Uk Lifts Sanctions On Ex-Sberbank First Deputy Ceo Khasis
(MENAFN- AzerNews) The United Kingdom has removed Lev Khasis, one of the few
Russian top managers who has a record of managerial work with
global corporations, from its sanction list, according to the
latest update by the UK Office of financial Sanctions
Implementation (OFSI), Azernews reports, citing Interfax.
Starting July 6, Khasis is no longer subject to an asset freeze
or trust services sanctions, it said.
Khasis was vice president of Alfa bank and supervised its retail
project, the Perekrestok retail chain, in the 1990s. He later
served as executive director of X5 Retail Group in 2006-2011 and
was senior vice president of the U.S.' Wal-Mart Stores in
2011-2013.
Khasis joined Sberbank in 2013 as first deputy CEO, and his
functions included, inter alia, the development of e-commerce. His
departure from Sberbank was announced even before the start of the
special military operation, on February 15, 2022. However, it was
not formalized immediately, and the Sberbank Supervisory Board's
decision was initially formulated as follows: "terminate [Khasis']
powers starting June 1, 2022." A week later, the bank reported that
the Supervisory Board's decision was amended to "terminate [his]
powers by June 1, 2022," but this did not spare Khasis from being
included in the UK sanctions list along with Sberbank's top
managers who remained in their positions.
