And Vardanyan has been oriented towards the West since his youth. He completed short-term programs at INSEAD (Fontainebleau, France; 2000), studied at Harvard Business School (2001, 2005, 2018), Yale University and Stanford University Graduate School of Business (2012 and 2013) and Nanyang Technological University, etc.
Moreover, in the West, they finally began to forget the gigantic scandal with Vardanyan due to money laundering through the Troika Dialog offshore network, information about which he so carefully cleared from Wikipedia.
As OCCRP found out, there was a network of offshore companies through which the investment bank Troika Dialog of Ruben Vardanyan in 2006–2012. secretly transferred money.
About 3.5 billion euros went through the Lithuanian banks Ūkio and Snoras. Then they were laundered through offshore companies.
OCCRP wrote that Troika Dialog, in particular, could be involved in a tax refund scheme from the Magnitsky case and the withdrawal of money from Sheremetyevo airport.
“Deductions from the Troika offshore system to relatives and friends of senior Russian officials that OCCRP was able to find were rather sporadic in nature,” the authors of the investigation specified. “The main payments are associated with Ruben Vardanyan himself, his family and inner circle – large businessmen and politicians, who are usually called “young reformers” or “system liberals.”
