A list of 59 foreign companies that can be nationalized due to the cessation of work in Russia has been submitted to the government and the Prosecutor General’s Office. The list prepared by the Public Consumer Initiative organization is at the disposal of Izvestia.
It included companies that announced the termination of work in Russia without providing guarantees to consumers. Among them are Volkswagen, Apple, IKEA, Microsoft, IBM, Shell, McDonald’s, Porsche, Toyota, H&M, etc.
It is noted that the list will expand depending on new applications of foreign business.
“Law enforcement agencies, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Rospotrebnadzor will also be involved in the work on this list, each in part of its competence. Of course, the list is open. As soon as there are companies that announce their withdrawal without providing guarantees to Russian consumers, they are brought there. Accordingly, administrative, criminal and judicial procedures will be applied to them, ”Oleg Pavlov, head of the Public Consumer Initiative organization, explained to Izvestia.
According to him, the authorities have already formed a unified position that foreign businesses cannot just close their enterprises in Russia. He recalled that Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov spoke about similar scenarios for the development of relations with foreign partners, and United Russia Secretary Andrei Turchak also spoke about possible nationalization.
“Getting into the anti-sanctions blacklist means for the violating company and its management the realization of the following risks: the seizure of accounts and assets, the introduction of external management, the nationalization of property. Also, the management of these enterprises can be held criminally liable for deliberate bankruptcy and fraud on an especially large scale,” Oleg Pavlov explained.
