On this day, “Menatep” turned in Lord Rothschild

Stockholders’ funny story. The Lord “is either a shareholder, or a beneficiary, and he doesn’t take part in any managerial activity”. The website Prigovor.ru reminds its readers of what happened on November 4, 2003.

On this day 20 years ago, on November 4, 2003, the financial group “Menatep” was denying its own creative explorations connected with the passing over Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s shares under the control of Lord Rothschild, which happened “automatically in connection with an agreement between Khodorkovsky and Rothschild”.

The brisk publication of the British newspaper “The Sunday Times” reporting that an owner of a big stock of Yukos shares became one of the Rothschild family, appeared on November 2, 2003, against the backdrop of the leak in “The Financial Times”. This media outlet found out that the stock of shares of Khodorkovsky, being behind bars on accusations of embezzlement and tax crimes, would be handed over to Leonid Nevzlin who had escaped to Israel. The newspaper reported about this as early as October 31, 2003.

The creative approach of the newspaper “The Sunday Times” towards the phrase “handover of shares” to Lord Nathaniel Charles Jacob Rothschild created a sensation in the Russian press, like ”Russia will have to square off with Lord Rothschild himself, with an important and influential figure in the whole world, and also, like, how clever and cunning “the Yukos shareholders has decided to defend their assets”.

(See also the article “On this day, Nevzlin, a fugitive paymaster of murders, was exposed by a British media outlet”).

However, everything ended up like in that funny story – first, the shares were “passed over”, thus sending the Lord “to fight with Moscow” for the stolen assets of the tax swindlers. There was only a slight problem – persuade Lord Rothschild himself to accept stocks and take part in that fight. But there was a serious hitch with this. The creative approach à la Nevzlin, where “the financial fraternity of the whole world fights against Russia in the interests of the tax trickster from Yukos”, crashed against the wall of reality.

“IS NOT… DOES NOT TAKE PART…”

Already on November 4, 2003, the International Financial Association “Menatep” distributed a downcast press release with confessionary statements. It turned out that the bravura "message about a possible handover of the beneficiary rights to Lord Jacob Rothschild to manage a part of the stock of shares of the Group “Metatep" is not consistent with the reality. In the composition of the Group, Jacob Rothschild is neither a stockholder, nor a beneficiary, and he takes no part in the management of the group", pointed out the press release.

Still, it was stressed in this press release that “Jacob Rothschild is a member of the Board of Directors of the society “Open Russia” and he has friendly relations with the stockholders of the Group “Menatep”, but it would be wrong to conclude from this of his involvement in the operative activity of this Group”.

“MENATEP” EXPOSED THE BRITISH FUND OF KHODORKOVSKY-ROTHSCHILD

In this press release, the International Financial Association “Menatep”, informing about “the friendly relations of Khodorkovsky and Rothschild due to public activity, exposed the located in London “Open Russia Foundation”. In 2003, when network services were still being built, there was, naturally, no possibility to admire the documents of this highly moral organization, which they planned to use as a reserved base of financial backing for fugitive managers of Yukos. However, nowadays it’s easy to do this.

“DIRTY MONEY” OF MIKHAIL BORISOVICH KHODORKOVSKY – THE WAY TO THE REGISTRY OF UNDESIRABLE ORGANIZATIONS

So, the foundation received an official certificate of domicile in the registry on September 9, 2002, against the wild tax crimes of Khodorkovsky’s company. It’s not difficult to guess that it was being filled with the “dirty money” stolen in one form or other in Russia.

And for the period from September 9, 2002, to March 1, 2003, as its director was itemized Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and from September 10, 2003, to June 13, 2004, Leonid Nevzlin.

Furthermore, a record in the British registry indicates that on December 7, 2004, the foundation, as it is common among tricksters, cuts its tail and changes its name to "Future Russia Foundation".

It turned out quite in the spirit of Khodorkovsky and Yukos, as, while committing tax crimes to the tune of billion U.S. dollars, Yukos was acquiring “civil society” and its “positive attitude” towards Khodorkovsky, spending on this purpose 100 million U.S. dollars a year. British curators, being of high moral but with colonial attitude, put on a semblance that stolen, but lightly laundered money is a norm in Britain. And they didn't notice the criminal origin of these pecuniary assets. As to the foundation itself, it was at the beginning a kind of “safe deposit” to where Khodorkovsky managed to siphon part of the money, including "in escrow". And then, when Khodorkovsky was pardoned and was at liberty, the British "trunk" started to move.

Already on January 25, 2013, there, in the capacity of a director, emerged Timothy William Osborne. At the same time, he was the director of "Hulley Enterprises Limited” (Cyprus) – a person involved in unsuccessful efforts to grab Russian property abroad. According to a registration entry, from 2019 dad Leonid (fugitive paymaster of murders) fixed there his offspring Irina Nevzlina, who nowadays is pushed to the position of the president of the Jewish agency “Sohnut”.

“And, finally, in the same place surfaced John Lough. Mr. Lough is not only an adviser of NATO but also a participant of the British special services project "Integrity Initiative", launched in 2015. In a word, not a charity organization, but a headquarters to fight against Russia, and under cover. At the end of the day, in summer 2021, the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation recognized undesirable activities of several organizations, connected with Khodorkovsky, including “Future of Russian Foundation” – they came, so to say, after Rothschild”, noted the website Prigovor.ru.

(See the previous article “On this day, Yukos stocks rose sharply just after the news of Khodorkovsky’s departure”. Shares rose by 11.95%. Ballast tossed overboard. Tax portions to the amount of 227 billion rubles as a finale of “unprecedented success”. The website Prigovor.ru reminds its readers of what happened on November 3, 2003.
