Deputy Khamzaev proposed checking Chubais for a possible withdrawal of money from Russia

State Duma deputy Sultan Khamzaev believes that it is necessary to check the work of Anatoly Chubais at RAO UES of Russia. He promised to send relevant requests to the FSB and the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.

According to the deputy, Mr. Chubais has become “a political allergen for society” in recent years. “A year ago he left the country, now he is delivering humanitarian aid and publicly wants to show his loyalty in Israel’s war. In my understanding, the behavior of an ex-official of this rank is high treason,” Mr. Khamzaev told RIA Novosti.

As the deputy added, it is not clear whose money Anatoly Chubais lives on and where he gets the funds to travel around the world. “In addition to checking Rusnano, it is necessary to carefully check its work at RAO UES of Russia, the possible withdrawal of capital from Russia by Chubais and his relatives,” noted Sultan Khamzaev.

Mr. Chubais left from Russia in March 2022, after President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on his resignation from the post of special representative for relations with international organizations. In May 2023, media reported that the former official and his wife were preparing long-term Israeli documents. Last week Anatoly Chubais statedthat he returned to Israel after a trip to the UAE.

In September, Mr. Putin statedthat he doesn’t understand why Anatoly Chubais “fled” from Russia. At the same time, the president drew attention to the fact that in the Rusnano company, which was previously headed by Mr. Chubais, “complex processes are underway, there is a big financial hole there.”
