A court in Moscow arrested for two months in absentia the founder of the Global Spirits holding, the producer of “Khortytsa” vodka, Yevgeny Chernyak in the case of financing terrorism.
The record of the Khamovniche court also mentions the seizure of the property of a Ukrainian businessman. No other details are provided.
According to the investigation, Chernyak together with unnamed accomplices in 2022 transferred more than 500 million rubles to help the armed forces of Ukraine “to carry out terrorist activities on the territory of the Russian Federation.” In addition, according to the SC, in 2023 he sent “goods intended for military operations” to the Armed Forces in the amount of more than 90 million rubles.
After the start of Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, Global Spirits announced its withdrawal from the Russian and Belarusian markets and revoked the licenses for the production and sale of its products. The production of Global Spirits in Russia changed owners in the spring of last year.
