nimetu kirjutas: Kas see tähendab, et kui venelased näiteks kasutavad mingit EL-is asuvat vahendajat või riiulifirmat, siis on kõik justkui OK? Paber kannatab ju kõike.

Saame näha. Julgen arvata, et soomlastel võiks olla võimekust tuvastada nn "tegelikke kasusaajaid" firmade ja vahendajate taga aga eks ka omandiskeemid ja hübriidsed mõjutusvahendid aina täiustuvad.

Pigem jäi soome meediast mulje, et senini polnudki neil väga seadusandlikku võimalust sellist maaäri keelata.

Note! However, group structures and artificial arrangements are taken into account, and the obligation to apply for a permission cannot therefore be circumvented by cutting ownership to several formally separate owners or by chaining ownership. A permission is always required if an individual entity outside the EU and the EEA has an effective influence of 10% ownership or equivalent to it in the entity buying the real estate.

The Ministry of Defence may also require that a permission is applied for if it is evident that the real estate has been bought on behalf of another person in order to circumvent the obligation to apply for a licence.

Kolmapäeva pärastlõunal toimus ametlik operatsioon Vene oligarhile Igor Kesajevile kuuluval saarel Puumalas.
Ida-Soome politsei olukorrakeskus kinnitas, et politseil oli ametlik abimissioon Puumalas Kotasaares. Ajutise abi taotleja oli täitevorgan.

Kesajev kanti Ukraina-vastaste tehingute tõttu EL-i Venemaa-vastaste sanktsioonide nimekirja 2022. aasta aprilli alguses.

Helsingin Sanomat teatas 2022. aasta aprillis, et Soome täitevvõim on võtnud Kotasaari osana EL-i Venemaa-vastastest sanktsioonidest üle.
Kasajev ostis Kotasaari aastal 2020. Iltalehti andmeil oli tehingusumma 700 000 eurot.

Kinnisvaradokumentide järgi on saarel mitu hoonet. Kogu kinnistu pindala on üle 20 hektari. Saarel on ka kopteriväljak.

Puumala valla kodulehelt leitud kõrvalekaldumise loa dokumentide järgi on 420-ruutmeetrine puhkekorter, s.o peamaja, 530-ruutmeetrine külalistemaja, sajaruutmeetrine rannasaun ja 150-ruutmeetrine nn. staabimaja olid sel ajal Kotasaarel valmimas.

Kohtutäituri büroo korraldas kolmapäeval läbiotsimise, ütles kohtutäituri eritäitmise üksuse juht Aki Virtanen.

- Tegemist on otsinguga, mis sihib kohta, kust otsime arestitavat ja arestitavat vara, samuti uurimismaterjali.

Muu operatsiooniga seotud teave on salastatud. Virtanen ei ütle näiteks, miks täiteamet politseilt ametiabi palus.

- Ülejäänud on operatiivküsimused, mida ma ei kommenteeri.

Sündmuskohal viibinud Ilta-Sanomi kaameramehe sõnul oli politseiautosid vähemalt 4–5. Politseioperatsioon oli läbi veidi pärast viit pärastlõunal.

Ilta-Sanomiga ühendust võtnud lugeja ütleb, et saarel olevad hooned tundusid tühjad olevat juba märtsis ja aprillis 2023. Ta ütleb, et kuulis, et elekter oleks majadest ära võetud juba 2022. aasta suvel.

Eelmisel kevadel ja talvel polnud inimestest jälgegi.

Selle asemel oli kinnistutel palju valvekaameraid.

- Iga räästa all ja nurgas, kirjeldab ta.

Saare peahoone on suur punakas puidust palkmaja, mille suured aknad avanevad järvele. Maja nurkades on valvekaamerad.

Kopteriväljakuga seoses on avatud ruumi soojaks hoidmiseks kaminaga puidust varikatus. Põllu ümber on rajatud maavallid.

Miljardär Igor Kesajev on tuntud oma sidemete poolest Venemaa julgeolekuteenistusega FSB. Talle kuulub Soomes nii maad kui kinnisvara.

Vene ajalehe Novaja Gazeta andmetel juhib oligarh alates 2003. aastast sihtasutust Monolit, mis toetab praeguste FSB töötajate ning pensionäride ja nende perede "rahalisi, meditsiinilisi, sotsiaalseid ja kultuurilisi vajadusi".

Kesajev kanti Ukraina-vastaste tehingute tõttu EL-i sanktsioonide nimekirja 2022. aasta kevadel. Kotasaari sattus sanktsioonide osana väljatõrjumise meetmete sihtmärgiks.

- Kesajev on seotud majandustegevusega, mis on toonud märkimisväärset tulu Krimmi annekteerimise ja Ukraina destabiliseerimise eest vastutavale Venemaa valitsusele. Lisaks toetab ta materiaalselt Venemaa valitsust ja saab selle tegevusest kasu, öeldakse sanktsiooniotsuses.

Kesajev on ka Megapolise ettevõtte kaasomanik, mis kontrollib suurt osa Venemaa sigaretiturust.

