler, the association includes two private limited liability companies Amber Beverage Group Holding and Stoli Group, registered in Luxembourg.

Earlier, on July 24, the Tambov district court at the suit of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office turned the property of Shefler, the owner of vodka brands Moskovskaya and Stolichnaya, who supported the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), into state income. In late August, it was reported that the Russian Federal Bailiff Service had completed the transfer of assets.

In early July, the Prosecutor General's Office demanded that Shefler and a number of his companies be recognized as an extremist association and that assets in Russia be seized in favor of the state. According to the supervisory agency, he supported the actions of the Kiev regime, including the issue of shelling of Russian regions. In the same month, the Tambov court arrested Amber Talvis JSC, which belongs to Shefler, as part of a lawsuit filed by the state prosecutor's office.

Before that, in June, it was reported that the rights to use the brands of vodka "Moskovskaya" and "Stolichnaya" in the Benelux countries were sold for €1.6 million to Spirits International at an auction in The Hague. The company is part of Shefler's SPI Group concern.
