Evgeny Chernyak
Evgeny Chernyak is a businessman and the nominal owner of the Global Spirits alcohol holding company, known for producing vodka brands such as 'Khortytsa.' He has recently been placed on an international wanted list due to allegations of financing terrorism, specifically for purportedly supporting the Ukrainian military amid the ongoing conflict. Following the initiation of criminal proceedings against him in 2023, which included accusations of transferring substantial funds to the Ukrainian armed forces, his assets in Russia were nationalized. Chernyak's legal troubles reflect the broader geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