On Wednesday afternoon, law enforcement officials were carrying out an operation on an island owned by Russian oligarch Igor Kesaev in southeastern Finland. The island of Kotasaari is on a lake in Puumala, some 120km by road from the Parikkala border crossing point.

Aki Virtanen, head of the National Enforcement Authority's special enforcement unit, confirmed to Yle that there had been a search of Kotasaari.

"During the on-site search, bailiffs looked for assets to be seized and frozen, as well as investigative material. The Authority asked the Eastern Finland Police Department for official help to support this task," Virtanen said.

Virtanen declined to reveal any other details, such as whether the operation was related to sanctions against Russia.

Earlier, the Eastern Finland Police Department confirmed to the tabloid Ilta-Sanomat that its officers were involved in an operation on the island at the request of the National Enforcement Authority, which it said would be responsible for any announcements on the case.

Arms manufacturer Kesaev was put on the EU sanctions list in April 2022 due to his links to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to Reuters, he owned about half of a plant that produced weapons for the Russian military, as well as Russia's biggest tobacco distributor. He is also alleged to have connections with the Russian security service FSB.

Surprise heliport

The billionaire bought Kotasaari, located near the Saimaa canal, in 2020.


The municipality of Puumala gave him an exceptional permit to build a 420-square-metre private villa on the island, along with a 530-square-metre guest house and a 150-square-metre staff cottage. However, an heliport that appeared on the island came as a surprise to the municipality, as it was not mentioned in the zoning plan.

A year ago, the National Enforcement Authority confiscated three Russian airplanes.

In September US broadcaster CBS reported that Kesaev, who owned a Russian arms factory, was among at least a dozen now-sanctioned Russian oligarchs who were issued so-called "golden passports" by EU member Cyprus. Between 2013 and 2020, the island nation granted citizenship – and EU access – to any foreigner who invested more than two million euros in the country.

Oligarch and arms dealer Igor Kesaev lost his Cyprus golden passport, thus he is no longer EU citizen on paper (source: Cyprus radio).

Now auths can hit his shady properties hard. In Finland he has built a complex that is suitable as support base for russian special forces.

Two Russian oligarchs who acquired Cypriot citizenship during the Christofias Presidency and were then included in groups of citizens as high-risk persons, are deprived of the golden passport based on yesterday's decision of the Council of Ministers.

The former oligarch was targeted by Moscow and sanctioned by the Russian Federation. The latter was sanctioned by Brussels following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The first case concerns Konstantin Grigorisyn, born November 16, 1965. He is a Russian billionaire businessman and art collector from Ukraine. Originally from Zaporizhia, he only received Ukrainian citizenship in 2016. He became wealthy by reselling metal products from Ukraine to Russia in the late 1980s. He is a major shareholder in Energy Standard Group, which owns several factories in Ukraine, among them the Sumy Engineering and Science Association, the transport company "Ukrrichflot" (Ukrainian river fleet) and Zaporozhtransformator (ZTR). On November 1, 2018, Russia imposed sanctions against 322 citizens of Ukraine, including Grigoryshyn. He obtained the golden passport in Cyprus on 4/1/2011. In November 2020, he was sentenced to prison for tax evasion of $18 million and ordered to pay $32 million in restitution.

The Russian oligarch Igor Kasaev was naturalized on 25/5/2012 during the Christofias government and as mentioned in the conclusion of the Nikolatos committee he is on the US sanctions list as the head of the arms company Degtiariov, which allegedly supplies the separatists of eastern Ukraine. Kasaev was added to the European Union's sanctions list on 4/8/2022. It is Russia's largest cigarette distributor and is said to have close ties to Russia's FSB secret service through the Monolith Foundation, which has a formal agreement with the FSB to support FSB retirees. Kasaev was born on 30/10/1966 in North Ossetia and is on the Forbes list of billionaires with a fortune of 3.1 billion dollars.

The enigmatic Russian real estate has been the talk of the locals, especially after the world political situation has tightened.

Stoljarenko's neighbors Matti Sormula and Kalevi Kolehmainen , who are waiting for the day's mail at the mailbox , say that the millionaire has visited his farm three times. As far as they know, it has been many years since the last time.

However, there have always been people living on the farm. They are probably janitors and builders hired by Stoljarenko, mostly from the Baltics, who live in the old main building and now also in the former barn.

"You can't really have a conversation with them when they only speak Russian," says Sormula.

Only one Estonian who has been permanently living in Finland under the tutelage of Stoljarenko has become more familiar thanks to his knowledge of Finnish.

Almost 3.5 million euros worth of cash was also found in Airiston Helme's premises during the raid.

There has been no evidence of suspected security breaches by Russian vacationers. The Airiston Helmi holiday village, located in the Turku archipelago and owned by a Russian businessman, was raided in the fall of 2018 on suspicion of money laundering and tax evasion. Now, at the end of April, the police decided to end the investigation and return the cash seized from the villas.
