Donated $23 million to daughter and son-in-law: Switzerland caught a Russian billionaire red-handed.


Ukrainian-Russian oligarch German Khan tried to transfer $23 million to his family, but a court in Switzerland blocked this transfer. The money was frozen in an account at a Swiss bank. The name of the organization through which the transfer was made is not disclosed. The bank also blocked Khan's accounts and reported this to the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs.
The bank that blocked the transfer remains unknown. The decision to prohibit the transfer of Khan's money was made by the financial organization itself, after which the bank blocked the account and reported it to the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (Seco). The court in Switzerland reviewed Khan's lawsuit but decided to leave the funds frozen.
German Khan has four children, including two daughters and two sons. The eldest daughter is married to Dutch lawyer Alex Van der Zwaan. It was found that Van der Zwaan provided false testimony to the FBI regarding his connections with a partner of Paul Manafort, the former head of Donald Trump's campaign team.
In August last year, the U.S. Treasury Department included Khan in the sanctions list, along with the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs. The oligarch is also subject to personal international sanctions from 27 EU countries, the United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, and other states due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
It is also known that Dmitry Firtash, another Ukrainian oligarch, is suing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky due to the application of personal sanctions against him.
