UN banned Sberbankin pic - Jacob Rees Mogg had £44.5m invested in via his Somerset pals up until autumn last year. Jan 31, 2022 last Sberbank shares sold. While Mogg got security briefings in Cabinet about Ukraine - his mates sold Sberbank @peterjukes
Rees-Mogg investment firm offloads Russian bank shares amid Ukraine tensions @BylineTimes@Kevin_Maguire@PippaCrerar@carolecadwalla
Somerset Capital Management sold its final shares in Sberbank as Putin built up military force
Mogg used to work at Lloyd George Asset Management where they boasted about "visiting all their clients east of the Urals" *Global Investor May 1, 2002 he's quoted
This is Somerset co-founder Edward Robertson running it - lo and behold Sberbank is there - Mogg loves them to bits
Not a one-off Moggy loves Sberbank 2007
Just about the time in 2007 that Moggy breaks away and forms Somerset capital management with his Lloyd George Management mates
3 days before selling his last £44.5m shares in Russia's UN banned Sberbank Jacob Rees-Mogg bleats
"We need a sense of proportion the mail is right" - without saying to anyone he unloaded £44.5m in shares in Sberbank before sanctions smashed their value
@nicktolhurst Kiril Dmitriev/RDIF 40 joint agreements with Mubadala Inv fund (sovereign wealth fund) UAE main base for Chandler's Legatum. Dmytro Firtash's mortgage giver UAE (Anglo Gold Trade Bank - opened by Prince Andrew). David Rowland family bank giving millions to the Tory Party/Firtash
@nicktolhurst Wirecard fraud stripping a payment systems bank - multiple accounts traced to UAE and Tory millionaire donor David Rowland's UAE-based bank - Banque Haviland has offices in Moscow. But keeps it quiet
@nicktolhurst Literally hundreds of millions going to Conservative Middle East Council from the Middle East sprinkled around the various countries - all documented. That's why there are now TWO CMECs having a fight over the right to 'be the one taking the cash'
There is a UK cabinet minister with a 20yr track record of investing Russian/Putin companies. Before he set up on own with his Lloyd George Management friends he stuck a large amount of LG cash in a UK company 40% owned by this Putin-backed Russian asset
The UK security services 'agreed with me' over just how dangerous the Russian backed Putin asset was and vetoed a Cameron Cabinet appointment due to dirty Russian backed cash
The US Ambassador to Ukraine then had a chat with our Putin-backed Russian asset - documented it in a cable which was leaked to Wikileaks
Our 'Putin asset' agreed he worked for the Russian mob (Putin is Russian mob)
@PippaCrerar@Kevin_Maguire "We emphasize company visits and we visit every company we invest in" - Jacob Rees-Mogg to Global Investor May 2002 - his company Lloyd George Asset Management ran the Siberian Investment Company "every investment east of the Ural mountains"
@PippaCrerar@Kevin_Maguire We'd all now recognise these companies as Putin linked even back in 2002 - the FSB/KGB was moving in to take control of them & Mogg and co were happily investing "having visited them all"
One of the board members of the Siberian Investment Company was Oleg Preksin (clearly a creature of the Russian state, high ranking and Putin linked - on the board of a LG fund)
"Uniquely we invite key clients to join an advisory board which meets annually, encouraging an effective alignment of interest between the partnership and our investors" (Jacob Rees-Mogg's SCM) @peterjukes@carolecadwalla@ByDonkeys WHO MIGHT THEY BE?
Given volumes of cash SCM poured into Russia (+ 10 years earlier via Lloyd George Asset Management's Siberian Investment Fund did) - did Lukoil, Yandex, Sberbank (beneficiaries of Mogg's largesse - have a Beneficial Godfather acting as a SCM shareholder?
Rees-Mogg ran the LG Antenna Fund and invested in Zander Group (which is more than one third owned by Russian backed Dmytro Firtash via his Spadi Trading shell company) - given Firtash love of laundering cash could a representative of Firtash be 'on board' of Somerset Cap Mgt?
@lukeharding1968 Been reading your excellent book (20 pages to go) date error on p274 - Firtash was indicted in Chicago June 2013 (not 14) date 20th - it was then sealed 30th June 2013. Reopened again Oct 30-Nov 3 2014 (part of Victoria Nuland push to get Ukraine to side with EU)
Nov 20th 2013 - Firtash puts £5m deposit down on ex tube station at Brompton Rd (Mortgage from Tory donor David Rowland) making a succession of payments until 2016 (days before start of Brexit)
Nov 20 2013-to-Feb 27 2014 (99 days) Jones Lang laSalle failed to Google your story on Wikileaks cables from Amb Bill Taylor (Dec 10) stating Firtash worked with Russian backed gangster Don Semyon Mogilevitch in Ukraine - (continued)
@Kevin_Maguire Jacob Rees-Mogg put his LG Antenna fund's cash in Zander Grp. Top donor Shetler-Jones (aka Putin protege Dmytro Firtash). Tchenguiz bros and Firtash move funds to invest in SCL (Cambridge Analytica) - Firtash employs Zander CEO, Tories work for Zander (Lord Risby)
Here's Risby confessing he worked for Firtash to the WSJ December 2013
Here's Mogg running the fund that invests in Firtash/Zander
