Founder of Coral Energy (later 2Rivers Group)

Tahir Garayev is a founder of Coral Energy (later 2Rivers Group). Through a network of companies, he enables the shipment and export of Russian oil, in particular from Rosneft, by concealing the actual origin of the oil. In particular, the 2Rivers network controls and utilises a large proportion of the vessels in Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet”. Therefore, Tahir Garayev is significantly frustrating the provisions of Decision 2014/512/CFSP and Regulation (EU) No 833/2014. He is also involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.
